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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
