I have developed a different take on the All Australian selection. And as such here are my arguments for Simon Goodwin being the AFL 2023 CotY.

1. We have after the H+A season the equal best defensive/offensive metrics, i.e. the best balance.

2. We don't have a single defender or true forward listed in the AA.

3. In the last 3 years have been the only team to be in the 8 the whole time.

4. Simon has remained calm in the face of egregious personal attacks

5. Across his journey he has adapted and evolved in a number of areas, selection, tactics, and is renowned for empowering those around him (Burgess feedback)

6. Remained focused on the team first and not let media narratives detail him.

Of course I get that Lyon and Kingsley have had good years, (even Voss (vomit at saying anything nice about Carlton) deserves some credit for turning that self loving ship/t of a club around), but the consistency Goodwin shows should have universal recognition.  So glad he got the contract extension btw.

    In 1972, Chinese premier Zhou Enlai was asked about the impact of the French Revolution. "Too early to say," he replied.

    If GWS or St. Kilda make it to a preliminary final, their bloke surely is CoTY.

    Our bloke is CoTY when we [censored] the Filth in the granny.

    All good points, except his name doesn’t have ,Craig McCrae’ in it.

    It's a strange one. 

    Goodwin, Fagan and McRae have taken top 4 lists to the top 4 so about par 

    Ross Lyon has done well with an awful list, Kingsley has exceeded expectations 

    Michael Voss has a ferarri and just worked out how to put it into gear after almost driving it off a cliff

    Nicks has done a nice job with the Adelaide list and I reckon should be in the discussion

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
