Demonland Player of the Year

Featured Replies

6 - Frawley (General down back and 2 goals against him [3 but 1 was complete BS] on a monster who was getting massive feed all night.

5 - Trengove (Stood up when the going got tough and never took a backward step. Overpowered eventually with weight of numbers, as was the rest of the team).

4 - Petterd (Presented time after time and worked hard all night. Needs to learn to hold on to his overhead marking attempts, seems to get under the ball a little too often, with his one screamer the outstanding exception).

3 - Howe (Not the greatest game, however he continues to work his butt off and not just offering leads, he works to assist and spread too. Only 4 games under his belt before last night yet his work ethic and finish put others like AJ & Sylvia to shame. They should hang their heads. Shows maturity way beyond a new rookie. Keep it going mate)

2 - Jones (wouldn't normally give votes on this performance but there was so little else to choose from).

1 - Watts (for trying to play as a stop gap utility in virtually every position on the ground. His head must be spinning after this role. Whatever role was asked of him that is. This is a vote to encourage him to keep going and not lose hope after such a pitiful coaching performance!)

    Strauss was not that good last night.

    For mine he lost one contest that I recall. Had 21 touches and hardly turned it over. Had one brain fade under pressure.

    I too thought Strauss was Ok.

    What I didn't like about Strauss' game was his decision making and his lack of awareness.

    He gave a number of handballs to blokes under the pump and got caught a few times hesitating when he needed to make a quick decision and move the ball on.

    I also thought he lacked intensity.

    But these attributes could be said of a number of players last night. And I accept that Strauss is inexperienced and is more likely to make these errors.

    I'm not having a crack at him, I just can't see how he could possibly be in our top six players last night!

    Every time we lose your woman gets 6. Tell her to stop performing, the boys might be less distracted and we'll win more!

    Wow. We have a 20 year old leading and a 19 year old in second for the D'land player of the year. I wonder if it's a similar story in the B&F.

    Tells you a little about our list.

  • Quote

    If you were at a club that may lose a player at the end of the year and one of the criteria for compensation was position in the B&F would you play around with the B&F figures to ensure that player finishes higher than he should.

    yes, I would

    Firstly, I'm not in that position to comment. But I'd be naive to think that it hasn't happened in the past at some club and will not happen in the future at some club.

    Secondly and importantly, if we had no concern of losing a player at season's end it shouldn't be a concern. Period. But, if there was an inkling that that was the case, you would want that player to perform at least well enough in several games to cover any manipulation. Not that I condone such thing.

    I think I need a shower, because I feel like I'm in murky waters.

    Would make interesting reading to bump all the posts over the past couple of years that bagged him to the extreme. Does anybody have the time ... and the vindictive streak ... to do it?

    That's what you get for being one of the only players in the team with consistent output.

    He hasn't had a bad game since the GC game where he was a sub. That's a long stretch of contribution for someone so young, and seemingly it's a feat nobody more senior can achieve (Beamer comes close, but he too goes missing when we're down).

    It's a credit to Watts, Martin and to a lesser extent Trengove (who would probably be up the top if he didn't miss 3 games), that they've managed to maintain a high level of performance each and every week, regardless of how everyone around them has performed. Especially for Watts who plays a tough position, and Martin who has been on a steep learning curve since Jamar went down injured.

  • Quote

    Will be interesting to see where Jack W finishes in the real B&F count.

    As Jaded had pointed out, he has contributed and given his all every single week since being the sub, I don't think any other player could claim that.

    I do think that Moloney will win it, but Jack could very well finish Top 5. Maybe even Top 3 at this rate.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
