Gawn wins the AFL Coaches Award.

[Donny]

Seven Richmond players notched between 98 and 110 AF Points. Martin and Cotchin were amonst them.

Joel Selwood could get the 10 for Geelong.

[Donny]

Beamer had another big game. 40 disposals.

[Donny]

Mitchell unlikely to draw votes.

Gawn will be in the votes.

[Donny]

Awaiting the votes.

Max Gawn could well be the new leader. Before this round, he sat just 5 votes behind Cripps and he was next best to Oliver in the Dees win over Freo.

Curent leader, Patrick Cripps had a reasonably good game but 10 players received more AF points in Brisbane's mauling.

Fyfe didn't play and Mitchell was well down the list, with 13 players racking up points ahead of him.

Sidey could move into the top 3.

But Donny Langdon hasn't received a vote so might as well just gone with the 17 who have and been a player short
Same result as Langdon being in the team is still a player short 😂😂😂

You wont admit this, but i'll bet you anything you have a long history of criticizing Nick Maxwell until 2010. Probably also complained for 18 months that Leigh Brown was a spud. Your obsession with knocking Langdon is Blaironian in proportion. Its really tiring.....

[qldmagpie67]

I was actually and still am a Maxy fan go check the Buckley coaching spread about a week ago will varify that
Leigh Brown was a solider not overly gifted but a good soldier
As for knocking Langdon I state nothing but facts
Show me where he's received a coaches vote ?

Do the maths

He's played 12 games this season coaches give 5 votes each time X 2 coaches so that's 120 chances for a coach to actually think he's done even a half decent job and deserves recognition
17 other magpies have received votes
If you want to see the coaches real thoughts on Langdon go to 12 minutes remaining in the last term when Langdon misses a kick to Mayne by 15m under no pressure when the game was in the balance
The cameras flash to the coaches box where a normal unemotional coach leans back in his seat and clearly mouth the words
"He's f&$king useless or hopeless"
Check it out it's clear as clear can be

I checked out the video, he missed by about 1 metre (still a shit kick) not 15. 3-4 metres to the inside and Mayne was off.

Bucks definitely dropped the F bomb while leaning back, but my lip reading skills aren't good enough to interpret the rest.

Overall, you may just be seeing what you want to see.

[Pies4shaw]

He was expressing disbelief about how slowly Mayne moved towards the ball. Watch again and you’ll see him say “He’s motionless!”

If you think being in the top 5 players on the ground is the criterion for assessing whether someone has “done even a half decent job”, you should get a different hobby. Sidebottom didn’t get a vote and he had 27 disposals and kicked 2 goals - I don’t think anyone in their right mind would contend that he didn’t do “a half decent job”.

[RudeBoy]

Reckon you need to ease up a bit QM67. I like your passion mate, but sometimes we all need to be careful what we post.

Langdon is clearly in our best 22, evidenced by the fact he has never (to my knowledge) been dropped by Bucks. To suggest that Bucks considers him to be "fu*@ing useless" is therefore quite fanciful.

You don't have to think he's a great player, but as a regular senior player in our team Langdon deserves a bit of respect from all Magpie fans in my book.
