    Wow I am shocked Gawn only got 5 votes. Thought he was brilliant and the most influential player on the ground.

    That looks like:

    • 9 = 4 and 5 for both Pickett and Lever
    • 5 = 2 and 3 for both Petracca and Gawn
    • 2 = 1 and 1 for Oliver.

    So very similar assessment by both coaches.

    Look out Brisbane, Clarrie’s not going to like only getting 2 votes in “His Award”

    De Goey got 10 votes.  Even without stella performances each week he could end up on top as there aren't other players of note to consistently take votes from him.  Conversely Oliver, Petracca and Gawn take votes off each other. 

    The same goes for the Brownlow. 

    Would feel 🤢 if De Goey won the Brownlow.

    Do you think he should get more or less?

    Daicos brothers and Pendles are always in the mix LH.  Not sure how DeGoey got 10 in that match.  second half was good but certainly not as noticeable in the first.

    Agreed DD, but will they do it consistently enough...

    ...after all it is a midfielders medal.

    It's tough because the great performers we had on the night were REALLY good performers. I'm ok with them rating Lever high, he was crucial at times. Not going to argue with coaches.

    Ours was a pretty even TEAM effort which reflects the spread.

    In the absence of May, Lever was immense.  Best on IMHO.

    Don’t worry, Ebay Petracca will get himself into trouble sooner rather than later.

    Lever gets 4 and 5 coaches votes. Now watch as he gets ignored by the umpires in the Brownlow who instead give 1 vote to the Bont

    Clarry:  33 touches, 7 tackles, 8 clearances. 2 votes. It shows how much everyone takes what he does for granted.

    Does it?  Or does it say that on the day others played better.

    I will be shot down for this next comment.  Clarry is amazing and consistent for a full game and as a result is a worthy BnF and Coaches champion.  But it is rare that he is the 'game changer'. 

    Our 'game changers' are Gawn and Petracca.  When they go into 'beast mode' there is no stopping them.  They will put in an amazing spell that turns the game and demoralises the opponent.  Like in the GF, on Sat night there was a point where Petracca played as if 'we don't lose this game on my watch' and he went into 'beast mode'.   He is a tactical weapon, breaks the game open and turns it in our favour with an amazing spell on the ball.  Ditto Max.

    Agree.  I think Brownlow should go 

    3- Gawn 

    2- Petracca 

    1- Oliver 

    not sure Kozzzy will get a vote.  Lever should be votes but umps recognizing defenders for votes is a low probability!!

    Consistency king. Clarry is more a 'play starter' whereas Trac is the master of the score involvement.

    Fair enough, although 700 metres is a lot of thrusts giving opportunities.

    Maybe coaches are hard markers or they just remember what Chris Judd did with the ball 

    But if you're trying to fit Max Trac Ollie Kossie and Jake into the mix then the numbers are sure to be difficult to balance

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
