DEMONLAND PLAYER OF THE YEAR - ROUND 1, 2015

Featured Replies

 

I ask again this year that the sample be broadened to at least five or six.

Three is too small as the middle tier players sometimes don't get the recognition they deserve in the final rankings, because their votes are missed.

I took a sample of ten in the unofficial one last year and the top five were the same, but it is the ranking of players beyond the Joneses and Tysons that I think many are interested in.

Thanks. A response to this suggestion would be appreciated. I'm yet to receive one.

 

Will post once I have calmed down and collected myself. You will be hearing from me on Thursday.


6 - Tom McDonald - an absolute rock, marked everything and provided great rebound

5 - Jack Viney - wore Ablett like a glove the first 3 quarters and smashed his shoulder into the turf at every opportunity.

4 - Nathan Jones - a usual Jones game, and thats a very good thing of course

3 - Jack Watts - looks set to arrive in 2015... will end up kicking around 40 goals

2 - Jeremy Howe - he made the half backline his own. Impenetrable and unbeatable in the air

1 - Daniel Cross - the ultimate professional, just keeps going and going

Apologies - Tyson, Newton, Lumumba, Garlett, Vandenberg, Garland, Hogan

You must have a good recovery program Forest - closer to Saturday for me.

6 - Tommy Mac - could this be the year

5 - Watts - see above

4 - Viney - great job on Ablett (but gee he is good)

3 - Jones

2 - Garlett - the spark we need

1 - 9 tackle Brayshaw

 

6 - T McDonald

5 - N Jones

4 - J Garlett

3 - J Howe

2 - A VandenBerg

1 - A Brayshaw

Hmm who to leave out?

6 - T McDonald

5 - Jones

4 - Viney

3 - Watts

2 - Garland

1 - Garlett

Stiff - Dunn, Van Demon, Newton, Howe, Cross and Jetta was pretty good at shutting down Bennell


The whole team for the first round one victory in 10 years!!

6 Tom McDonald

5 Jones

4 Cross

3 Watts

2 Garlett

1 Newton

Outstanding team performance (how long is it since we've been able to say that?!) but as I'm restricted to 6 votes:

6. Tommy McDonald - Magnificent. Both solid as a rock and a great springboard.

5. Nathan Jones - Gave everything for the red and blue and led from the front, as usual.

4. Jack Watts - Right up there as one of his best games for the Dees.

3. Col Garland - Early days, but shades of the form he showed in 2013.

2. Jack Viney - Kept GAJ well under control for most of the game, and hurt him at every opportunity.

1. Jeff Garlett - the 'live-wire' small forward we have craved for years.

Too many apologies to list them here, but the Demon debutantes showed that they are likely to be around for a long time! Credit must go to the recruiting,development and coaching staff!


1. McDonald

2. Tyson

3. Jones

4. Garland

5. Dunn

6. Garlett

A great first up effort from Newton, Hogan, Brayshaw, VDBurg and Frost

6. Tom McDonald

5. Jack Viney

4. Nathan Jones

3. Colin Garland

2. Jack Watts

1. Daniel Cross

Apologies: too many to list.

(Edited after watching the replay: I'd been selling Viney short.)

6- McDonald- Was a rock today, grabbed everything that came near him.

5- Garlett- If he had of kicked straight would've been best on, very lively.

4- Jones- Solid Jones-like performance.

3- Watts- So reliable with ball in hand.

2- Viney- Beat Ablett and won clearances, his career obituaries were the most premature I've ever seen.

1- Cross- was Cross, great get this guy, sets the professional standard our kids need to see on field and off.

 

6. McDonald - superb

5. Jones - standard

4. Garland - he's back

2. Newton - 6 tackles and 2 goals

1. Watts - all set up for his best year to date

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
