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

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

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
