DEMONLAND PLAYER OF THE YEAR - ROUND 4

Featured Replies

 

6 - Frawley: masterstroke from Roos to switch him forward.

5 - Jones: completely pantsed Murphy. Bullet-like kicks. Is he officially 'elite'? Pretty close.

4 - Grimes: was starting to have doubts. Immense today.

3 - Viney: absolute gun. Extra points for his smart-alec bum tap to Warnock after Bail goal.

2 - Bail: speaking of that guy, he really proved a few wrong today (including me)

1 - McDonald (really good defensively as always and minimised errors by foot)

Apologies, Spencer, Cross (one of the recruits of the year), Dawes (worth every cent!) Matt Jones, and a few others.

He absolutely smashed them today, physically tormented any Blues player that he went near and made that spud Warnock cower in fear

6. Frawely - great presence and just presented all day

5. N. Jones - elite it is

4. Grimes - early on when we were clawing back he was the one clawing

3. T. McDonald - allows the best full back in the business to play forward

2. R. Bail - eating a lot of my own words

1. J. Spencer - in 3-5 years time you can just seeing having a Minson / Jacobs / Maric season

Apologies to Dawes, who was fantastic and gave us so much structure and confidence. Brought the ball to ground repeatedly.

6. N Jones

5. Frawley

4. McDonald

3. Cross

2. Spencer

1. Bail


6- Frawley ( was untouchable )

5 - Cross ( belied his age , and did everything so professionally)

4 - N.Jones ( lifted his game to inspire his teammates)

3 - McDonald ( if he can improve his decision making he could become elite)

2 - M. Jones ( not my favourite , but definitely played an important part today)

1 - Grimes ( lifted his game , and let little pass )

6. N Jones.... Brilliant both ways

5. Tom McDonald..... Marshalled the back line

4. Jack Viney.....would have got a 2, but gets 2 extra for the 'don't argue' chest fend in 3rd.

3. Dan Cross.....a monster of effort and intent

2. Matt Jones..... fast, smart and fit

1. James Frawley......proper effort and great marking.

Apologies to all the others.

6: Jones N: and yes, he is elite!

5: Jones the other: not elite but a bluddy good battler!

4: Spencer: agro with purpose, his best game yet!

3: Grimes: I have always liked Grimsey, and I'm glad he proved a few critics wrong!

2: Bail: the kid shouldn't be playing for his healths sake, but he did and he was good!

1: Dunn: fast becoming Mr Versatile, and a very reliable player!

And my apologies to Chris Dawes and Chip Frawley, well played.

6 N. Jones - 28 touches whilst blanketing Murphy. Huge

5 Spencer - fought (literally and figuratively). Plays for the jumper more than any other

4 Frawley - involved in everything going forward

3 Dawes - Gave the rest of the side hope, how much he touched it is irrelevant

2 McDonald - Blanketed Henderson when one on one several times

1 Viney - sensation, set the tone

Honourable mention to M. Jones and Bail both of who's run were amazing. If all our players ran to receive like these guys we'd be a good side.

Each of these were the tone setters so to say.


6. N Jones. I am beginning to think he might be our best since Flower.

5. Frawley.

4. Spencer. He is a big doofuss, but his aggression and second efforts are inspiring.

3. Bail. I am a huge fan, but posted about 10 days ago that I didn't think he would make it. 10 tackles, 2 goals and ran all day. Wow.

2. Grimes. Poise, grunt and balance, and limited the turnovers.

1. Cross.

Having Dawes changed our playing shape and his work off the ball was amazing.

T Mac was back to his best today, and like Grimes, limited his turnovers.

Love the way Viney, Bail and Evans attack a contest - run in and cause havoc.

Had almost 22 classy performers today - very hard to split the votes

6 Frawley

5 N Jones

4 Grimes

3 Viney

2 M Jones

1 Bail (best game of his career)

Also super impressed with Dunn (am starting to think he's one of our top 5 players on the list), McDonald, JKH, Kent (he's everything Tapscott can do, but better), and Dawes.

 

Nathan Jones (This bloke deserves a Brownlow)

Frawley (Best game I've seen him play in about 3 years)

Spencer (Best game I've seen him play)

Grimes ( Don't knock him - Captain's game)

Viney (Provides grunt)

Mc Donald ( Better and better)

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
