Just interested to see what everyone thinks, I think Stefan Martin or Jack Watts has it wrapped up.

Martin for me.

Martin for me.

Todd Viney and Garry Lyon would go close for this years award.

When I saw the topic of this thread I thought Watts, but Martin does have some claims on this too. Jamar's injury really has been the making of Martin. I agree that it's down to these two.

 

Went with Jones in the end.

We were comparing him to Moloney at the start of the year...he's really stepped it up. I reckon he's made a late surge for the B&F.

It has to be Martin. At the start of the year he was not in our best 25, let alone anywhere near a regular.

He could not consistently hold a mark or make a big impact.

He has now become a permanent player and has been in our best on several occassions.

Jones has iproved, but has been a good player for a long time, while we always new that Watts would eventually mature into a very good player.


I went for Martin in the end because of consistency over most of the season. Watts would be second on this basis, and I think Bail may have outstripped them both if his season hadn't been curtailed by injury. Trengove and Tapscott might also have attracted some votes if they had been included in the poll.

 

Jones stepped up from what was generally a very good season last year, but Martin came from absolutely nowhere to a starring role. Martin easily... despite the fact I think Mr Consistency Jones probably has the Bluey just about sewn up.


Really like him (Martin). He still can't hold a mark like he should but he's taking a lot more of them.

Perhaps given his previous injuries, and Jamars this season, it's more a case of an opportunity to shine than improvement. At least I think so.

His ace is his speed / agility / hand-eye (frame doesn't hurt). We saw that years ago. Certainly impacting more games.

I'd go with Watts.

no brainer, Stef Martin.

I had basically written this guy off, but for him to produce what he did this year, has totally taken me back, and bloody good on him.

I agree

I had to think about it, cause I reckon Jonesy is a very, very close second. But in the end it had to go to Martin. IMO he was gonna be trade bait at the end of the season, but has absolutely secured his future, and good on him.


I'd have to say Martin because Jones has moreso maintained his performances by being more consistent and solid while others around him have been poor and inconsistent. Martin has actually improved his performances. Watts has also improved but still has lulls where he isn't influential at all.

I think a thread/vote for the Most Deteriorated would be a very interesting and closer vote.

Sadly I think Aaron Davey would be a lay-down misere

Forget about trade bait; if Martin's year this year was like his year last year then he'd have shoved Matty Warnock and Addam Maric out of the way for first to be delisted, and his career would've been finished.

He was definitely on the rocks at the start of this year, that's what makes his improvement all the more spectacular.

Unfortunately true.

Howe shouldn't be forgotten

Improvement is one good thing, but the impact of that player is another important factor. ie. whose improvement has had the greatest impacted on the team performance.

Can't argue with that at all Nasher, it is definitely one of the more stunning turnarounds I can remember.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
