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.

    I know Danger bashing is a thing... but he was incredible on Sunday. He is in red hot form at the moment.

    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...

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
