Probably about right. Thought Trac might've snuck a vote or two in, but can't really complain with those results. Strange game.

Trac was absolutely pansted by Rowell early was horrible in the first half. Stepped up in the second half but not surprised he didn't get votes.

Trac got benched to start the second quarter because of how shit his first quarter was. Reckon that's why

Both in the top 5 yet again. Guns

Trac's certainly been closer to his best form over the last 3-4 weeks, albeit against some pretty dire opposition.

Hope he can keep it rolling against the better teams over the next 6-8 weeks

Incredible era we're seeing with those two. Oliver still criminally underrated by the wider footy media and the nuffs.

Sometimes I think we need to remind ourselves along with Max we are probably watching the best 3 demons most of us will ever see.

It feels so foreign to have the footy media and general public not bat an eyelid when Gawn, Trac and Oliver are put forward as top 10 players in the league, if not in the top 5 at certain times.

Melbourne went decades without an acknowledged top 10 or even top 20 player in the league.

We shouldn’t take it for granted and take the time to enjoy watching them each week.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not too long before we are back to no acknowledged league level champion players in the side for another decade.

I remember being so proud the year Junior Mcdonald made the AA side on the bench due to laying a million tackles.

Now I'd be furious if Trac or Clarry were placed on the bench.

Viney stiff. Having a really good year after a slow opening couple of rounds.

I’ve always said that Tom McDonald was twice the player Steven May is and now the facts back me up.

Yeah I have a sneaky Jack is leading the BnF right now

Wouldn't be surprised at all if Vines is leading. Been very good.

You would think the coaches votes would be pretty accurate so I would be highly surprised if that was the case

Gotta remember that the Bluey is that weird system where everyone gets votes, the ranking system is far less clear

valid point.

I could see it more if Viney was a tad closer on the coaches votes

Bluey system rewards consistency as every player has a chance to receive between 0 and 40 votes each game - four coaches giving every player 0-10 scores.

The AFL coaches award instead rewards outstanding performance or the most influential players. If both coaches give identical scores, the best player on the ground (10 votes) will get fives times the votes of the fifth best player on the ground (2 votes) and the sixth best players gets no votes.

Not to mention the coaches award is across both teams, and the B&F is obviously just Melbourne players.

The gap reflected in the coaches award voting is much larger than what we will see in the B&F. The coaches award is still going to be a pretty decent guide though to the order, especially at the top end as the gap at the moment is huge between Petracca and Oliver, then to the rest.

 

[Scythe94]

Don't think I had either Oliver or Hunter in my votes, lol.

 

[stEdy]

JHF deserved votes over Clarry and Hunter I reckon.

An yet people continue to point to these as if the coaches absolutely know the best

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

look at a players dream team points post game then vote. Its a complicated system.

 

[Tulip]

Petracca had a reasonable game, was very explosive. His kicking was shit hit the game was a slopfest and every mid lowered their colours on both sides. No idea how he got 8 votes though. Gus and Gawn - LOL

Yeah he was the only one getting our midfield going most of the time.

Stupid though as the defence was the only reason we were in it at all.
