Demonland Player of the Year

[titan_uranus 25,014]

(and having endured the shocking, s*#thouse Kelly (more bias than a lawn bowl)Underwood.

Her commentary wasn't horrible, but her bias was unbelievably obvious. Which begs the question: of all the games for Ten to let her call, why have they given her 3 consecutive Geelong matches (next two weeks she's doing Geelong v Hawks and Geelong v Collingwood)? Along with Huddo, it made for some pretty poor and one-sided commentary at times.

In case anyone still cares:

6 - Moloney

5 - Grimes

4 - Petterd

3 - Morton

2 - Bennell

1 - Jurrah

I wasn't able to see much of the game, but isn't great to see all young players in the votes. Looks like the only senior player that played well was Green, then we have a mixture of Moloney, Grimes, Bennell, Morton, Bate, Frawley, Petterd, Jurrah and Bartram

Are you basing that on stats alone? Green got a lot of the ball, but his disposal was very un-Green-like for most of the day. Made a lot of errors that u don't normally see from him.

Moloney was far and away our best senior on the day, and the votes indicate that clearly. Not one voter gave him less than 6 votes. It's as unanimous a result as there's been all year.

sorry if this is off topic but i don't wanna start a new one. a few people were impressed with jetta today. I thought he looked sub par and failed to make an impact. Now don't label me as a jetta hater cos i watched him all last year at swans and i am a big fan of the kid. i just thought he looked lost and a couple of incidents like the run down where he got a free for a push in the back made me have second thoughts. he looked like he had an average game to me but granted bi was distracted by that awful call by underwood.

He looks fine to me.

Has had a nice few weeks.

And lets not forget its his first year.

I wasn't writing him off YM i just didnt think he had a great game and was surprised some people had him in their votes. I was wondering if i missed something. He certainly wasn't the worst on the field.

Can we just give the award to Moloney now? Far and away our most consistent player this year, and thoroughly deserves the Best & Fairest award.

Wonder if some had Jetta mistaken for Bennell who played well?

How about his classy spearing pass to Petterd for a shot on goal? Perfectly weighted and just pure instinct. He dropped a mark on forward flank, recovered quickly, took one step inside and hit him on the [censored] beautifully. Last week his delivery inside 50 was exceptional again, and unlike some of his earlier games this year, is no longer wasting his disposal and blazing away. Is getting a lot of assists since his return to the side.

YM makes a good point though, it's only his first year. At the moment, he looks to me to have a lot of raw talent, just needs to refine his skills a bit and build his engine up. Not super quick, but certainly not slow, looks to have improved his pace since earlier in the season too. Loves a chase and a tackle.

Got a bright future ahead of him, as long as he keeps improving. Will benefit from a full pre-season.

i believe that was jurrah who hit up petterd. anyway, i was just curious as to why he was in the votes.

Sorry, my mistake.

I remember the Jurrah pass you're referring to. I think the Jetta hit up was either a shot on goal for Bate or Robbo, or maybe even Jurrah. I'll have a look at the replay and get back to you.

Personally I didn't have him in my votes, but i thought his first half was pretty good, though he faded in the 2nd half.

EDIT: Just checked it up, it was actually a pass that setup Bate's first goal in the 2nd term. Was a beauty that threaded the eye of the needle and hit Bate among 3 Geelong defenders.
