This award is perhaps one of the most biased voting systems ever … with coaches often giving their players votes in preference to any “objective” review. 

Giants win by 3 points with a goal in the very last minute 

Melbourne v Greater Western Sydney

10 Toby Greene (GWS) 5,5
6 Tom Green (GWS). 3,3 
6 Christian Petracca (MELB) 2,4
5 Finn Callaghan (GWS)  4,1
2 Max Gawn (MELB) 0,2
1 Jake Lever (MELB) 1,0

KINGSLEY IS JOKING !! 5 Toby 4 Callaghan 3 Green 2 Trac 1 Lever 

Goody (too kind) 5 Toby 4 Trac 3 Green 2 Gawn 1 Callaghan 

and … in a see sawing match that could have gone either way as well … Lions won by 4 points 

Sydney v Brisbane

9 Josh Dunkley (BL)
8 Zac Bailey (BL)
4 James Jordon (SYD)
4 Darcy Wilmot (BL)
3 Jarrod Berry (BL)
2 Dayne Zorko (BL)

FAGAN IS JOKING !!!! And someone the bias needed to Dean Cox !!

I thought Callaghan was better than Green but Toby smashed us really missed McVee. I think they did have the best 2 to 3 players on the ground but then we had the next 4 to 5 players on the ground.

Petty was far more better then Lever...

Toby kicked at least 1 on Petty and Petty was on him when he set up 1-2 others 

Petty was actually pretty average apart from his intercept work.

Toby Greene win them the game. deserved the 10 votes

Is goody often too nice to the opponent? 

I feel like the most biased coaches are Kingsley and Chris Scott.

And Luke Beveridge

I know that I've raised this before, but do we actually know how each coach voted or just the total votes for the match?

@Lucifers Hero your input please.

We can only know the shape of the votes as per the opening post.  As to which coach voted a certain way is a guess.

 

In this case the shape of the votes is correct but the attributed votes to Kingsley/Goodwin could be the other way round with no favoritism or leniency.

I notice the coaches gave the same votes to Greene (5) and Green(3) and both coaches gave votes to Callaghan and Trac.   For mine that is a very similar view of the game.

  • Demonland changed the title to 2025 COACHES VOTES: Round 01

Based on Kingsley's press conference I think he gave Gawn votes.  He was pretty impressed with Max's game.  Goody not voting as highly for Gawn as the opposition coaches has been a common theme and likely explains his runner up place in the Bluey last year.

I operate on the assumption that if there is any bias in the voting, it's likely to be toward the opposition team, with coaches more inclined to mark their own players more harshly.

Pies supporters staggered at this 

Collingwood v Port Adelaide

9 Dan Houston (COLL)
7 Steele Sidebottom (COLL)
5 Daniel McStay (COLL)
5 Nick Daicos (COLL)
2 Connor Rozee (PORT)
1 Patrick Lipinski (COLL)
1 Tim Membrey (COLL)

…allegedly McRae gave N.Daicos 5 and Houston 4.  His bias is unhinged !!! Definitely not BOG and would’ve been lucky to squeak a vote or two. 
Btw Hinkley gave Daicos ZERO !!

In other words, nobody really knows and it's all just guesswork.

Speculated by many … 

McRae. 5 N Daicos 4 Houston 3 Sidebottom 2 McStay 1 Membrey 

Hinkley. 5 Houston 4 Sidebottom 3 McStay 2 Rozee 1 Lipinski 

Maybe the AFL should show what we’re each coach’s votes !!!

Both McStay and Daicos received 5 votes and the above assumes it was Daicos 5/0 and McStay 2/3 but could have been the opposite ie

Coach 1.     5 McStay 4 Houston 3 Sidebottom 2 Daicos 1 Membrey 

Coach 2.    5 Houston 4 Sidebottom 3 Daicos 2 Rozee 1 Lipinski 

According to the stats (which I know aren't teh be all, end all),  McStay had a phenomenal game so I can see the 5/0 scenario.    It is anyone's guess which coach was McRae or Hinkley - I could make a case either way.   It is also anyone's guess the mix for McStay and Daicos 5 votes.

 

Coll fans are too blind to see any sort of common sense let alone be rational.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
