Resource AFLCA NM votes 2026

[Friday Night Lights]

I’m always curious about our club’s leaderboard for the Coaches Association votes as it doesn’t seem to be published with any regularity. So I’ve decided to compile them here for easy viewing.

I’ll try and update the player tallies each week.

Season so far:







Davies-Uniacke 15
O’Sullivan 11
Parker 11
Comben 10
Daniel 10
Xerri 10
Sheezel 9
Stephens 7
Larkey 5
McKercher 5
Trembath 5
Simpkin 4
Pink 1

Sheezel 19

Parker 11
Comben 10
Daniel 10
McKercher 10
Xerri 10
Curtis 8
Stephens 7
Larkey 5
Trembath 5
Zurhaar 5
Simpkin 4
Pink 1
Wardlaw 1

 

[King Corey]

Coaches pretty much aligned until the 1 votes.

Commiserations to Kako and the fact Brad couldn't work in a vote for him in a North vs Richmond game.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

16 players have polled for us now. Seems good without knowing how it compares to other teams.

 

[Onihr]

I’ll assume Toby got vote(s) from Clarko in the Essendon game.

Does that mean Toby got ‘dropped’ one game later?

Would have been nice to tag Ash Clarko

It's a real shit for brains decision.

I'm curious why we did this.

Couldn’t as clarko out in his bored before the match

The argument in previous years has we have 4 on the bench and by being too negative we take away from our strenghths bla, bla, bla.

There are 5 donkeys sitting on the interchange at any one time. You can 100% sacrifice 1 of them to go and watch the best player on the opposition.
FOS to Callaghan was a given. Ash?
9 games ago we did this to perfection. 9 games.

We effectively had Powell running around doing cardio yesterday.

We are so invested in this season and this form trajectory we are on, that the simplest and most minor of calls ends up being scrutinised.

Clarko messed this up at selection. In a game decided by a goal - sometimes you aren't afforded mistakes and slip ups.

Big X with 3 less games. What an animal he is. That tackle on Guthrie was worth 2 votes alone. Powell and others could help the cause by standing up in a defeat.

On a games played basis X would be in top 5 or so across the comp - Petracca probably leading it.

This vote tally really does show how far away X is as our best player - followed by Sheez with LDU rounding out the top 3.

Imagine if the coaches came up with a strategy to tag their 2 best players out of the game……
