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.

I guess.

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.

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
