Demonland Player of the Year - Round 10


Demonland

Recommended Posts

6 - Rivers: career best game and I'm calling it, one of the best individual efforts I've ever seen down back at this club. Crameri goalless.

5 - Garland: X-factor. Match winner.

4 - Jones: Our best player this season, borderline star at present (keep it up JOnesy!)

3 - Watts: Hack my arse!

2 - Grimes: MASSIVE second half.

1 - Nicholson: Disposal not great but everything else very good.

Just like after massive smashings, I need to let the adrenaline die off before I post, otherwise I don't know how I'm going to see past Col Garland's efforts in the last quarter. That and watching completely, utterly exhausted players throw themselves on the ball and man to stop Essendon getting back in it in the last.

Not one player was carried last night. Just a team effort. Can you give votes to every single player.

Maybe on Brownlow night. And the three votes go to, The enire Melbourne football team.

6- Gotta be Riv. What a game from him, has been great all year.

5- Grimes. Won the ball while playing on Watson for most of the game.

4- Nicholson. Courage to run, and beat, opponents set the tone.

3- Jones. What a fighter.

2- Garland. Finally gets played forward!

1- Watts. Great, creative disposal.

Welcome back Moloney, Sylvia, Morton to the team ( at least it appeared as though you wanted to be part of the team). Couple of others still to also return but all positives tonight so I am not naming them.

6. Nicholson- He was awesome with his contested ball and run, and his disposal was not terrible.

5. Rivers- As has been said, dominant game.

4. Watts- Great playmaking and contested work was much much better, especially at the end vs Watson.

3. Grimes- Leading from the front.

2. Garland- Provided a real option up forward. Would have been higher if he kicked straight.

1. Jones- As always, worked hard all night. Nice goal too.

Everybody deserves a vote tonight for actually turning up and going hard.

But when I think of a Grimesy's efforts in the second half I want to cry again. For everything he has been through with injuries and a very difficult start to his captaincy, he was simply inspiring. Absolutely the right man for the job.

Jones as always was magnificent as well.

6. Watts- sublime skill, and those gutsy spoils.

5. Rivers- Best game I've ever seen him play. Masterful.

4.Grimes- Terrier like. Disposal also good.

3. Jones- Guts, guts and more guts. What a team lifting goal!

2. Garland- Unlikely hero in forward line. Great marks in defence too.

1. Mark Neeld and the rest of the Demon team. Fabulous courage and dedication.

Also thought Sylvia was good tonight. Put himself into the contest.

6- Watts: The backline is the place for him. What a great game!

5- Rivers: Unlucky not to get the 6. He was fantastic.

4- Jones: As usual, played with his heart on his sleeve; just this time, he had 21 support acts.

3- Grimes: We've got ourselves a captain!

2- Garland: Our match winning forward

1- Tapscott: I thought he was excellent tonight: he went in hard, took some courageous marks, made some smart plays. Glad to have him in the team.

Honourable mentions: Nicholson, Moloney, McDonald, Green

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
