Demonland Player of the Year - Round 5


Demonland

Recommended Posts

I found it extremely difficult to separate my top three.  A lot was asked of them, and they did the red and blue proud in demanding circumstances.  The next tier was also difficult, and a few were unlucky not to feature.

 6.  Oliver  

5.  Watts 

4.  Hibberd

3.  Hunt

2.  Jetta

1.  Petracca

1. Oliver 4.80 / 1st - just over Hibberd....over use of handball when a quick kick i50 will do just as much damage a high percentage of time

2. Hibberd 4.08 / 2nd

3. Watts 2.93 / 11th - no hit out stats included but a 2.93 score around the ground was only bettered by Big Maxy in Rnd 2 vs the Blues where he scored 3.28!

4. Garlett 3.73 / 8th - our only effective forward who also played a fantastic 2nd half much of it up the field, admittedly most of the good work after half time.

5. Hunt 4.03 / 3rd - ran out of steam with about 10 to go in the 3rd but was brilliant up till then.

6. T-Mac 3.95 / 4th - undid some of his solid early work in the 2nd half with some costly one on one losses but he was taking their best forward.

Michael Hibberd's terrific debut was rewarded with plenty of points but Clayton Oliver was very good too and he increases his lead on the progressive points table.

57. Clayton Oliver
42. Jack Watts
41. Nathan Jones
28. Jayden Hunt
23. Jeff Garlett
16. Michael Hibberd Christian Salem
13. Christian Petracca
11. Max Gawn Dom Tyson
7. Alex Neal-Bullen

The first four were easy (although ordering them was hard). The last two were near impossible to identify.

6. Hibberd

5. Oliver

4. Hunt

3. Watts

2. Melksham (yes, truly)

1. Vince (yes, truly)

Viney was great in the first quarter, Petracca struggled manfully and creatively in patches, and Tom McDonald was good when he wasn't actually anywhere near Jack Reiwoldt.

Incredible to see that Viney does not have a single vote, what a strange year he is having so far.

Watched the game AGAIN on replay. Oliver was a bull but ineffective in disposals. 30 plus possessions but should use handballs more wisely

 10 turnovers... ouch.

He can be a Star but needs to run and deliver. The kid must be taught how to use his power. His extract to GARLETT  showed his ability.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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,
