So whoever gave Merrett 3 votes also gave Ridley 1 vote.

One of the coaches only gave one vote to an Essendon player.....

So whoever gave Merrett 3 votes also gave Ridley 1 vote.

One of the coaches didn't give votes to any Essendon players at all.....

You’d think in a game decided by under a goal the votes might have been more evenly split

It's all too complicated for me, how do you work that out?

It's all too complicated for me, how do you work that out?

Each coach does a 5-4-3-2-1.

4 votes for Zach could be 4 votes from one coach, 3 votes from one and 1 from the other, or 2 votes from each coach.

Since Parker got 10 from both coaches, Reid must have got 4 votes from both coaches as 5+3 doesn't work with the 5 votes already used on Parker. So 4 votes by itself is also ruled out for Zach with both coaches giving 4 votes to Reid.

Ridley can't have been given anything other than 1 vote by one coach, which means Mills must have been given 2 votes from one coach as 1+1 doesn't work, while Kennedy has the same reasoning and got 2 votes from the other coach. That also means 2+2 doesn't work for Zach.

So that leaves 3+1 for Zach.

Whichever coach used 1 vote for Zach, can't have used 1 vote for Ridley. Therefore whoever did 3 votes for Zach must also have given 1 vote to Ridley.

(And since he's the only one I've missed, Hickey must be a straight 3 votes from one coach, as it can't be 2+1 with those votes already used.)

So one coach did:

5 Parker
4 Reid
3 Merrett
2 Mills or Kennedy
1 Ridley

The other coach:

5 Parker
4 Reid
3 Hickey
2 Kennedy or Mills
1 Merrett

And that therefore means that my original statement is wrong, both coaches gave Essendon players votes, but one only gave 1 vote out of 15 to an Essendon player, while the other recognised two players using 4 votes between the two of them.

You’d think in a game decided by under a goal the votes might have been more evenly split

Yup
