Unofficial Demonland Player of the Year - Final Tally


P-man

Recommended Posts

As a precursor to the official reveal, below are the final standings of my own tally of the votes this year.

I have used a different system to the site's sample of 3 voters, and have instead taken a wider sample of 10 voters to provide as a comparison. This isn't to say this system is better or worse, but my own view is that a sample of 3 is not big enough so I did this for my own interest and am sharing in case others wish to get another perspective.

Each week there are 210 votes available (10 x 6,5,4,3,2,1).

Included in brackets are the number of games in which the player polled reasonably well (the benchmark for which I set at 10 votes or more), the number of games played, and the time spent on ground.

Winners are:

  1. N Jones - 691 (17 - 22 - 87.4%)
  2. Tyson- 525 (13 - 22 - 77.6%)
  3. Dunn - 368 (10 - 22 - 96.3%)
  4. Jetta - 297 (9 - 16 - 85.1%)
  5. Vince - 295 (9 - 22 - 83.2%)
  6. Viney - 293 (9 - 19 - 77.6%)
  7. Cross - 291 (12 - 17 - 87.6%)
  8. Howe - 217 (7 - 22 - 92.6%)
  9. Pedersen - 217 (6 - 19 - 87.8%)
  10. McDonald - 197 (6 - 21 - 93.5%)
  11. Jamar - 167 (5 - 17 - 82.6%)
  12. Dawes - 149 (4 - 18 - 89.7%)
  13. Frawley - 127 (5 - 21 - 91.3%)
  14. Watts - 125 (5 - 22 - 85.7%)
  15. M Jones - 117 (2 - 20 - 80.6%)
  16. Gawn - 90 (2 - 9 - 71.7%)
  17. Kent - 87 (3 - 13 - 72.2%)
  18. Grimes - 86 (3 - 18 - 88.3%)
  19. Bail - 58 (3 - 21 - 84.1%)
  20. Riley - 49 (1 - 9 - 48.9%)

Kennedy-Harris - 33 (2 - 14 - 58.1%)

Garland - 26 (1 - 14 – 88.6%)

Spencer - 23 (1 - 5 - 81.6%)

Georgiou - 20 (1 - 7 - 82.9%)

McKenzie - 16 (0 - 8 - 84.4%)

Michie - 12 (1 - 4 - 78.5%))

Fitzpatrick - 11 (1 - 5 - 67.8%)

Terlich - 11 (0 - 15 - 77.3%)

Byrnes - 10 (1 - 6 - 69.2%)

Toumpas - 9 (0 - 4 - 66.8%)

Trengove - 3 (0 - 2 - 91.0%)

Salem - 3 (0 - 12 – 55.2%)

Barry (5), Evans (3), Tapscott (3), Blease (2), Nicholson (1)

Top 10 most consistent:

  1. N Jones - 77.27% (17 - 22 - 87.4%)
  2. Cross - 70.59% (12 - 17 - 87.6%)
  3. Tyson - 59.09% (13 - 22 - 77.6%)
  4. Jetta - 56.25% (9 - 16 - 85.1%)
  5. Viney - 47.37% (9 - 19 - 77.6%)
  6. Dunn - 45.45%(10 - 22 - 96.3%)
  7. Vince - 40.90% (9 - 22 - 83.2%)
  8. Howe - 31.81% (7 - 22 - 92.6%)

Slightly off-topic, but the time-on-ground percentage for Tyson and Viney is pretty revealing of the way those younger guys still need to develop their tanks. They're both on the bench for a full 10% of the game more than Nathan Jones (who, not surprisingly, sets the standard for the midfield). Ten or twelve more minutes of Dom Tyson per match next year will help make his stats look even more impressive … and help us as a team.

*I don't remember either Tyson or Viney being sub at all, but it may have happened once or twice, which would have an effect on their TOG%.

The fact that experienced players such as Dawes, Jamar and Frawley have been (effectively) given a pass mark in 5 or less games across an entire season says everything about why this club is where it is. Until we can find a bunch of players who can match Nathan Jones's ability to put in every week, no matter what the circumstances, we will remain a poor football team.

The only thing I'd add is that 10 votes is actually a "good" game, not necessarily a "pass" game. A player may poll a single vote from 5 different people which would in most people's reckoning constitute a pass, but if they didn't accumulate 10 votes it wasn't added to that figure of "good" games.

But your point is still valid.

Matt Burgan's predictions - http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2014-09-02/jones-to-win-his-third-bluey-in-a-row

1. N Jones

2. Tyson

3. Vince

4. Dunn

5. Howe

6. Cross

7. Frawley

8. Watts

9. Viney

10. Pedersen

In the mix:

6-10. McDonald

6-12. Jetta

Edge of 10. Grimes, M Jones, Bail, Dawes

10-15. Jamar

His top six is reasonable, but from there it drifts into the slightly bizarre.

    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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy.
