Demonland Player of the Year - Round 2


Demonland

Recommended Posts

6 - Salem (was great when we needed him to be)

5 - Oliver (terrific again especially in the 1st & last quarters)

4 - T-Mac (solid all day and set up a lot of attacks)

3 - Jetta (was very good all day)

2 - Garlett (3 goals and was a danger to their defence throughout)

1 - Jones (lifted when required)

Others who could have featured include Tyson (prolific) ,  Harmes (hard at it),  Hunt (used his pace well),  Stretch & Watts were also good at times. 

It's also interesting to note the players who could have ordinarily been expected to receive votes ... Gawn,  Lewis,  Hogan,  Viney,  Petracca & Brayshaw.  Gawn actually played quite well but we're now expecting him to dominate.

6 Salem (Wow what a first half and kept tackling and hitting targets by foot all day).

5 Jones (reliable, kicked goals and broke lines with his kicking)

4 T-Mac (I know the zone means he didn't have Weitering all the time, but when he did, it was man v boy)

3 Garlett (I bet he loved fixing up his old side - Will Docherty ever recover?)

2 Watts (Timid early but once he got into the ruck his confidence grew and he is still the best kick in the side)

1 Jetta (How about the bump on Kreuzer. He was brill all day with his attack on the ball)

Sorry Clayton but you were a cancer early going backwards almost every time you got it and when it comes to the key stat you lost 10-5 in clearances to Cripps. Don't worry i still rate you as the most likely superstar in our side, but you have legs, you can kick and you can go forward some times and take responsibility for setting up our offence.

In line with something I posted in the Oliver thread, it is ridiculously over the top to describe Oliver's game as a cancer. Reckon we'd have been better off without his 35 disposals and 9 tackles do you?

I realise that everyone has opinions but leaving Jetta out of the best six is ridiculous.

Not really. I never do votes until I have a chance to watch the replay so I might change my mind, but at the game I felt Jetta was good, but I didnt have him in the best. (my best are actually very close to @demon9). Just because he plays his role doesnt mean he gets a spot in the best every week, seems some just add him in because everyone loves him. His value to the team is undeniable! but it's not a crime to have him out of the best doesn't automaticly mean we think he is the worst. Really I think Oscar played his role just as well as jetts did, I dont see a single vote for him. People seem to look for the best in Jetta and the worst in Oscar. 
(For the record I wouldn't have Oscar in the best, but I dont think he was worse than Jetta)

Agree on Jetta. Due to our larger midfield brigade getting back, Jetta is getting a lot of uncontested possessions and intercept marks as he doesn't have to stay strictly on his man. This gives the appearance that he's having a blinder where he's actually more just like a loose man in defense. Still a good consistent player and definitely in the top 8 players for us yesterday.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    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
