Round 17 v Melbourne, MCG.

Sydney	2.1	4.4	6.6	10.9	69
Melbourne	8.2	12.4	20.8	22.10	142

BEST: Goodes, McGlynn, Hanneberry, White, Malceski, Jack, Kennedy

An unexpected flogging.
If the fans were flabbergasted, I bet the players weren't feeling too much better.
The swans had no answer to the young rampaging Demons ably led by Green Up forward.
Not only did the Dees mark everything in site, they kicked for goal with great accuracy.
The swans were run ragged, and wer left in the Melbourne players wake as any foraward foray was sent back with avengance. A game we all would like to forget.

Goodes kicked 4, White 3.
Dees by 73.

9-8-0.

Round 18 v Geelong, ANZ.

Sydney	3.7	4.12	5.16	9.18	72
Geelong	5.1	10.1	18.3	20.5	125

BEST: Goodes, Mattner, Jack, Mumford, Richards, Kennelly

After last week the swans came out fired up. However, no one would count on the accuracy of the Cats. 16 shots (swans) to 11 at half time, but the cats led comfortably. After half time the Cats put on a show led by the enigmatic Johnson, and our chief destroyer Ablett, kicking 8 goals to 1, to put the game beyond doubt. The swans were much more committed, but could not over come the force that is the Cats. The season now in the balance.


Goodes 3 goals, Jude 2.
Cats by 53

Goodes streaks away to a large lead. Will it be enough to stop anyone catching him?

No, no races, just lazing around on a wet Tuesday.

Who keeps voting for Goodes?

Everyone, obviously.

It has been said lots that the coaching staff are really hard on Goodes. We just see a bloke playing well..we don't know what his brief is so hence the big disparity between the coaches' votes and the experts'.

That, but also he is very noticeable on the ground. So when he has a good game it may be more obvious than when others have good games. It is consistent with his polling record in the Brownlow.

I don't think I gave him too many votes (Scott will probably look at his list and see I did vote a for him a lot and I have just forgotten), especially at this time of the year.
And looking at the number of voters and the spread over players those votes cover it wouldn't take too many 1's to get him the points each round.
Annie's 3 plus another few 3's = 15 points
a number of 2's, say 7 = 14 points
and 15 x 1's = 15
Thats' 44 points out of a total 222, almost 20% of the points. Leaving 80% to be spread across 13 players.
