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...

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
