Demonland Player of the Year

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.

    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.

    What will happen to the player of the year when we beat Freo by 100-1?

    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%.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
