Demonland Player of the Year


Demonland

Recommended Posts

6 - Jones - Once again, gave his all all day. Quickly realising his potential: obviously loving Neeld's new world order.

5 - Green - Alluding to his best form. Although I do have reservations about his next year, since it'd only be a rookie spot, I'd have no qualms about keeping him on, especially given the dearth of senior players on our list.

4 - McDonald - One of the few highlights in the continuing lowlight that is 2012.

3 - Grimes - Slowly gaining confidence and form. Will definitely grow to be a massive figure of this club.

2 - Sylvia - Couldn't deny him votes, but would love to see Col have this kind of form against a decent team.

1 - Howe - Doing some good things, and is slowly lifting his work rate.

6. Jones - another great four quarter effort. Work ethic has always been outstanding, but now plays within his limitations (which are becoming fewer, btw).

5. Green - shades of Brad in his younger days. Fantastic attitude, despite the set-backs over the last couple of years.

4. Sylvia - Good game Col, including plenty of run and hard work. More of the same next week please.

3. Tapscott - best game for the year.

2. Grimes - Slowly working back to the Jack Grimes we all want to see.

1. Dunn - Much maligned, but was good today imo. We need more in the back half with his kicking skills

6. Sylvia (as others said, would be good to see this against best teams)

5. Jones (most consistent and glad we have another three years at least of this)

4. Grimes ( gives his all)

3. Green ( great delivery to him and whilst picky did not like his celebration after 4th goal but good to see some enjoyment)

2. Howe ( worth going just to see him)

1. T.McDonald. ( looks a defender and even his disposal is improving)

Apologies to Trengove, Joel MacDonald and Spencer

just as many crosses as there were ticks next to t.McDonald's name for me today

Agree with that assessment. Tom has loads of potential, but needs a fair bit of work on his disposal. Couldn't get him into my top 6 in an even team performance.

6- Green- Brilliant game, could be back into his 2010 form. Easily our most able forward target

5- Jones- Continued to dominate, also held Ablett out of the game in the second half at least partially

4- Tapscott- Best game of his career, really made an impact in all areas

3- Howe- Flew around as usual and got plenty of the ball, 6 contested marks!

2- Dunn- Best game he's played in defence, great disposal, long kicking and speed

1- MacDonald- Really improved after being dropped regularly, he's starting to be that great medium defender we need

Grimes, Sylvia, Moloney and Garland were also worth mentioning, as was Spencer who I think is improving and is looking less clumsy

This is definitely a first for us. Nathan Jones has passed the double century before anyone else has scored a ton. That's Don Bradmanlike!

On Jack Grimes- first quarter - how ohh how can backing back into a player with eyes firmly on the ball and copping knees in the back in an unrealistic attempt to mark be deemed a push against Grimes by Schmidt. Sooooo clueless.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
