DEMONLAND PLAYER OF THE YEAR - Round 8


Demonland

Recommended Posts

1. Davey (was everywhere today and realy think that his most damaging position is that rebounding spot (defensive wing to back flank) we need someone to create play from there)

2. Garland (Really finding composure and confidence)

3. Terlich (Really playing a role in the team - similar to Matty Whelan?)

4. M Jones (Just is playing like a miny N Jones - love his composure in congestion and one of the few you won't see handballing to a player in a worse position)

5. Dawes (Massive presence, made me have no dought that he is a leader and loved when he applauded one of the center clerances and then the whole team applauded it)

6. Dunn (Probably the most underated player on here at the moment - is defensive but then also has the ability/confidence to drift off his man and do damage)

Just to tough to pick!

Would have had Dawes up near the top if it wasn't for his 3rd quarter

Wow. Didn't see that coming.

He's not underrated. He's a hack.

Garland - no! What did he do, stop Jake King! Howe! Double no! He couldn't buy a kick forward and wasn't great as loose man down back.

6 - Dunn. Kept his man to two disposals for the game and kicked two goals while playing as full back.

5 - Terlich. Team high tackles, plenty of the ball and he's demanding it off half back and taking responsibility for setting up the play.

4 - Davey. A very welcome return to form from him. Could have had more goals had he been selfish in his play, and set up plenty of attacking moves with his precise kicking.

3 - Jamar. I know people will say he didn't do enough around the ground, but he had more hitouts than the entire opposition and that made a huge difference to our work in the middle.

2 - Magner. We've missed his hardness at stoppages. He makes a huge difference to our ability to get first chance at the ball.

1 - N Jones. As always, works hard all day through the middle. Had a hard time today, but he stuck to it and mostly broke even with Cotchin.

i thought this was an opinion site howe working tirelessly to draw his opponent away from the hole in front of dawes when he was leading. he prevented tiges going two up on dawes. when down back stood in the hole in front of vickery & riewoldt. was prepared to go 2nd/3rd man up when needed. garland beat his man made the decision several times to attack the loose ball and provide some rebound.

In what is a really disappointing year it's good to see two good players in Terlich and Jones M emerge from the state based comps.

6 - Davey ( creative and sublime disposal )

5 - Frawley ( loves the Riewoldt contest , and held his own despite the regularity of entry)

4 - Dunn ( good at both ends , and his kicking to advantage was noted )

3 - Howe ( excellent with the ball, but I wish he'd get it more)

2 - Terlich ( sees ball and gets it )

1 - Magner ( an encouraging return )

Dunn's "kicking to advantage"? Really? Apart from his two goals (which were both excellent kicks), I thought his kicking was quite poor.

It is very refreshing to see that Nate Jones is no longer getting the six points very week. This isn't a reflection on him as he continues to produce week-in week-out, but rather on the fact that there are now others in the side who are giving him a hand and working hard as well. This as much as anything is a sign that things are improving for us.

    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
