DEMONLAND PLAYER OF THE YEAR - Round 5

[Demonland 73,140]

Place your votes for the Demonland Player of the Year 2012 after the final siren.

Votes to be given on a 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 basis

[Ryan Dee 140]

6 - Jones

5 - Magner (amazing tackling)

4 - Mckenzie

3- Grimes

2 - Mcdonald

1 - Morton

[Chook 15,022]

6. Bartram, for playing a blinder on his 100th game

5. Jones, for his sensational, almost "elite" first half.

4. Rivers, for being a stalwart in defence.

3. Magner, for going in hard time after time after time

2. McKenzie, for practically shutting down Goddard and tackling (and smothering) like a madman

1. Tom McDonald, who started off too conscious of Riewoldt, but ended up almost beating him. Not only did he play well on Roo, but he knew when to run off him and get his own ball, and when to help out his fellow defenders.

P.S. Grimes got a lot of it but his kicking still makes my knees collapse.

6.Jones - first half, just brilliant. second pretty good.

5.Bartram - not sure how anyone can not have Bartram in their votes. His endeavour was just superb, and his skills better than usual.

4.McKenzie - welcome back, son. Showed improvement last week, then huge step up tonight.

3.Magner - same old Magner, great pickup.

2.Bail - another, like McKenzie, who has started to show some form last week

1.Bate - absolutely deserves his spot in the side at the moment

this from a guy who left rivers out

[stuie 7,374]

6. Jones - There when needed

5. Rivers - Reliable and useful

4. Moloney - Just kept winning it for us, and actually handballed well a coupla times!

3. Magner - Heart, so much heart

2. Bartram - Skills matched his effort tonight

1. Bate - Becoming really reliable

Jamar? I thought he was instrumental.

Rivers continues great form also.

[daisycutter 29,738]

not much love for jamar who killed them and starting hitting the ball wide and not at his feet

[Maybe next year 170]

.

5.Bartram - not sure how anyone can not have Bartram in their votes. His endeavour was just superb, and his skills better than usual.

I left him out because I thought he did not do very much in the first half. His 3rd and 4th quarters were pretty good and nearly managed to squeeze into the votes for mine.

Jamar was definitely my no 7.

[Jaded No More 68,974]

6- McKenzie (for shutting down St Kilda's best and most important player)

5- Jones (midfield engine)

4- Grimes (for lifting when needed)

3- Bail (for his 1%ers and his pace)

2- Bate (for his willingness to attack the contest)

1- Tommy Mac (for taking on the biggest test of his 6 game career and smashing it!)

Honorable mentions to Rivers, Garland, Jamar and Magner would I think would come back on even if he snapped his leg in half!

And a very very honorable mention to Clint Bartram, for leaving his guts on the field every week and for executing the best kick of his career after 100 games.

I want everyone to stop for a moment and appreciate the fact that we're having trouble with a top 6 because there were too many good players. How good is that? The past few weeks we've all been struggling to find enough positives to pick six. This time it's a struggle to cut some great performances and come up with only the 6 best. If this isn't a good sign I don't know what is.

6. N. Jones - His first half was awesome. Fell off a bit in the second, but clearly BOG for us.

5. T. McDonald - Shut down on one of the best mobile forwards in the game was great. Gave up an early goal when he was feeling Nick's star powerand another at the end that was bad luck as much as anything, but otherwise owned him.

4. J. McKenzie - Demolition job on Goddard. Enough said

3. J. Rivers - Held the backline together. He was solid all day, won his 1-1s and provided rebound.

2. Bartram - Hard and tough, disposal was far better than we've come to expect and he capped it with a brilliant goal in traffic.

1. Jamar - 55 hitouts? How the hell do you get numbers like that?

Apologies to Davey, Grimes, Dunn, Magner, Bate and Bail who all had really good games. As I said, it's great to have too many players to pick from.

Cannot believe no one has Jamar. To me he was almost BOG. He was all over Stanley and McEvoy and gave our mids first use of the ball at every opportunity.
