I felt like a barely noticed Cerra all game. Pretty unassuming fella.

Both he and McKercher getting BOG's our last 2 games is a surprise. Unless the coaches couldn't split them and went to the stats I'm just unsure how it happened. I thought Hewett was clear and TDK was up there but obviously the coaches don't agree with me regarding the latter.

Who the f*ck os Binns?

I felt like a barely noticed Cerra all game. Pretty unassuming fella.

Looked to me like he spent all game picking up our fumbles and passing off to teammates.

 

[fidstar]

McCarthy with as many votes as Kelly, Duggan, Cole, Hunt, Allen, Flynn, Maric and Williams combined.

Out of interest, Simpson touched on how they did the coaches votes under his tenure

Said the club analysts would put together a list of the highest rated players for the game, then give that list to the assistant coaches for their views and then there’d be a final shortlist on the whiteboard prior to match review on the weekend

They’d discuss it for 30 seconds (his words) then send it off. Was the first thing they did because the AFL needed it

Said that they didn’t not take it seriously but also they didn’t devote much time to it as there were more important things to do

Yep agree - they’re overrated.

Weird split of votes with Naicos getting 6 votes and 4 other players getting 5 - including Baker and Hough

18 - Baker
11 - Graham
10 - Hough
6 - Ryan, Hewett
5 - Edwards, Reid
3 - Cripps
1 - Kelly, Waterman, McGovern, Ginbey, McCarthy

Baker increases his lead and Hough moves into third

And for the first time this year our team total (69) is higher than the individual leader - Bailey Smith

What did I miss with Perryman. What did he do to get 5 votes? Didn't even notice him

 

[Keys]

My best guess at the votes is two players got 5 and 0, two other players got 4 and 1. Daicos got both 3’s and Cameron and Howe got a 2 each

 

[Ochre]

As someone on twitters pointed out, it's probably meant to be 2x 5 votes for Pendles, not 5 to him and 5 to Perryman

 

[squashface]

Ah yes Perryman with his 13 invisible disposals

 

[DanWCE]

I thought Pendles was BOG for them so that does make sense

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Haha, I wonder which coach accidentally gave votes to Perryman.

 

[Bender_]

Haha, I wonder which coach accidentally gave votes to Perryman.

One of the Collingwood coaches thought they were voting for Mundy.

 

[Elite Pete]

Apparently happened a couple of weeks ago in an Adelaide game too. Keane and Keays got mixed up. What coach has the fat fingers

 

[ioppolo]

Just adds to the prestige of the award imo.

They might as well get the votes done after the teams do a review of the game and post the votes later in the week

 

[WCErevival]

Maybe they gave votes to Perryman for getting ragdolled by Williams. Or was it Pendlebury

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Clearly the Perryman votes were intended for Harry 'Best On' Edwards. JFC.

 

[Alesana]

Do the coaches get reported too?

 

[triplegee]

The Perryman error has been corrected...

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Unsurprisingly no votes for our players this week.
