7 - Sportsbet

6 - Jones. Thought his teammates made him look like [censored] in the first half. He killed the 2nd half  

5 - Garlett. Perfect small forward game and racked up touches. 

4 - Oliver. I'm confused why he wasn't in the middle/on the ground more. 

3 - Hibberd. 

2 - Harmes.

1 - Pedo. For effort and for being the only bloke that could hit a target in the first half. 

 

Special mention to ANB for playing footy like Dane Swan for 10 minutes and driving momentum.

First time poster very long time reader but here goes:

6 - Garlett. 5 goals, enough said

5 - Jones, turned the game

4 -Hibberd, not sure he had a bad disposal. His awareness is first class

3 - Melksham, easily his best game for us. He was fantastic and loved his aggression

2 - Oliver, in 30 years of following our great club I have never seen a better kid. Unlucky to only get 2 votes.

1 - Pedersen. Massive effort around the ground and great delivery into the forward line. A re-born footballer.

I`m staggered at the amount of people that left Oliver out of their best 6.

21 of his 28 possessions were contested (next best on the field was 14)

Also the most clearances of all players with 11. (Lyons had 9, next best was 5!)

Some posters must subscribe to the view that Oliver's disposals are overrated, as many (most) don't include him in their votes.  

With 3 games left for the round he has the most contested possessions, most centre clearances, second most total clearances, and equal second most disposals.  He gets us going with contested footy and clearances, and is pivotal to the hard run and spread.  

6 Jones

5 Garlett

4 Oliver

3 Hibberd

2 Hannan

1 Melksham

The blinkers seem to be on today. 

Of the possible 714 votes cast, Lewis gets 8 and Watts gets 1. 

They were as instrumental in turning the game in the 3rd qtr as was Jones.

I can't fathom Oliver's common omission. Slow to work his way into the game (and started on the bench?), but was instrumental in turning it from the middle. 21 contested possessions and 11 clearances - along with opening up space for numerous scoring chains - what team has everyone been watching to think this is some sort of luxury?

6.  Jones  -  Led from the front and turned the game.

5.  Garlett  -  Excellent small forward game with goals and pressure.  Probably best game for the Dees.

4.  Hibberd  -  Has become a mainstay of our defence.

3.  Oliver  -  Another top-notch performance.  Not far off being the clearance king of the comp.

2.  Frost  -  Held (arguably) the best KPF in the game and is becoming a weapon off HB.

1.  Hannan  -  X factor and growing in confidence each week.  Another tick for our recruitment team.

Apologies:   Lewis, Melksham, Harmes, Tyson

I'm also loving what Frost is bringing to the table. However, it was our midfield's ability to deny GCS forward entries that helped Frost keep Lynch quiet in the second half. However, his trajectory is looking positive.

Voting is very subjective and people are always,looking to give their favourite a vote but I see Oliver didn't rate a single vote with some? Either I was watching the wrong game or know nothing about footy. The Brownlow votes will probably be 3. Jones, 2 Oliver, 1. Garlett but wouldn't be surprised to see Oliver get the 3.

I'm glad my votes are too late to be included because my viewing platform was worse than TV - it was streaming on my phone. But I guess that's better than nothing.

6 - Garlett

5 - Jones

4 - Melksham

3 - Oliver

2 - Hibberd

1 - Lewis

Watts and Tyson were also in consideration.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    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.

    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.
