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.

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.

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

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

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!

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

3. vandenBerg - gun, massive chance of becoming my new favourite player

HM: Cross, Viney, Garlett, Jamar, Howe

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
