I haven't actually, been on the Matcha 🍵 all day for the big match.. ah!

We'll be on the beers later.

Should I buy one every time Wiz scores or Olly scores?
Did you end up enjoying it? Where are you and Fadge watching the Collingwood/Hawthorn grand final?

Nice to see Dylan Moore get some coaches votes. He put his neck out and had a solid hit out.
 
So, by my count, the players still in contention to win the 2025 Gary Ayres Award:

18 votes - Jai Newcombe
13 votes - Will Ashcroft, Hugh McCluggage
12 votes - Harris Andrews
11 votes - Mark Blicavs
10 votes - Patrick Dangerfield
9 votes - Ollie Dempsey
8 votes - Josh Dunkley
6 votes - Bailey Smith
4 votes - Tom Atkins, Zac Bailey, Max Holmes, Gryan Miers

I'd suspect two or three on that list will catch Newcombe's tally, so I think that those on four votes would be pretty long odds to get the perfect score to catch and overtake Newcombe, without another ahead of them on the list getting the handful or so of votes they need to catch and overtake them.

It's much less likely someone will catch Newcombe if Geelong win.

Correct. Pre-weighting:

The 4-voters need a a maximum 10.

Smith needs 8 to tie and 9 to win outright.

Dempsey needs 6 to tie and 7 to win outright.

Dangerfield needs 6 to win.

Blicavs needs 5 to win.

Andrews needs 4 to tie and 5 to win.

Washcroft and McCluggage need 4 to win.

Obviously there could be combinations of the above that give more joint winners or push the winning total higher.
 
Will Ashcroft - 2025 Gary Ayres winner.

Congrats. Doing it when it truly matters most which is above Home & Away matches. Finals is a different league.
