Demonland Player of the Year


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Disappointing game overall - very little run and not the pressure we have seen them apply over the last month. Nevertheless, here are my votes:

6: Bruce (He was one of the few who attacked the ball and attempted to run out of defence)

5: Bartram (would have been the best but I was annoyed by him letting Harvey run around him and kick a goal)

4: Dunn (just needs to be more consistent within a game)

3: Grimes (for his 2nd half)

2: Scully (great dash and commitment)

1: Green (was a target but needed to be moved on the ball)

Very disappointed in Joel MacDonald, Stefan Martin, Jared Rivers, Colin Sylvia

6. Grimes (only player to give them run out of an overly tall backline)

5. Green (presented well and helped get them back in the game up forward)

4. Jamar (battled well against one of the 3 best ruckmen in the comp and probably took the points, just!)

3. Scully (after the richmond game his best for the red and blue)

2. Davey (very good in patches, didn't do enough however)

1. Bennell (gave them a lot of run, impressive outing)

He was very good in the third quarter when Melbourne got a run on.

I didn't think he was that good. And playing one quarter out of four isn't good enough.

Needs to lift to keep his spot over Wonaeamirri, Jetta and Maric. As well as Cheney, Strauss, McNamara, Bail, McKenzie, and the upcoming return of Morton and Jurrah.

There's no reason to think Jetta is ahead of Bennell, Maric doesn't seem too likely to come in and Aussie will need to build a lot of fitness up before he'll be promoted.

Cheney, Strauss, Bail, Mckenzie and Jurrah all play different positions to Bennell.

Jetta played better last year as a forward than Bennell has over the last few weeks (on average).

Aussie will take Bennell's spot in a canter if Bennell doesn't improve.

I think it will be hard to justify keeping Bennell in the side when those other players return from injury (the later ones, not McKenzie and Bail) or get in decent form. Unless Bennell improves. Which is the point of my first post I guess. He's not giving enough over 4 quarters atm.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
