    This is what I get for cut and pasting from the AFLW website! I shouldn't have trusted them to have it up to date...the day before the event. Sigh!

    Kate, Tyla and Maevo made AA.

    The blazers DO NOT match the dresses.

    Kate got AA vice captain. Garner got captain

    I'm guessing Gillard missed out due to missing the start of the year? Whoever got a defender position instead of her must be amazing.

    Love the recognition for Maevo, Hanksy and Kate. Deserved nominees and Kate as VC.

    They were stars for Dees this year having outstanding seasons. 🌟🌟🌟

    But flabbergasted that the AA selectors chose Brisbane Irish import Liv Dunne. Meggs is confounded they could even consider her, there are numerous alternative better defenders.

    Have never rated Dunne who averages less than 10 disposals a game.

    Meggs does not understand the love.

    But very happy for someone to jump on and explain.

    The AA team. I see you back there, Tyla! 🤣

    Also credit to whichever player is the first to wear a black (navy?) outfit with green trim, presumptuously, to match the AA jacket.

    Tyla’s third place is a huge achievement when you consider she plays in the same team as Kate.

    Final leaderboard:

    Riddell 23

    G.Prespakis 20

    Hanks 18

    Roberts 17

    Gardiner 15

    Garner 15

    Bowers 13

    Nanscawen 13

    M.Scholz 12

    Congrats to Riddell, honestly could have polled higher.

    Biggest congrats to Tyla, who did some hard yards this year! Funnily enough, she's a better player with Liv in there too but would get fewer votes as a result - and wouldn't mind a bit I'm sure.

    Tyla had a sensational year and her 3rd place cements her as one of the best in the league. She’s a star ⭐️

    The umpires clearly confused Purcell and Pisano in Round 1. Absolutely farcical.

    Are you saying you didn't rate Pisano's eight disposal, two behind game? Only the 34 touches, 8 tackles, 8 clearances and a goal for Purcell.

    Look, I know umpires can't look at the stats but 50% of her disposals hit a target so maybe I'm being a bit harsh and they can tell the difference between two players whose surname starts with the same letters and are one number apart.

    There was a similar fiasco in 2018 when Emma Humphries got three votes for this game, and she was also jumper #3 so maybe it's a slow-burning number-related conspiracy.

    I was wondering if this could have beeen an admin error rather than umpiring incompetence. I say that because none of the votes in Round 1 make sense. The Dogs' ruck was one of the few winners on the day and Pearce (2 votes) had fewer hitouts than Georgia Campbell. Chaplin (3 votes) didn't have a particularly noteworthy game. None of these players got coaches' votes.

    I don't think umpire votes should match media, coaches or a general consensus, but those three players all seem very odd.

    The problem with the above theory, though, is the only error I can imagine is swapping one game for another, and I can't think of one that's an obvious exchange. The best game Pisano played was Round 6 against West Coast. Zanker kicked 5. Zanker got 3 votes for that game.

    Bizarre.

    Given the standard of umpiring in the AFLW, it would be highly optimistic to expect their vote giving to be any more fathomable than their on ground decision making.

    For mine, umpiring is the number one issue the AFLW has to address.

    Despite the best efforts of the players and coaches, the umpiring is too often turning games into a farce

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
