Demonbracket 50 - Celebrating 50 Fruitless Years

I went Green & Brown - can someone vote the opposite way to cancel out my guilt?

 
 

Lamprill knocking over PJ is a big surprise to me, otherwise predictable.

Green v Farmer and Brown v Viney both tough to call.

No real surprise to me, Lamprill had a dip and made more of his limited talent than PJ.

Biggest surprise to me is Matthew Bate knocking off Warren Dean. The fact that Dean only played 30 odd games due to injury is a tragic, could have been a star.

Farmer and Viney for me - both by a nose.

I feel a bit guilty voting in these as for most of them, my youth and relatively late coming to footy means my memory only goes as far back as the mid 90s. I'm probably contributing to some injustice for some of those legends from the 80s and earlier.

Warren Dean was magnificent R22 1987. Robbie may not have played finals footy if not for his game that day.

Massive contribution to the MFC compared to Matthew Bate.

Regarding the Farmer description, as far as I recollect Lyon still kicked the goal after the handpass in the goalsquare. Then he told Jeff off. Is my memory playing tricks on me?

Lamprill didn't make much use of his 'talent' round 22 1996 when Dunstall kicked 10 and the Hawks beat us by a point.

Agree with you regarding Dean, another in a long list of Demons with careers cut short by injury.

It's a mystery...my own recollection was that the ump called it back to the Wiz because he'd blown time off.

One thing I do remember was the look on Big Balmies face in the coaches box. They zoomed right in and his (already large) noggin completely filled the Jumbotron...fricking enormous.

I saw that footage on Fox recently.

Your memory is not playing tricks, Lyon did kick the goal then I reckon he told Jeff to settle down rather than telling him off.

Extremely so.. I think Farmer and Brown will be v unlucky to be out first round

Strawbs will smash Ward, if not than that, coupled with Dean getting done by Bate, my faith in Demonbracket humanity will be close to shot.

Ferguson out already. My faith is already shot.

Farmer over Greeny was a tough call, but I reckon the Croswell v Johnson contest is the one to watch. Viney will romp home over Doggy.

If AJ doesn't wallop Crosswell I will be astounded.

Nah Farmer definitely got another kick cos the ump had called time off. Lyon told him to settle down after he found himself getting hit by the ball in his back unexpectedly!

Incorrect my friend unless their were two similar occurrences.

Smithy just saw the footage against Adelaide and you are spot on but I don't think that was the one I was thinking of - I seem to recall him doing it another time where he got another kick.

But without footage to back me up I'll concede defeat!

Strange that Supermacado, Kumamoto Ken (who is usually on the mark) and yourself all have a similar opinion.

Maybe there was another occasion.

Perhaps others may share some light.

Not to try and influence my own competition, but I'll be sad if Crosswell loses because he was an epic comedy figure. I remember Johnson showing up and having a whinge when we delisted his average kid

AJ was a real crowd favourite, a brilliant footballer and dual Bluey winner whereas Crosswell who also possessed great ability was a 2 bob lair for mine.

7 PM shut off boys/girls.

And Round 1 is now complete (updated tournament tree). Thanks for your votes, the last section went as follows:


Jeff Farmer 153 (63%) d. Brad Green 91 (37%)

Rod Grinter 235 (96%) d. Stephen Icke 9 (4%)

Danny Hughes 203 (83%) d. Russell Richards 41 (17%)

Paul Hopgood 225 (92%) d. Luke Williams 19 (8%)

Peter Moore 165 (68%) d. Tony Campbell 79 (32%)

Alan Johnson 170 (70%) d Brent Crosswell 74 (30%)

Todd Viney 204 (84%) d. Nathan Brown 40 (16%)

Russell Robertson 205 (84%) d. Trevor Rollinson 39 (16%)

Steve O'Dwyer 175 (72%) d. Daniel Ward 69 (28%)

Jim Stynes 235 (96%) d. David Cordner 9 (4%)


Round 2 will take place from right now until 7pm Monday (VOTE HERE). All 32 games at once, no time for gimmicks and novelty descriptions just red hot electoral biff. Matches are:


Robert Flower vs Clint Bartram

Sean Wight vs Anthony Ingerson

Peter Walsh vs Henry Coles

Brett Lovett vs Andrew Obst

Stephen Tingay vs Alan Jarrott

David Schwarz vs Brian Wilson

Darren Kowal vs Aaron Davey

Steven Febey vs Graham Osborne

David Neitz vs Guy Rigoni

Greg Hutchison vs Laurie Fowler

Matthew Febey vs Gary Baker

Garry Lyon vs Shane Woewodin

Cameron Bruce vs Bret Bailey

Graeme Yeats vs Gary Hardeman

Liam Jurrah vs Kevin Dyson

Jeff White vs Earl Spalding

James McDonald vs Travis Johnstone

Steven Stretch vs Glenn Lovett

Paul Prymke vs Stephen Smith

Greg Healy vs Greg Wells

Allen Jakovich vs Matthew Whelan

Andrew Lamprill vs Stephen Newport

Darren Bennett vs Brad Miller

Matthew Bate vs Adem Yze

Jeff Farmer vs Rod Grinter

David Williams vs Danny Hughes

Paul Hopgood vs Peter Moore

Alan Johnson vs Todd Viney

Russell Robertson vs Steve O'Dwyer

Ricky Jackson vs Alistair Nicholson

Paul Wheatley vs Ross Dillon

Max Walker vs Jim Stynes


It's a marathon lineup, but you've got three days to fill your ballot paper so have at it.

 

This is getting harder. For mine none is tougher than Jakovich vs Matty Whelan. Both deserve better than a round 2 exit.

True, Stretch v Lovett, Healy v Wells and Farmer v Grinter are others.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
