    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 ‘awarded’ 18.

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

    My player ratings in those two.....

    Vs Norf...

    1.  Hunter > 6.05

    2.  Tracc > 5.90

    3.  Gus > 4.90

    Vs Swans...

    1.  Clarry > 4.57

    2.  Viney > 4.50

    3.  Tracc > 3.85 

    (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.

    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. 

    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!

    If Trac could kick he'd romp in a couple Brownlows.

    You can leave a comment here if you want to tell the AFL what you think of their medal. https://twitter.com/AFL/status/1706290651099488688

    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.

    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.

    Also, I dropped a crystal vase today and it broke into a million pieces. Should I blame Goody for that, too?

    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 🤔

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

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

    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. 

    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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
