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.

At 32 and having missed 5 games

Gawn > the rest 

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.

He's not actually 32 until December.

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

  • 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.
