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.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
