DEMONLAND PLAYER OF THE YEAR - Round 16

Featured Replies

 

6 - Hogan - it's scary to think where we would be without him.

5 - Cross - backline general. Just professional yet again.

4 - Gawn - dominated in the ruck. Need him to kick straight (or bent on the snaps).

3 - Viney - poor rockcliff

2 - vanDenburg - would have we beat St K with him?

1 - Howe - best game for the year. Should get more votes but still hurting for on the first 14 games.

6. Gawn

5 Garland

4. La mumba

3. Cross

2. Jetta

1. Hogan

 

6. Gawn: He's starting to look at home in #11

5. Cross: Playing like he wants another go around in 2016.

4. Howe: His best game of the season by a long shot.

3. Hogan: His first quarter won us the game.

2. Dawes: I've been one of his biggest critics for a long time, but he was very good today.

1. Jetta: Great attack on the man and the ball, as usual.

6. Gawn

5. Cross

4. Howe

3. Hogan

2. Viney

1. vandenBurg


6 - Jesse Hogan - in a low scoring game he kicked 4.1 and took 11 marks with 16 touches. Beast.

5 - Jack Viney - gave Rockliff a football lesson. Hes going to give the Bluey a fair shake. He has arrived.

4 - Max Gawn - gave the mids first use and kept us in it in the 3rd quarter with great pressure. Shame he had that poster, deserved a goal

3 - Jeremy Howe - best game of the season by a mile.. used his aerial strength to impact the game. Must do that every week

2 - Daniel Cross - the old warhorse never stops, racked up touches and constantly up thrusts from the backline

1 - Chris Dawes - like Howe, his best game of the season by far. Started like a house on fire when the game was won.

 

Armchair view

6. Gawn (A versatile and mobile tower)

5. Hogan (Can't believe this kid has only played half a season)

4. Cross (He's got another year in him)

3. Dawes. (Covers a huge amount of ground to impact on the game)

2. Howe, ( Best personal and team game for a while)

1. Jetta. (Never shirks. Rarely beaten)

6. Gawn

5. Hogan

4. Cross

3. Jetta

2. Viney

1. Howe


6. Cross - has he played a better game? Superb overhead and showed much needed composure in the back half. Sign him up for another year.

5. Gawn

4. Hogan

3. Viney

2. Howe

1. Dawes

6 - Viney (negated their best player while getting plenty of useful touches himself)

5 - Hogan (matchwinner)

4 - Cross (Good game culminating in him selling the candy at full back. Never thought I'd see the day)

3 - Gawn (overhead marking a feature)

2 - Howe (looks better in defence)

1 - Jetta (decision making and contesting excellent)

6 - Hogan: His 4 goals won us the game. Outstanding for a young KPF in his first season.
5 - Cross: Just pipped by Hogan for top votes imo. Leadership and courage personified!

4 - Gawn: His contested marking and 'one percenters' typify how he's improving as a player.
3 - Howe: Best game for the year (luckily Roos played him to preserve his trade value)
2 - Jetta: Back to his hard / reliable best.

1 - Garland: Good dedenders' game. Marked (or mostly) spoiled everything in his area.

6. Cross

5. Hogan

4. Gawn

3. Howe

2. Viney

1. Dawes


6.Cross - chopped off and set up love what he brings and think he can go again and will be teaching our boys what playing AFL is about

5.Hogan - bounced back after 2 down weeks and dominated as a key forward, works hard and delivered on the scoreboard

4.Gawn - Improving every week and was the best ruckman on the ground against two guys who have been in decent form of late

3.Viney - really really good year and just always gives 100% at every contest, would hate to play against him, future captain just leads and hasn't hit 50games yet

2.Howe - composed with his ball use and used his aerial talent to advantage, played as he should no keep it up

1.Dawes - worked solidly presented as a target freeing Hogan up applied pressure to opponents forcing mistakes, workrate and pressure of this sort has a massive impact on Hogans ability to influence a game

Unlucky Jetta & Vanders

6- Gawn

5- viney

4- hogan

3- garland

2- Howe

1- cross

6- Gawn ( excellent tap work and strong marking )

5 - Dunn ( composed and safe all game )

4 - Hogan ( 4 goals and involvement around the ground)

3- Howe ( actually made some second efforts and was a great springboard from attack)

2- Cross ( would have scored more but for the continued butchering of disposals)

1 - Jetta ( made some important interceptions and tackled superbly)


6. Gawn

5. Hogan

4. Howe

3. Jetta

2. Dunn

1. McDonald

 

Gawn - tied with Hoges for BOG

Hogan

Cross

Garland - much maligned but a great game

Viney

Dunn

Cross and Viney had great games marred by some horrendous turnovers

Didn't think Cross Cross was that good Jack!!

Missed that. Would give him 10 votes if I could. Was outstanding today.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
