    So Cunrow can hardly score a vote all season and Fritsch gets 2 votes for kicking 4?

    ...Well I guess consistency isn't exactly a strong suit of umpires is it.

    Rohan Marshall with just the 3 votes got massively dudded too. Especially since Brad Crouch was β€˜awarded’ 18.

    Gus had 37 versus North. He deserved 3. But Hunter and Fritta over Trac against North and Sydney is a joke.Β 

    My player ratings in those two.....

    Vs Norf...

    1.Β  Hunter > 6.05

    2.Β  Tracc > 5.90

    3.Β  Gus > 4.90

    Vs Swans...

    1.Β  Clarry > 4.57

    2.Β  Viney > 4.50

    3.Β  Tracc > 3.85Β 

    (Fritsch ranked 6th > 3.55)

    Not sure how Fritsch got votes ahead of Tracc, who had a huge influence on the outcome of the game in the second half.

    Do not take the award off the umpires unless you really do want to see the voting rigged. Yes, it's sometimes a dog's breakfast but the alternative is ex - players easily compromised.Β

    Seems Trac and Bont are destined to never win one despite being the best players every year and influencing games more than their peers. Both got robbed of clear votes tonight.Β 

    Trac getting no votes in the final game was stupid. Getting 1 vote for his game against the Saints was stupid.

    The umpires are stupid. I’m [censored] sick of them. The umpires have determined the outcome of games this year and legitimately shaped the entire finals series. It’s beyond pathetic and as someone who’s attending 100s of live games since the 1980s, I’m thiiiiiiis close to giving up on the sport because of their [censored] incompetence and the rules being so vague etc. Stuff this

    Don't forget Clarry.

    It's a travesty Neale has two and clarry none.

    At least Clarry has two coaches'. Neale zero.

    It's clear our club has no power within AFL house, house of crooks!

    Let's face it it.
    If Trac could kick he'd romp in a couple Brownlows.
    His Achilles heal.

    The issue is that you’re dealing with corporate psychopaths and narcissists at the top of the AFL. You could have a million comments or a million signatures on a petition and they would not care.Β

    Work out a way for the coaches to vote. They get it right most weeks.

    I will take that chance. There would be lots of ways of ensuring that the voting isn't rigged. The current system is a joke.

    Gulden was a certainty for 3 in the last, with 42 and 2 goals. Got 1 vote.

    Bont was the unlucky one, with that crappy 3 to Neale, for a nothing game of 21 possies and no scores. How can Kelly 42 and Coniglio 38 in that Neale game get no votes?

    We know who Maynard will accidentally target.

    that’s how almost every award in the world works. a hell of a lot better that umpires who haven’t played at the top level or sometimes any level

    Would also like to know how Trent Rivers ended up with 0 votes. Particularly when the likes of Chandler, Pickett, JVR, Salem and BBB got votes πŸ€”

    I actually feel a bit for Neale, and wouldn’t be surprised if this affects his GF game. During his speech, β€œit doesn’t sit well with me at all to be honest”.Β

    Maybe GD. I'm just suggesting that an umpire likely has more credibility and moral fortitude than some narcissistic vanker from AFL House.Β

    He is a lovely humble guy and I don’t think he deserves the wave of anger that he’s going to cop now. He didn’t do anything wrong and he didn’t ask for the votes or the win.Β 

    He will now get caught up in this conversation that he’s an unworthy winner and frankly I think he agrees. Hope it’s not a distraction come Saturday. A Norm Smith will shut people up pretty quickly.Β

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle.Β As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.Β

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
