3 St kilda players?

Please. 

 

Marshall was outstanding. The other two don't deserve votes

Both coaches agreed to give votes to two of the three St Kilda players. You could throw a blanket over another 15 players for the remaining single votes.

 

Steele was very impressive too - top rated player on the ground (by Player Ratings) and clearly the number 1 pressure player on the ground.

May has now picked up 25 votes (of his 26 season votes) in the last five matches.

I think Trac should have 17-18 Brownlow votes.  Daicos will have about 24 votes and is clearly the favourite.  Merrett is a smoky but has now firmed in betting 

It will be interesting to see if May gets the umpires vote for this game.

Defenders have traditionally not polled over well in the Brownlow but that was an outstanding Bachman's game worthy of the maximum.

 

I’d happily argue Wanganeen, Steele and Marshall were all better than Brayshaw.

Wanganeen is exactly the type of player we have been screaming out for for 5 years


1 vote for Brayshaw? Seems like at least one of these coaches doesn't know anything about football 😝

Wonder how Max and Brodie are feeling that the opposition ruck got 7 coaches votes? Hopefully fired up

It didn't fire them up after Jackson whooped both of them

Bachman?  Johann Sebastian or maybe Carl Phillip Emanuel?

Thanks mono, I usually pick up typos but .....

Anyway, I'd go for Johann Sebastian .

I think Maysie was BOG on the night, but the umps will give CP5 the 3 Brownlow votes followed by Maysie with 2 and 1 to Marshall.

Really? I thought you'd prefer to be takin' care of business with the Bachman-Turner Overdrive. Or maybe attending a tea party with Michelle.

I'm opting more for the gracious lifestyle of The Manor these days LDC.

The vote split by coach:

  • 5/5 May
  • 3/4 Marshall and Petracca
  • 2/2 Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera
  • 1/0 Steele and Brayshaw

With the exception of the '1' vote the coaches saw it almost identically.

Hope 'Uncle Bitter' doesn't get too used to the gracious lifestyle...this board wouldn't be the same without his always entertaining and occasionally irreverent posts...☺️

And, @WalkingCivilWar may not recognise the new 'Uncle Bitter' to irreverently spar with...

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
