Rivers I thought was a sneaky chance for top 5. Love May, I hope they put his speech up on the website un-edited. Oliver I thought may have snuck in for top 10 but missed too much footy. Will be interested to see the whole votes.

Did I mention I love May?

Oh that's some recognition then.  Nice

Not really. He missed 10 games. Except Gawn, the rest of the top 10 barley missed a game. 
Because every player gets a vote for every game, missing many games makes it impossible to do well. 

do they give votes for finals? if so that explains it. of his 15 games he was easily clear on disposals

not sure if the award should reward durability that much. but anyway well done all

Don’t worry Tom Morris is already preparing the headline 

“Cocky Demons Think Pies Are No Good. May last seen at Entrecôte punching Maynard”.

Always has.  Which is the sole reason Robbie Flower only won one B&F.

Instead of about 10.

strange format. i reckon it’s better to reward the best player not the least injured

If Kozzi didn’t get suspended he could have easily finished 3rd!

May was superb.

easy to critique Binman. how did you go with your predictions?

Not going to lie. I wanted Jack to win. Loved how McVee finished top 10. 

Kozzie bit surprised with his position.

Not sure if it was a pointed message about culture but I think everyone in the room should have got the message.

Steven may. Ha ha. Wait until the pies fans find out what he said. Sadly they're having the last laugh

I think May came fifth because of his two amazing finals performances.

Goody made a note to say he played the best finals game he’s ever seen. Obviously in relation to his game against Carlton which was flawless. 
High praise from a coach who has seen Trac in a grand final.

if Flower only won one i reckon the format might need to change the format. Is N Jones 3 times a better player?

Maysie speaking his heart and mind. 😍

Judd McVee top 10 BnF - what a 🌟

Trent Rivers calling the backline the "mens department"  🫣

A clear winner in Trac

A clear second in Vines

then 30 points separating 3rd and 10th

and where is Hunter?!

I do love how BnFs value defenders though.

You’re kidding aren’t you? I’m genuinely amazed he finished top 10.

But is someone really the best player for the season when they miss almost half the year? Where should the line be drawn? Get 60 possessions and kick 10 in round 1 then miss the rest of the season with injury? Maybe a team's best player on paper, but not the best player for the team over that season I'd suggest.

That said, regarding the Flower winning only 1 matter I'd agree there's scope maybe to tweak the scoring system.

At 40 votes per game maximum (4 coaches each give a rating for each player out of 10), there was only one game between 3rd and 10th this year. Unbelievably even season.

That’s because you genuinely don’t know what role he’s being asked to play every week. 
Half this site thinks ANB is a liability but he came 6th. Go figure. 

The one set of awards you can’t complain about is the B&F. Our coaches give very specific votes for very nuanced things that we have no idea about.

not kidding. just being factual. he was 12 points off 3rd

I think Pickett's high rating from the coaches should be a good indication that he is under instructions to fly for marks in the forward line.

 

It's a defensive tactic designed to bring the ball to ground and prevent an intercept mark, and he does it consistently well, rarely giving away a free kick.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
