Demonland Player of the Year


Demonland

Recommended Posts


Some of the following are lucky to get votes from me because they all made multiple disposal errors. Sadly however, many of their team-mates were even worse with ball in hand. It's just sole destroying for team morale and supporters alike.

6. Howe

5. Frawley

4. Petterd

3. MacDonald

2. Garland

1. Trengove

6- Howe (sensational)

5- Jones (killed himself time and time again. Shite user of the ball)

4- Frawley (kept Kennedy quiet and got involved. Needed to uppercut himself for some of his disposal decisions)

3- McDonald (great defensive game, but needs to stop trying to be superman)

2- Petterd (OK)

1- Garland (OK)

Anyone that gives Jones votes is kidding themselves. Cost us at least 4 goals to West Coast with turn overs and 2 goals to us by missing easy targets. Yes people will say he gives his all but if we continue to accept medocrity in disposal like him and Bartram then we will get nowhere.

I see your point, but lets be honest, he was on many occasions the only guy going in head first, without a single mate to help him. His disposals were rushed under enormous pressure and yes, they were average, but at least he was out there busting his balls, which is the only thing I actually want to see right now given the season is shot to [censored].

I'm not a big Jones fan and I think (hope) many others will pass him, but it was damn near embarrassing seeing him throw himself head first at contests while guys like Davey stood on the outside waiting for the easy handpass. Totally unacceptable, and he must feel cheated by his mates.

Davey and Sylvia aside the application today was good. We were beaten by a more mature, better drilled and better skilled outfit. I am sick of applauding players that bust their balls but make amateur skill and decision errors. Bartram and Jones are poor and whilst they are in our starting 18 we will be going nowhere.

We've replaced Ward and Godfrey with Jones and Bartram and you're right as long as they are in our starting 22 then we are going nowhere.

Jones has got plenty of heart but so did Godfrey and he was eventually delisted as he just wasn't up to it, unfortunately it was about 100 games too late. We hang on to players at Melbourne if they show a bit of grit and toughness as we're not used to seeing it it.

We generally like em soft and skinny something we can work on.

To be fair, Jones and Bartram (in my view) are each better than Ward and Godfrey respectively. Having said that, neither is particularly good. Great endeavour, poor skill execution.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
