DEMONLAND PLAYER OF THE YEAR - Round 1

Featured Replies

6. Magner (Lead early when there was little leadership being shown, other than Trenners.)

5. :wacko:

4. Trengove (his impact petered out in the 2nd half along with most of his team mates...at least 2 pre seasons away from being a solid 4 quarter contender)

3. Martin (Jamar out - Martin in as the main ruckman from here. Jamar just not adding any value after the bounce and not much more at the bounce)

2. Bail (Average but did a few ok things. A "just" pass given the woeful performance from most of the remaining bananas in this bunch)

1. Watts (needs to commit to the contest/attack the ball/& carrier with more ferocity and stick more tackles. Has a number of friends here but most have more games under their belt and no longer have the "rooky' excuse. At least 2 pre seasons away from playing out 4 quarters and having a significant impact with a body which is capable of doing these things week in and week out. A mighty long wait but willing to be patient, provided he starts showing more ferocity in his general attack on the ball and carrier in the coming year or 2).

Worst part of today.... The reality that we haven't even got 1 superstar/gun/A Grader that can influence the outcome of a game, other than maybe Sylvia (on an occasional blue moon and only then if the mood takes him) and the fact that i still cant see any potential A graders on the horizon. (Trengove/Watts maybe in 2 to 3 years time...but that feels over the horizon at this point and simply not enough "in a numbers sense" to take us anywhere significant).

When does Gary Ablett's contract expire again?? :huh:

    An enormous difference between out Top 6 and the game's Top 15...

    I wish I could give negative votes. If I could they would go to Davey, Green, Moloney, Joel Macdonald.

    Anyway....this'll be difficult.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
