Laird getting 16 tackles to ago along with his 27 touches probably helped his cause there.
I'm surprised Milera didn't get a vote, I thought he was great. Can't argue with the top 3 though.

Lots of talk about how good Charlie was. I don't reckon Michalanney lowered his colours. Charlie 3 possessions in 1st half for 2 goals. 5 possessions in 2nd half for 2 goals. Michalanney controlled him for much of the match. A couple of Charlie's goals were pure luck. Not saying he's not a great small forward, just that our bloke is hard-done-by
Charlie is probably the best small forward in the competition. A player like Michalanney can lock him down for 95% of the match and he can still get four goals. Just a freak of a player.
The only time I remember Michalanney being straight-up beaten by Charlie was when he lost his footing late in the game and Charlie was able to take the mark. I think he might have sprayed the kick though.

Zac Bailey. Hmmm, I wouldn't have had him in my votes. 25 touches, 0.2, 5 tackles, 5 clearances10 Rory Laird (ADEL)

Feel like Benny Keays had a very good case for that 1 voter. 28 touches, 1.2, 9 tackles, 6 clearances
Probably had a fairly good case for Lachie Neales 2 votes TBH.
Thought Keays might get a vote - hasn't had any votes this year, after getting coaches votes in 7 games last year.
Interesting element of the wider spread of players performing well actually - we've had 17 players get coaches' votes in the first half of the year, which is one short of the same number of players who picked up votes in our whole 2022 season. The only regular selections who haven't picked up a vote so far in 2023 are Keays, Soligo, Sholl, Hinge, Murray and Butts. Guys like Thilthorpe, Jones, McHenry, Murphy and Pedlar have got votes this year but not last.
Rankine's got votes 5 times now, same as Laird and one more than Walker. All are trailing Dawson who now has votes in 7 out of 11 games.

The Bailey one is plain ridiculous. He had zero influence, just a couple of flashy runs. Both sides had other players better than him.

Is that right? Is that even possible? The field umpire is not in a position to adjudicate line calls. Can they overrule goal-line calls?
Probably just a case of field umpire blowing the whistle and calling a mark and the boundary umpire not bothering to argue

Was a great moment, crowd stood and applauded, a standing ovation because we didn't conceed in the last 30 seconds. You're right the cheer was louder than the final siren. The crowd was so amped in that 3rd quarter.
The loudest Roar was the Pedlar Goal in the last! Every body around was jumping out their seats and celebrating.
Honestly can't decide.... Considering the moment in the game it happened Rachele's is ahead slightly but both phenomenal goals!

Hopefully our fans don’t do what the umps do to Trac/Oliver in Brownlow voting and split the votes too evenly so that neither wins
geez Charlie kicks 4 goals and only gets 1 vote. And in the paper today (Herald Sun) they had Neale as 2nd best on ground10 Rory Laird (ADEL)

Too Sweet
Do they?
It's not like he's won the Award. He's not currently in the top 20 leaderboard, and finished 17th last year.
I think Pickett's goal is the best goal so. Don't have problem with any one winning this weekHopefully our fans don’t do what the umps do to Trac/Oliver in Brownlow voting and split the votes too evenly so that neither wins

Nup.. no way.
Rankine snapping on that angle on your non preferred running towards the boundary with the inside of your boot is way more difficult than the rach one.. which was on his preferred and just relies on him dropping the ball perfectly onto his boot whilst facing the goals..

Well 17th last year put him in the top 3% of players to pull on a jumper. Suggests the comp rates him pretty highly
Not quite 1 player from each other club was considered better than him?

For comparisons sake, Dawson is only 7 votes shy of what Laird tallied for the season last year in that 17th place finish.
Not sure that this is the evidence that he's regarded as a league elite that people might want it to be.

Would have gotten 5 from me
Name another player who can mark it in row 6 and convince the umpire it was a mark.
Special talent!
They forgot one although not really a side step (fend off on the wing).
Laird was easy bog with Dawson not far behind. Votes pretty good except for Bailey imo
That's despite Dawson's mistakes.

And Rankine's goal harder than Racheles. He literally threw it on his left as soon as he got it and was running towards the boundary. Rachele had a bit more time and was running towards goal.
