Forgot about Martin. Anthony played well and won the duel, but Martin deserves an honorable mention. Took some good marks under extreme pressure and looks like he is using to use his size more in contests. A promising prospect.

What a stupid, completely UNRELIABLE and totally INACCURATE system! As I understand it each week just 3 posters votes are selected at RANDOM ( we hope it really is) and that is how the leader board is decided. So player A could receive 6 votes from 6 different posters and not be randomly selected thus receiving zero votes. A real cowboy arrangement. Surely a much more accurate and fair system would be to put a time limit on voting, say 6 hours after the game and count ALL THOSE who have bothered to vote in that period. No wonder last year's B&F didn't match up with DEMONLAND voting.

Jeeze have a cry bobby, it's all a bit of fun. No need to get so worked up a bout it. Personally, i think that leaderboard is pretty spot on after our first two games.

I'm not crying mate! If it's only for fun why have it then? Do you not think my suggestion would be fairer and more accurate?

Didn't see SYLVIA'S name there either. Maybe HE ISN"T GOOD ENOUGH! Didn't kick the 7 goals you predicted either. Maybe you meant 7 goals for the season! Have a look at our best players on the MFC website. You may be enlightened!

Sylvia was junk.

I am prepared to admit that.

I always call it fairly.

Bobby, I take a bit of offense with what your suggesting here. What I did in fact was I wrote the names of those who put in their selections (actually it was 6 hours after the game) eliminated those whose votes were accepted lat week and drew out the names Titan Uranus, Morton2Watts and CarnDees (totally at random). I used their votes and came up with the following totals for the game:

17 Davey

15 Warnock

9 Green

8 Morton

6 Jones

5 Moloney

2 Rivers

1 Miller

Their numbers were then multiplied by the team's percentage of the day to provide the votes for the game. Looking at the votes of the experts from the media, these don't appear too far off to me. Our own Oracle went with:

Davey Warnock Bruce Green Miller Jones Morton

Only Cameron Bruce missed out there although he did get named as playing well (in the first half at least) in the Oracle's article.

The only time I dismiss anybody's votes is when I omit the voters who have had votes accepted in the past four rounds (please keep putting yours in anyway folks), if they're completely stupid or they're not done on a 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 basis. It takes time to compile the votes and collate them when you work with three sets of votes. It would take a lot more time if I used all 20 or more ... and it was a Saturday night after a 9 goal loss. There's only so much abuse one can take in these circumstances and adding up votes for an hour or so and then checking and making sure you got it right is a bit of a stretch. We don't have the resources of Champion Data here.

Anyway, I don't think you've made your point and our system is about as random as you can get in a poll based on the opinions of committed Demon fans.

BTW last year's winner was Brad Green. What was wrong with his year?

I did not think he broke too many. Many of his possessions were easy uncontested dish offs and too many of his disposal were short passes not penetrating the oppositions lines. I dont think from the wieght of possessions really hurt the opposition. He does show that he has class I wish he could do more with the ball.

I concur.

I was actually disappointed in this part of his game and didn't think it really added much value.

Thanks for your reply. I still think there is a real chance of a player polling well by MANY POSTERS and not even registering one vote with the crazy RANDOM system. Surely a person of your intelligence can see that the present method is flawed and not nearly accurate enough. Voting for a best player having a RAFFLE system is not on. Bruce for example has received votes from DIFFERENT posters over 2 rounds and hasn't even scored yet. He was last year's MFC B&F if you remember. Take the LUCK factor out of your SYSTEM.

Well done. The votes were spot on.

The Demonland Player of the Year has more has more credibility then the Bluey.

After all, look who won the respective awards last year.

    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.
