McLean

Green

Bruce

Miller

Wheatley

Would you think Miller has had a better year than Jones or Wheatley? I know its your opinion, but I consider Jones has had greater influence than Miller.

1. Brock McLean (The barometer)

2. Bradford Green (Had him as trade bait in March, now I have naught but respect for his attitude and how he plays his football)

3. Nathan Jones (Some very good games, and some poor ones)

4. Paul Wheatley (has got stacks of the ball, and if Junior's two victories are anything to go by, quality of ball use is not necessarily a factor)

5. Cam Bruce (been inconspicuous, but consistent)

Garland a lay-down misere to win most-improved player.

Wonna a slightly less horizontal misere to be the best first year player. Morton looms as his main opposition in that regard, though he'll need to get back into the team.

In my unofficial B+F (based on a similar system to Bluey) the top 5 is something like

1. Green (has been leader all year)

2. Bruce (yeah i was surprised too. as bad as some of his games have been, he's also played some beautys)

3. McLean (will prob overtake Bruce and maybe even Green)

4. Jones

5. Wheatley

Bate is sneaking up, while Moloney and Davey would probably be up there if it weren't for injuries.

For those of you playing at home, Jamar is currently sitting on 10 votes, double his tally from the last 2 years.

Like your thought process, I'm now leaning towards dropping out Macca and putting in Wheats, he has played well this season. One of his better years - and I totally agree when you say quality of ball use is not necessarily a factor!

1: Green (has been our most consistent player and would have polled in every game)

2: McLean (whilst perhaps being our best performed player still yet has been extremely quiet on 2 or more occasions)

3: Davey ( has played some very good games i.e. Freo and North where I would expect him to take out full votes)

4: Miller( has been solid)

5: Dunn( Bailey will reward this kid with alot of votes)

Most Improved: Colin Garland

Best First Year Player: Aussie

Most Corageous: Brad Green(never would have picked that 5 years ago)

Best Team Player: Ben Holland

Most Dissapointing: Jeff White or Michael Newton

Sorry Neita 3000, I can't possibly fit Dunn into my top 5. Even Top 10! Michael newton has been injured, so thats a bit harsh. Agree with Garland.

Davey at 3 is a surprise, I would have Wonaemirri in front of him having kicked 19.3 compared to Davey's 9 goals this year.

Miller has been solid - correct. Green and McLean - I agree.

Michael newton has been injured, so thats a bit harsh. Agree with Garland.

Not all season. He has been a real disappointment. Gets dropped from the AFL after an insipid display and then gets suspended and then injured.

With MFC struggling up forward, the world was Newton's oyster and he is languishing in Sandy 2nds. Here is the coaches report on him from last week:

Michael had nine possessions, but didn’t play as well as he did in his last two games, where he displayed a lot more energy and attacked the ball much harder. Having said that, he still competed hard on a wet and windy day, and presented well at the ball. Another positive to come out of Michael’s performance was his defensive pressure, which will continue to be a focus for him

As in past years he should be tearing the Sandy 2nds apart with his ability. He is not interested at all in football and it shows.

Huge disappointment by any measure.

Well, he was listed in the paper for some time with 3-4 weeks next to his name, thats a fair block of the season. The report was disapponiting, yes. Didn't he have an interrupted pre-season? If your behind the eight-ball in fitness it does tell on the body especially for a young KPP.

How old is he?

Wasn't he part of the same draft as Lynden Dunn and Matthew Bate?

He was cherry ripe round 1. We have had 13 rounds this year and he is in Sandy 2nds for the past 3 weeks with a poor report card for his past week. He played capably in the last 10 rounds of 2007.

Either you're his Mum or you have not got a clue about Newton. I cant fathom why you would then refer to another poster's valid assessment as harsh. Strange.

I think I'm allowed an opinion. So if I think someone's post is harsh, I have a right to an opinion, the same as you referring to someone's assessment as valid of which I can't fathom.

Yes he did play the last 10 rounds last season. And looked impressive. So I have got some clue. Whats to say he isn't carrying a niggling injury he can't shake. Don't forget it is only a poor report card for 1 week. He's past two games prior were considered positive.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
