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.

5.  Jones  -  consistent ball winner in the clinches and used it well .  Great leadership

4.  Oliver  -  prolific, but skills a bit off compared to last week.

3.  Jetta  -  tough and unrelenting.  Neat disposal.

2.  Garlett  -  sharp and quick and developing his defensive game

1.  TMac  -  very reliable and used it well

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
