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...

  • NON-MFC: Round 01

    With Opening Round done and dusted, Round 1 sees the full AFL competition finally swing into action for 2026. Discuss all the games this week that do not involve the Dees, share your tips, and let us know which results would suit Demons best.

  • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
