Demonland Player of the Year - Round 21


Nasher

Recommended Posts

Had the great displeasure of viewing this live. No votes for Jones, Vince, Viney and Gawn based on their pathetic first half contribution of 21 disposals between them.

6. Tom McDonald - at least he always tries

5. Viv Michie - probably our best in the first half and kept cracking in

4. Jack Watts - made some mistakes but had a crack

3. Ben Newton - thought he had a dip

2. Billy Stretch - worked really hard

1. Jack Grimes - best of the rest

Thought Stretch was a shining light on a bleak day

6. Grimes - from the start to the end. When we made a challenge he was at the coalface.

5. McDonald - still a great mark and works hard. Love that we are using him in the middle.

4. Watts - although faded a little, still was an important cog and who knows what would have happened without him there.

3. Newton - clearances. He had some.

2. ANB - really showed some hardness and a guy who makes leads all day (he's 1 of 2)

1. Michie - he did stuff in the first half when no one else turned up.

I honestly laughed when I saw the title of this thread

I was in stiches writing it. I was waiting for D'land to start the thread so I could give some smartarse reply about sparing us this week, but it seems he's made himself scarce this week, so I had to start it.

Smart man, our Andy...

4. Stretch

Easy to miss in the insipid performance that some things are getting better. Showing a bit more every game along with his mate ANB. Good call on the FS pick by the club.

Very hard to pick given everyone made howlers.

6 Grimes - a couple of dreadful errors just before half time, but our only four quarter contributor.

5 T.Mac - why are his hands so clean when he goes for a mark and yet others can't hold a drink bottle.

4 Michie - our best to half time, but ran out of puff and cramped up in last term. May have saved his career though.

3 N.Jones - couldn't break his tag for first half, but was one of the few who really lifted in the second half.

Not sure I can keep going but, maybe.

2 Dunn- he did beat his opponent, although Watson and Jaksch may be the weakest opposition talls he has ever played on, so it's no surprise.

1 Watts - second half was better and he did look like a leader, even if he again failed to hurt on counter-attack.

One final word for Golly. I get that you are being sarcastic, but to put Nathan Jones in your list of six worst just shows you have no idea what actually was happening out there. Were you at the game or at the bar?

6 - McDonald - makes up for lack of natural ability with a huge heart and wonderful effort

5 - Michie - tried, with limited success but better than the rest

4 - Salem - showed some endeavour and a little of the class that we know he possesses

3 - Grimes - gave a damn but is still so predictable under pressure

2 - Gawn - made a difference for a short time

1 - Dunn - just because

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
