How is Jetta not getting any mention here? For mine, there were only three players who put in the required effort all day: Kennedy, Jetta and Garlett. Garlett didn't get much of it but at least tried to get involved. Kent and Harmes, for example, didn't even look like they wanted to get a disposal.

So I'd have:

6 - Kennedy

5 - Jetta

4 - Garlett

3 - N Jones

2 - Tyson

1 - Vince

N Jones, Tyson and Vince don't actually deserve praise but they're the three least-bad players of the remaining 19.

Surely this is a case of different standards for different players.

Vince had 28 disposals at 78%, 7 marks, 4 tackles. Jones had 29 disposals, 8 clearances and 7 inside 50s. Neither were polished but they busted a gut.

Of Jetta's 12 disposal game I mostly remember the needless arm across the shoulder when the ball was going through for a point which cost a goal.

Temper the love. He didn't have a standout day.

A surprise leader after round 2

 

29 Ben Kennedy

21 Nathan Jones

19 Jack Viney

14 Bernie Vince

10 Jack Watts

9 Jeff Garlett Tom McDonald

6 Clayton Oliver Dom Tyson

3 Matt Jones

2 Max Gawn

This may be a stupid question, but how does the scoring work? I see Kennedy has 29, yet he received way more than 29 votes in this thread alone.

May as well give it to him now, don't see anyone else putting in an effort like he does.

Certainly one positive after the loss is the continuous rise of Ben Ken. He has pace, good skills, kicks goals and can seriously play. Has a bit of mongrel about him as well. Awesome recruit so far.

I think he takes a random sampling of the posts each week.  This would give a balance of fairness and not requiring too much maths and effort to make work.  It would probably be better to average the scores across all votes posted, but that's going to wind up being a massive pain to do every week.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
