Demonland Player of the Year


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Made some shocking errors yet again.

Off the top of my head -

- A classic Bruce handball that put Bell under immense pressure who was pounced upon and pinged by the ump on the Port 50. Result = goal to Port

- A rubbish kick on to the wing that should have hit a wide open McLean, but instead missed him by 20 metres. The ball bounced badly straight to a Port player who sent it forward. Result = goal to Port

2 out of 37 isn't bad. In all seriousness Cam Bruce has been inspired the last two weeks. I love the way he has been hitting the ball at pace and running forward and hitting targets. Exactly how he was playing when at his peak. Clearly BOG by a fair way IMO. MMM had him with 11 contested possesions.

Fair enough.

I did say on the 3 word analysis thread that he had a pretty good game.

Was definitely in our best twelve or so players.

AND, 16 EFFECTIVE KICKS!

Aaah. That's better. I thought you were high for a minute there.

You're still a [censored] though. Almost everyone on here claims he was BOG, and he's only in our "best 12" according to you. Bruce's effective disposal percentage was in the eighties...

Unbelievable.

I'm surprised you didn't give the 6 votes to Sylvia.

Sorry guys, Bruce wasn't BOG. He was excellent at sweeping across half-back and clearing up the danger, but disposal again let him down more than it should for it to be a BOG game.

Moloney (Clearances in the guts and beautiful kicking up the middle)

Bruce (see top)

Jurrah (no comment needed)

Petterd (presented all day, marked strongly and kicked crucial goals)

Jetta (just needs more polish in front of goals to be a star)

Warnock (beat Tredrea well)

Jamar would have polled except for the missed goals.

McLean, McDonald and Green all stood up too.

Yeah, poor disposal eh? 16 out of 19 EFFECTIVE kicks isn't that bad is it? Maybe you are a perfectionist.

I never said his disposal was poor... As stated by someone else above his disposal directly led to two PA goals. And if you look at my votes I gave him 5 anyway and described his game as excellent so what more do you want? Me thinks you are (and always have been) a touch Bruce sensitive...

For the people who put all their faith in the effective possessions stat, honestly it isn't worth the stat-keepers time to bother calculating it. I would rather Moloney kicking 30-55 metres through the middle of the ground at 75% than Bruce kicking 30 metres sideways across halfback at 86%.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
