Demonland Player of the Year

Thought McLean was excellent today. His best game for the year IMO.

AFL website is saying his direct opponent was Hayes, who was a clear BOG. If true, that would lower his colours considerably.

6: Jamar

5: Rivers

4: Green

3: Warnock

2: Frawley

1: Bennell

Couldnt really award any of the midfielders points. They were good but each were beaten by their respective opponents. The bulk had to goto the defence who held the saints to a fairly low score considering the amount of times it went in the F50.

6- Rivers (getting back to his best)

5- Jamar (one of his best games - keep it up 'Rush'.)

4- Grimes (skilfil and composed)

3- McLean (lots of grunt work, and disposal better than recent weeks)

2- Frawley (solid, with some good run)

1- Maric (excellent first half, just ok second half)

I'm assuming that Rivers played on Koschitzke? From the radio I couldn't tell. About the only thing that got Rivers a mention was a couple of poor kicks (which, actually, is something Rivers needs to work on).

Yep, was on Kosi for majority of the night. Lots of strong spoils (kept him one goal despite the ball being delivered to Kosi's advantage on many occasions.), a couple of strong marks, and lots of 'trademark' Riv. work, leaving his man, when appropriate, to assist team mates in other contests, etc ie. the sort of stuff that doesn't get a mention in most radio coverage. Agree that kicking has never been Riv's strongest suit.

Good on him.

Thats the problem with watching games on TV. You can never really tell who's playing on who because the camera angles are too close. Why can't they televise the game in a wider angle, instead of always close up's of the player in possession!

I actually thought Moloney spent the majority on Hayes, with McLean on Ball?

Interesting that Jamar was an almost unanimous choice as our best yet failed to be mentioned in the best lists of the 2 Sunday papers .

That was interesting. It also confirms to me that some journalists rely heavily on stats racked up by midfielders, and overlook the likes of not only Jamar's good work, but that of Jared Rivers down back too. Not surprising really. I also thought Frawley was handy too.

Yeah, it's more than likely they simply look at the stats and base a lot of their assumptions on them. I've noticed that a few times this year. Anyone who watched the game the other night couldn't have overlooked Jamar. He clearly killed Gardiner and King and took a couple of strong pack marks. That's in the best for me, particularly considering our second half.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
