I didn't see (and won't be seeing...) the game.

I'm interested to see if those who did saw any place for a Dee.

Goodwin's voting is eloquent.

even if double the votes were given out

I probably would have give the 5 to Waterman; he was immense and a great comeback story.  A lot of Fraser Gehrig about him.

Reid is something else!  Probably worth the 3 first rounders we could have offered and even the 2 and 3 Nth wouldn’t cough up.
Only injury can stop him imho.

Agreed, at least Goody didn't go down the Chris Scott route

They are an accurate reflection of the game.  Wouldn't have had a Demon anywhere near the top 6 or 7 players on the ground.

Absolutely not.

ANB, Chin and Kosi were OK, as was Salem in his first game back post hammy.

The rest had games they would want to erase from memory.

If Steven May has not punched a large hole in a wall post game I'd be surprised.

First match since Round 9 2020 where no Melbourne player polled any coaches votes.

Agree with those votes. West Coast have some top shelf players who played incredibly well on the day and our players were way off. I do find it a bit weird that Reid and Waterman can play like deadset the best 2 players in the competition, Darling, Kelly and McGovern can wind back the clock and Liam Ryan can rediscover his mojo ALL ON THE SAME NIGHT that Gawn, May, Petracca and co suddenly look like suburban footballers. That's footy I guess, and why "8 goal win minimum" style comments in the pregame threads rarely age well.

I wonder if Goodwin put into time into the above players? Probably not as he plays a systems game plan when most other coaches effectively use a /several tagging roles each week.

Shutdown Kelly or Reid 

Nullify McGovern 

Craig McRae did it vs eagles the prior week.  He had a strategy.  Goodwin had nothing.  
 

btw Goody could have given a one vote to a Dees player but that would be pretending to be one of the Scott brothers!!!

And yet Peter Ryan in The Age decided that Petracca was the fifth-best player on the ground and gave him 7 votes (with Reid, Waterman, Kelly and Barrass each getting 8 votes).

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
