How did Neale get 3 votes in round 6 with 20 possessions while Cameron kicks 7.2 and gets 2 votes, Josh Kelly had 41 touches and coniglio 38, a certain ump must have had cash on Neale a fair way out how else do you explain thatย

Clean quick hands through traffic and fast ball movement.
I've been impressed.
Skills and confidence have jumped with last years flag.
Stay fit and they'll romp in another one I reckon.

Should swap their coaching dept with the mens.
Love the way they play.

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.ย 

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. Iโ€™m [censored] sick of them. The umpires have determined the outcome of games this year and illegitimately shaped the entire finals series. Itโ€™s beyond pathetic and as someone whoโ€™s attending 100s of live games since the 1980s, Iโ€™m thiiiiiiis close to giving up on the sport because of their [censored] incompetence and the rules being so vague etc. Stuff this

I had to check that Bont actually hadn't won a Brownlow, because I'd sworn he had.

You can add Max and Clarry to that list that should have won one.

Umpires hate him, what can you say.

ย 

Wouldn't it just be better if the umpires only have one task to do? They do a [censored] house job of umpiring, what makes anyone think they deserve to decide the brownlow?

And FWIW.
Reckon the girls should have a spot on the main board instead of getting shuffled off to the back board.

So the other anomalies here:

We have the best backline in the league and they only get 4 votes between them (8 at the very generous end if any of Gus's backline work counts).ย  Out of a total of around 90 votes.

Jake Lever gets 0 votes?

Jake Bowey 0 votes?

ย 

Seriously please take the voting off the umps.

You can understand one Ump getting it wrong but we have four talking together about the game.

That could have been Petraccas only real shot to win, Oliver missing, Daicos missed several games, Gulden and Butters will be a force next year.

The player that hid his Norm Smith looked embarrassed and didn't want to be there tonight.

I think he and everyone here would be much happier with another premiership medal around his neck.ย  Locky and Daicos can have all the Brownlows they want.

Off-topic I know, but honestly it would be so awesome and so appreciated if more Dees fans could come onboard for the girls. Even if youโ€™ve never paid much attention to the W comp you should consider it. Nowโ€™s the best time, too. This team is an absolute joy to watch. Theyโ€™re in scintillating form and the vibe at matches is always good. Thereโ€™s six H&A rounds remaining, even if you just attend only one, thatโ€™d be great. And for those who donโ€™t have W membership, a ticket is only $10.

It has.
Like 2 levels.

Weโ€™re a biased lot, arenโ€™t we? ๐Ÿ˜€

We criticise the votes on the one hand, saying umpires donโ€™t know what theyโ€™re doing. Then we use the votes as evidence that Viney should have been AA and that heโ€™s better than Parish. (Of course he is, but our arguments would fail year 11 critical thinking - if thereโ€™s still such a thing.)


I'm off again.
Bruce is about to fight.

Right???? Since its inception in 2017 the standard has improved with each and every season. But from last season to this current season the improvement is off the charts.

Itโ€™s great that people watch our matches on TV. Attending them (if possible) would be AMAZING! The girls truly appreciate the support.ย

See you there WCW!

Already pointed out I know, but some real discrepancies in the voting. e.g., Sheezel won North's B&F, but only 3 x 1 Brownlow votes.

Awesome! Every person who attends a W match is worth 50 people attending a menโ€™s match. I think. Maths is not my forte, but you get my point. ๐Ÿ˜Š

  • 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

    Itโ€™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 ย 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 measlyย 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?ย  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.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyโ€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
