2. Frawley

1. Byrnes

I am beginning to think we cannot play Toumpas, Trengove, M Jones in the same team. AT least not when we also have 2 ruckman and Pederson. We have to be the slowest team in the league and seeing Toumpas and Trengove chase is almost embarrassing. Pederson tries but is just not good enough.

M Jones is not slow just fumbly which slows him down.

6 N.Jones (lacked a bit of pace when trying to chase down Masten on one occasion, but once again a typical courageous non-stop effort and stemmed the tide of Eagle clearances after quarter-time).

5 D Cross (Much more involved down the corridor than last week and seemed to enjoy tackling Priddis)

4 J Frawley (Chris Langford had seven kicked on him in a GF and was still among the Hawks best. Chipper was far more prominent than last week. He took the game on and Kennedy is a gun).

3 D Tyson (It's a worry that he's only 20 yet he's so much smoother than all our young guys).

2 L Dunn (Quieter when he went forward but reliable again and he's better than Wheatley in his prime)

1 J Grimes (stuck to his guns on LeCras and kept him quiet and he sticks tackles unlike a few others. A couple of bad handling errors but he wasn't the only one).

6: B Vince - not just a pretty face is he!

5: L Dunn - has matured as a player, and appears to have learnt to shut his mouth!

4: N Jones - as ever!!!

3: D Tyson - will be a star of the comp!

2: D Terlich - to call him an honest battler (which he is) is no insult.

1: D Cross - the best old bloke we've picked up in years.

Sorry JKH, don't feel sad that I haven't included you in the votes just be pleased you'll be in the team next week , and not as a sub. Well done, you have a good head on your shoulders!

G'day Demonland

Can you explain to the 'simple minded folk' like myself how the voting works?

Is it an average of votes or total?

Cheers bud

I wonder how many posters that have Frawley in the votes went to the MCG yesterday, some of his one on one work was good but ball in hand he may as well walked over and handed it to a west coast player. Him and Grimes are the leaders of that back 6, it would be interesting to see how many goals where created by turnovers fumbles from our back 6. To be what I thought would be a strength of our club the back 6 is a big liability, they are the turnover kings.

Funny, last year our Mids woeful, this year mids looking OK at least getting the footy, I'm starting to think we severely over rated our back 6.

I was at the MCG and I gave him votes, so let me explain why. I thought he was one of the few who made the necessary effort to get to a position where he could be used. That requires him to take the risk of running off his player even though he knows he may have to rush back if the ball is turned over. Under Neeld I suspect the instruction was for him never to leave his man, so he didn't seem to do this. Yes, he turned it over and some of those turnovers were inexcusable. But I can see the plan and once we have a functioning forward line it won't come back as often or as quickly so he won't be out of position so often on the rebound.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
