How does Maxy get a measly 2 votes! Kozzy deserved the 10 for sure. But Max was the second (or third highest rated) player on the ground was he not? Goody not giving him the 4 to help him progress his ALFCA is grounds for dismissal.

Goodwin spoke pretty highly of Salem's game in the presser so thinking:

Goodwin - Pickett 5, Salem 4, Oliver 3, Gawn 2, Petracca 1 and Cox Pickett 5, Oliver 4, Petracca 3, Salem 2, Langdon 1. Agree that Gawn was better than a 2 vote game.

...and to push him past Xerri into greater AA certainty 🤨😄

So Cox doesn't want to admit that Gawn is better than him.

I thought that it was an interesting contest between Max and Grundy, actually. They got about the same number of taps, but Max was clearly better around the ground. But he didn't absolutely dominate Grundy in the way he has done in recent weeks.

Grundy got a 9.8 game rating from Champion Data. Gawn was 14.8. That's a pretty comprehensive flogging.

Don't worry about that - HTF is Max not in first position on the leader board followed by Kossi and Bowza at 2 and 3?

Agreed. I think Cox didn’t give any votes for Gawn !! He probably thinks Grundy broke even. Gawn was clearer better.

I don't think Gawn won any votes from passing his shot at goal to Melksham. Oliver was outstanding and deserved his 7 votes. It was pretty emotional when he kicked the goal, his teammates got around him and the Melbourne faithful have him a standing ovation. We are building something very special.

Exactly my take

Cox knows that if Max grabs an AFLCA gong this year, then it's going to be hard not to call Max the greatest ruck of the 21st century and relegating Cox to #2.
