Bloody Trac is why Clarry won’t win a Brownlow by the way. And why Trac won’t win one either.  Rude 😂

If clarry can win the coaches' award he can win the brownlow.

Coaches votes are a lot more accurate about a players game than the Brownlow.

i think that's partly to do with 5 players getting votes rather than 3, and also 2 separate sets of votes rather than just 1 set

I reckon Clarko gave Oliver 4. He basically killed the game in the first quarter. Made sure it was done and dusted. 
Great to see Kade recognized too!

Not sure it was Oliver that killed the game.  It was a real team result for all four quarters.  He had a lot of possessions but how effective were they?  I don't have the quarter by quarter figures but overall he wasn't in the top 4 for any of: tackles, i50's, goal assists, meters gained. 

His 7 votes are very well deserved but it annoys me when people just look at his possession count to assess his (or anyone's) contribution to a result.

And it annoys me when someone takes a cheap 'drive by' shot at one of our players:  Bloody Trac is why Clarry won’t win a Brownlow by the way. 

Like @DemonlandI'll take premierships and NSM over Brownlow every day of the week.

I rewatched the replay yesterday and Clarry was destroying them. Not only was he everywhere, but he got his hands on the footy consistently which created the ball movement that got us those early goals. He was at the start of multiple chains that resulted in goals. 
He was the most influential player on the ground in that first quarter. 

As for my last comment, that was clearly tongue in cheek. I think anyone who wonder why Clarry hasn't won a Brownlow yet needs to understand that he has a lot of competition within his own team for votes. Both he and Trac are incredibly consistent and extremely good players, who will continue to take votes of one another.

Of course I rather those two win flags than win Brownlows!

I agree. But surely track pinches votes off clarry in the coaches award just as much as the brownlow.

I see no reason why they can't both clock more than a vote per game and then finish joint winners!

Imagine the final round on Brownlow night. Oliver is ahead by two votes and had a good game, but Petracca just blew the Swans apart in one of his habitual monster events.

Sydney versus Melbourne

Melbourne, C Petracca, 3 votes.

Melbourne, C... (crowd murmurs) ... Salem, 2 votes.

Melbourne, C Oliver, 1 vote.

Maybe it is the other way round...

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
