DEMONLAND PLAYER OF THE YEAR - Round 4


Demonland

Recommended Posts

6.  Watts:  Jack has arrived, and there's no better way for him to confirm his arrival than against the filth.

5.  Viney: Ferocious at the ball and man.  Simply bleeds red & blue, and might heading for AA selection.

4.  N. Jones:  Getting back to his best, and we all know how good that is!

3.  Gawn:  The linchpin for our emerging midfield.  Another excellent game in the ruck and at critical times around the ground.

2.  Wagner:  Surprised me and lots of others around here.  Calm under pressure and took the game on.  Easy to see him as a 'regular' on that performance.

1.  Lumumba:  Getting back to the form we recruited him for.  His run from defence suits our new game style to a tee.

Unlucky: Great team effort today, but a few like T.Mac. Tyson, Pedersen deserve a special mention.

6. Watts - First goal set the scene as did his first half. Just needs to put 2 of those together to finish! Solid 2nd also though

5. Viney - The Rampaging Bull. 10 Clearances. Not sure how many of those were effective. Needs to be more aware though when he gets a free or a mark as to whether/when to play on. . Cost us at least 2 sure fire forward entries today by playing on unnecessarily which resulted in turnovers and Pie goals to give them back some momentum. Those two missed entries could have sealed the game much earlier IMO.

4. Tyson - Solid. Still a little slow to decide what he's going to do. A split second in speeding this up and making better choices and he becomes a very damaging mid.

3. Pedersen - Solid and reliable. Put body on the line in the clinches also and ran hard all day. 2 critical goals.

2. Kent - Spread well, ran hard and provided solid options on the outside. Much needed on the vast expanses of the G for some team balance. 5 i50s, 6 tackles and a goal. Nice come back from the Bombers horror match Deano. Just reduce the clangers pls....5 today.

1. LUMUMBA! - The run, the carry, the breaking of lines! The eyes down hitting targets coming i50 on at least 2 occasions! Something i've rarely seen from a Demon HB of late. Ty Mr Lumumba. Keep it up son. Love it.

Apologies to Gawn (who i thought won the first half soundly but was matched or beaten in large sections of 2nd half. Took some solid clunks though) Bugg, Wagner, Salem and Jetta

6. Viney was manic all day at the pill, continually got smashed but kept fighting through. 

5. Gawn continually clunked some grabs around the ground getting us out of trouble. God help us if he goes down.

4. Jetta. I simply loved him destroying Fasolo and his rebound is becoming first class. Continually kicks well from defence. 

3. Watts has to get in slotting four. 

2. N Jones. Bless his heart. 

1. Lumumba. Provided some fantastic run today and is finally lowering his eyes hitting targets. Got pinned a couple times also that frustrated but that's going to happen with how he plays

6. Viney: heart of a lyon

5. Watts: He always had, just needed some confidence

4. Gawn: Kept on going even with the soon to be illegal 3rd up

3. Jones: One of the great captains in the industry

2. Salem: Composed and brilliantly stable

1. Wagner: The Beatles called him the Everywhere Man

Exactly. Grundy was very good.

I don't get the lack of love for Bugg. 30 touches and 9 tackles

Gadammit! I was totally saving that joke for a game when both McDonalds were playing.

It was just sitting there waiting to happen. Plus with Oscar KO'd that might take a while.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
