    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!

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

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
