DEMONLAND PLAYER OF THE YEAR - ROUND 1, 2015

[Whispering_Jack 30,672]

Will it be Nathan Jones again this year?

Voting for the first round begins with the final siren.

Votes on a 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 basis (best gets 6 and so on to sixth best which gets 1).

We will select three sets of votes as the official Denonland votes for the round.

[P-man 13,366]

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.

Can we actually give the player something for winning this? I'd happily chip in for a plaque/medal etc. And i'm sure the winning player would be happy to receive an award as voted by the die hard (tragic) Dees fans.

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.

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!

For once the struggle will be who doesn't deserve votes. This may take some thought.

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.
