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...

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
