DEMONLAND PLAYER OF THE YEAR - ROUND 1, 2015

Featured Replies

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!

Do you realise that Garland was Ablett's direct opponent when he rested up forward?

well then why is Viney getting all the credit for 'stopping' him!?

 

Coaches votes:

Because of the votes given in this game you can work out exactly how the coaches actually voted:

Coach 1 Coach 2

5 McDonald McDonald

4 Garlett (or Howe) Howe (or Garlett)

3 Watts Watts

2 Viney (or jones) Jones (or Viney)

1 Prestia (or Rischatelli) Rischatelli (or Prestia)

What is interesting is our voting is similar whilst many so called experts ignored McDonald.

So who did Roos vote for?

My best guess:

5. McDonald

4 Howe

3 Watts

2 Viney

1 Prestia

Any other thoughts?

I get the feeling both Roosy and Eade love their half back flankers and would be impressed by Howe but at the same time Garlett gave us something we didn't have last year and hurt the Suns.

Have to think Roosy recognises Viney's game and who knows which GC player they went for. I liked Rischitelli's game for the goals, but Prestia played a very solid midfield game as well.


McDonald

Jones

Watts

Garland

Garlett

Viney

Best game I have ever seen McDonald play I reckon. Looked very confident under the long ball and provided rebound. Viney could have been higher but I think part of the reason Ablett was nullified so well was because he isn't quite ready to be playing again.

Cheer up Curry, go and watch the game again and focus on the work that Viney did, your making comments that don't really have much to back them up and just to stir people up. Viney was in out best just like a Watts was.

Just noticed that the one who tapped the ball between three Suns back to Jeffy for that brilliant goal from the centre bounce was ...

... none other than Jack Watts.

Watts played better than Viney

The coaches seem to agree with me

Thought that Saad looked like a handy addition to the Suns. Any idea who he was playing on?

Fanfooty says he was on Brayshaw but I thought I saw him following JKH around

So you are after Viney? Do you hate players that can tackle? or is it because he hasn't played enough games? Drop him for McKenzie as McKenzie has played more games that will surely get us a win because your theory is brilliant.

Not at all. Watts was clearly better is all I've said. Are you disputing that point or just being a DH sniper again

I don't think there was much difference between both of them they were both great. I gave Viney 5 votes and Watts 4.

Congrats to T.Mac, Watts, Viney and Jamar for making the team of the round.

For the few that had a go at Jamar for not getting the ball he was judged as the best ruckman for the round so he must be doing something right.

Garlett very unlucky not to make the team.

NB: No Tommy Mac on the masthead. Must have been an oversight.


Off the topic should Jamar replace Grimes on the banner?

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
