Viney for his work on Ablett

Garland great to have him back in form

McDonald great marks and run out of the back

Hogan helped our smalls get into the game. Awesome to see him split some packs

Jones a good captains game

VanDemon much needed grunt. Can't wait to see him develop over the year

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

After watching the replay I am swapping Viney and T Mac

6 - Jack Viney - wore Ablett like a glove the first 3 quarters and smashed his shoulder into the turf at every opportunity. Set up multiple goals.

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

6-McDonald. Was impassable and almost had perfect disposal efficiency

5-Garland. Had a flawless game, back to his creative running best.

4-Viney. Defensively brilliant, and used it very well

3-Jonesy. Ho-hum, same old bleed for the jumper stuff.

2-Watts. He's gonna be a hard man to stop this year.

1-Vandenberg. Is he a midfielder, a forward. Skills, nasty, speed and footy smarts.

No votes from me. Too hard to split the hairs. For so long I've struggled to find 6 who deserved it, now there are too many. I'll just say it was an amazing effort and almost everyone had an impact. Great job to the team.

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.

Thanks for your suggestion and we understand where you're at but we've decided to stick with our usual format.

Please feel free however, to run your own separate format and we can compare outcomes at the end of the year.

Cheers,

Andy

Cheers Andy, no worries.

I'll think about running it again.

6. T-Mac - marked everthing, created drive and was assured

5. N Jones - closely checked but always amongst it and pivotal scoring involvements each time GC came at us. A true captains game

4. J Viney - great job on Ablett, won lots of ball and good kicking inside 50

3. Garlett - could have easily kicked 3 - 4, goals/scoring involvements at key times and running goal from centre clearance was awesome

2. Hogan - provided a real presence up forward, took marks, crashed packs, kicked goals and involved in a number of goals

1. Garland - excellent on Ablett and catalyst for our drive out of backline. Looks to regain his 2013 form and really underrated player.

Problem, so many good players tomorrow I could change my mind.

But nice problem to have!

6. McDonald - Marked everything and made some good attacks from defence, can only remember one really bad turnover trying to center it inside the defensive 50
5. Garlett - Don't remember the last time someone has kicked a running goal from the center bounce. We have severely lacked a quick small forward for a long time and looked extremely dangerous whenever he got it

4. Jones - Standard Jones game really
3. Watts - Presented hard all day. The palm back to Garlett and the goal from the boundary the highlights

2. Viney - A bit sloppy early but rode Gablett hard all day and got plenty of ball for himself including setting up several goals

1. Garland - I was disappointed with his 2014 season but he looked like the Garland of old. Had high hopes for him this season and a very good start to it

The totals after Round 1:

18. Tom McDonald

13. Nathan Jones

10. Colin Garland

8. Jack Viney

6. Jack Watts

5. Jeffrey Garlett

3. Aaron vandenBerg

Is it easy enough to set up a poll?

blatant anti-watts discrimination!

Ablett was underdone, and he had a fair impact anyway, having a hand in about 5 goals! None of Viney's possessions did much damage! Overrated performance!

Not true,

Had multiple center clearances in the last quarter where he pumped inside 50 that resulted in goals

Kicked it to Hogan in the last for the sealing goal

Fair call actually

Watts was way more influential on the result though

Forgot to add that he hit Watts on the chest in the 3rd quarter, resulting in a goal to Watts

    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.
