And as I posted in another thread, Max now the highest polling ruck of the season.  7 votes ahead of English.

AA again, even missing 4-5 games.

Best ruck in AFL.


Geez, Trac really could have taken the lead in the last fortnight with none of his competition polling. Still time for him though with a good finish to the H&A season. 

If Max continues this form, you seriously have to ask the question on him and AA 7th jacket dont you? Logic dictates that its the average of performances across the season, but surely there is an aspect of who is actually the best and most impactful at the time of selection. Tim English, his nearest rival, doesn't have nowhere near the same impact on games and is more of a stats accumulator. 

I'm sure the selectors will find a way to get Buddy or Hawkins in and yet will elect to ignore this great man's amazing run in the last month.

Touk deserves 12 votes. 10 for his game, and 2 for grabbing Zorko by his teeny tiny balls.

One extra per nut.

I remember Brendan McCartney's advice to Clarry on his debut was "keep it simple. See ball, get ball."

Maybe the Suns coaching assistants preach the same mantra.

Thanks 'Jaded', that's my first and only big laugh of the day...

You're a microcosm Jaded. Much concern for the players' safety in general but also tremendous hatred for Zorko's tiny balls.

Zorko is an eye gouging little [censored]. Him complaining that someone did him wrong on the field is both ironic and hilarious. 
I wish him and his tiny balls all the best going forward. 
Thoughts and prayers are with his wife.

Just like the Brownlow, the lion's share of votes go to the midfielders.  Nary a defender in sight.

with scores of 130 and 98 it was hardly a day for defenders

still, your point stands

You are right on the money. How about Zorko moaning to the media about it afterwards in a similar fashion to last year?

Just on Touk though he very much deserved maximum votes. His job on Lachie Neale was the best I've seen this year on any star mid, kept him to 17 touches and got 29 for himself. A massive part of their win and how they have missed him dearly.

touk said he thought he grabbed a button on his shortd, couldn't have been his balls because it was so tiny

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
