Demonland Player of The Year


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Bartram is Simon Godfrey reincarnated. Did a great job nulifying Harvey's influence, but gee his skills are shocking.

Thought PJ's ruckwork was pretty good today. Held his own and looked far more comfortable than Spencer in the guts. But yes, both his (and Spencer's) efforts in the last qtr to go with McIntosh when he pushed forward were pretty disappointing.

PJ had the job of following McIntosh and didnt. Spencer in his first game is more value that a 200cm rover whose disposal was iffy and is wooden below his knees

My best

6- Pettard (should have finished with 4 goals, and was good up forward)

5- Moloney (would have been my best player had he not handballed so much)

4- Bartrum (i know his skills weren't great, but his job today was to negate Harvey. And he kept him to 16 touches and no effectiveness)

3- CHeney (played the sweeping role effectively. Only a slight questio on his decision making)

2- McDonald (the general in the guts)

1-Frawley - (plenty of the ball from the backline- gonna get better)

6. Moloney - starting to look like the form he had at the cats 29 touches & 5 tackles

5. Green -gutsy. always put the body on the line. was placed in the forward line in the last qtr, but it didnt come that way too often. 18 touches

4. Cheney - for a first gameer, he had poise, an a good footy brain. he will be a star of the future if he keeps this up. his first opponent was Wells. 22 touches 7 marks 91% effective 3 -1%ers and the only contested mark for the team!

3. Jones - instead of just making packs, he actually got the ball out and made clearances. 23 touches 78% effective

2. Bruce - 22 touches 77% effective. same old Cam.

1. McDonald 23 touches only 65 % effective. had a chance to kick his first "Captains goal" from 30m on and missed.

Honourable mensions the whole back line. there only kids and it was Rivers first game in about 8 months (and Mclean). they will soon be a force to recon with. Now if we onlt had a forwad line that looked the same!

Hardly a basis to get a vote at all. He struggled today and made a number of crucial errors. His stats bear that out.

I do agree some what but i realy would have stoped at 5 votes. We had some other good contributers at times and then faded. We scored 1point fron the 22 min mark of the 3rd to the 20 min mark of the last, another quarter fade out like the practice matches. It was mostly skill errors that let us down. Whilst dissapointed in loosing, Nth was a top 4 side for most of last year. we will get better. Just wait till we see Watts as a target in the games and years to come. I was still all in all happy what i saw. Just a thought when was the last round 1 game that didnt have the names of Neitz, White, Yze or Robbo in the line up?

The leader board after Round 1:

11.941 Brent Moloney

8.624 Kyle Cheney

6.634 Ricky Petterd

5.970 Nathan Jones

1.990 James Frawley Neville Jetta

1.327 Clint Bartram Brad Green Matthew Warnock

0.663 Paul Johnson

I understand that taking 3 random sets of votes is fair, but it's a pity that one of those 3 sets of votes happened to be the only one that had Johnson, who really doesn't deserve anything for his work yesterday.

    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.
