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.

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.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
