Demonland Player of the Year

[Nasher 33,607]

Disappointing result. Can't question the boys endeavour, but I reckon the result in the end is a fair reflection of where we're at: not quite there yet.

[Face Your Demons 175]

Proud of the boys today. Hate losing but you won't find me knocking them on today's effott.

Davey was a big loss today.

-6 points to the fat [censored] sitting in front of me who had a whinge that Melbourne supporters were getting upset about the clearly rigged umpiring. As I said to you then, stay home on your couch if you can't handle the noise you [censored]

Hawthorn supporters come a clear second to Collingwood supporters for the worst to have to sit near at the football. I had an infuriatingly arrogant couple behind me who took potshots at the vocal Melbourne supporters around us and got upset at most of the umpiring through the day. And also thought the deliberate OOB was actually deliberate.

On a side note, I reckon today was the most feral I've heard the Melbourne MCC supporters. Lots of yelling and general displeasure.

Look I may have swore profusely at those green bastards and at Buddy, but fancy those Hawks supporters getting on their moral high ground. They are the first to whinge whenever the umpiring goes against them, and the first to eat their own (with their president being the number one offender).

Arrrrgggggh, I HATE HATE HATE Hawthorn. The next victory we have against them will be second only in sweetness to the next victory we have against the scumbags from Carlton.

P.S.- the umpire who paid the two deliberates should be shot, and the umpire who paid the free to Franklin should be tortured and then shot

[Deeoldfart 8,005]

Disappointing to lose, but so many things transpired against us today (Davey injury, the weather, a couple of crucial umpiring decisions at crucial times). So proud of the boys, and so much to look forward to. My votes:

Rosebury paid the deliberate rushed behind, McInerney paid the deliberate out of bounds. I can't decide which was worse.

Thought Bennell was disappointing to be honest, but a good team effort let down by occasionally deplorable skills (Paul Johnson, Colin Garland, Rohan Bail) and completely [censored] umpiring.

6 - Sylvia (good game. threw his weight around)

5 - Bruce (have to give him some credit... he is playing well)

4 - Bail (big fan of this guy)

3 - Joel Mac (big fan of this guy)

2 - Frawley (broke even with Buddy, and would have beaten him if it wasn't for those f***ing imbecile maggots)

1 - Scully (takes the game on)

[stuie 7,374]

WTF?? Bruce?? Are you guys serious? Anything good he did was totally negated by his shocking disposal today and his lack of second efforts. He's been great the last month but today he simply does not deserve to be amongst votes.

6 Sylvia (Our clearance king today).

5 Rivers (Lifesaving marks as third man up. His kicking has also improved).

4 Jamar (Our only real strength that we knew we had going in to the game. Took some epic marks and really saved our butts in the third with some timely goals).

3 Bail (Brilliant young kid who is only going to get better).

2 Jurrah (Quite good in conditions that he probably isn't too used to).

1 Wonaeamirri (If only he was a little taller and couldn't get outmarked so easily).

Are YOU serious???? Have a look at his stats today. 13 EFFECTIVE kicks! ( 'shocking disposal') 6 tackles. Man, you have had too much to drink.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

No idea how Bennell got votes.

Bail is becoming one of my favourite players very quickly.

Smashed Hodge, kicked a goal, 9 TACKLES, 150 Supercoach points (Game high for either side EASILY).

Gee I don't know mate, how did he possibly get in the best?

Bruce was OK on Hodge. His kicking wasn't the issue for me today, but rather his reluctance to put his body in at the contest. Too many times he tried to soccer the ball or stand a step away from a pack, instead of diving in. Pretty disappointing from a vice captain in a must-win game.

[stuie 7,374]

Blah blah blah... Bruce should never be judged by stats, nor should most players, WATCH the game!! This is one of the reasons why people call for Bennell to be dropped every week without realising what he does off the ball.

"Smashed Hodge"???? are you joking? Bruce might have been ok early while being the front runner he likes to be, but at critical stages Hodge more than evened the ledger.

Look, I've loved Bruce's game the last month or so, but he is a SENIOR player not a developing player, today his second efforts were non-existent and his disposal was poor.

I'm sure come September you can use stats to try and get us a premiership then if they're so valuable...

[Roost It 1,434]

Anyone not giving votes to Frawley needs to watch the tape. Take away some shocking umpiring (actually 2 of the poorest decisions for the year) and he comfortably had the better of Franklin. We were smashed in the clearances and the ball spent most of the time with the Hawks and in their forward line. Most players would have conceded 7 goals.

As for a poster giving votes to Bennell, I must have missed something while I was venting at the umpires and those conceited, smug Tassy Hawks supporters.

Garland must have read The Age and got a little ahead of himself today.

I hope McDonald plays again next year. Without him today and the result would have been worse
