AFL.com team of the week - 4 Demons

Featured Replies

Posted

This week Tom McDonald, Jack Watts, Mark Jamar and Jack Viney made the AFL team of the week. I cannot remember the last time we had one entry let alone 4 of them. Great that Viney was recognised for the work on Ablett.

Wines and Trelor also made it - it is worth looking at their photos. Seems like they were taken in the under 12's....

Here is to many more!

 

That's no mean feat considering the quality of the Freo v Port game and the frighteningly good performances of the Hawks and the Crows.

Its a very good thing Nathan isn't one of those, we need the pressure to come right off him this year

The comments on the AFL Facebook page are unbearable...


Picture of Jack Watts gracing the article as well.

Maybe it's just the cynic in me, but if we had have got smashed on the weekend, Jack Viney would be getting chastised left, right and centre for playing a rough tag on Ablett.

It's amazing what a win means other than just the 4 points.

 

Tom McDonald leading the peoples voting poll as well. #Dominated.

Not sure about Jamar and Viney in the team of the week. Both were good, but not amazing. Happy for Watts to get recognition and McDonald is very well deserved.


Sorry I didnt see the other Team of the Week thread

Please merge

Excellent effort and well deserved by the lads (although I suspect that it will get up the nose of some Demonlanders seeing Watts there)!

Watts over Jack Riewoldt? Stiff.

But 4 Demons, 3 Hawks, give us the premiership now.


Re Jamar, you don't need to touch the ball in the second half to get in the team of the week? The other three were very good.

When was the last time this would have happened? In previous years we wouldn't get 4 in the team of the week with a decent win in a split round!

Watts over Jack Riewoldt? Stiff.

But 4 Demons, 3 Hawks, give us the premiership now.

Riewoldt was playing against a rabble

Watts game was much better

Riewoldt was playing against a rabble

Watts game was much better

I suspect that you always garner more points in a winning team as indicated by the leaders in the Brownlow voting. Nice to see how we go this week against the same rabble? Another four MFC players will be nice!

p.s. Also nice to see that the coaches rated Watts, Viney and McDonald in their 'Players of the Round'!

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
