DEMONLAND PLAYER OF THE YEAR - ROUND 4


Demonland

Recommended Posts

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.

Too many apologies to mention, but suffice to say it was a great team effort with no passengers! How long has it been since we have been able to put our hands on our red and blue hearts make that claim??

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

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

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.

    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
