Demonland Player of the Year - Round 16


Demonland

Recommended Posts

6 Oliver - With his best three clearance support acts missing, he had to step up and he did in a big way and before Cripps left as well).

5 Frost - He reminds me more of Sean Wight (circa 1987) every day. 

4 TMac - Can those who used to reckon he couldn't kick please head to church confession now.

3 Neal-Bullen - Horror start but kept buttering up and that's why he will play finals if we make it.

2 Petracca - The best hips since Brian Wilson and unlike Willo, he can kick a long ball as well as clear packs.

1 Jetta - Great final play and once again showed he can play on bigs and smalls.

Apologies Wags (great first half), Hunt (super disallowed goal), Jordy (Boo, who!) and Bernie (did Gibbs play?).

Interesting votes.  Murphy got a 5 and a 4.  No other player got more than five which means the coach who gave Murphy 4 gave either Curnow, TMac and Trac 5.  The other coach didn't think they were in the top 5 players.

Am I missing something?

You are correct.

And given that each coach gave their 1 vote to separate players, we can also work out that Oliver must have got 4-0. Otherwise, there's no way to allocate the votes to two of Petracca, Curnow and Tom McDonald. Two of these players must have got a 3-2 split while the other one got a 5-0. 

So, in summary, only three players (Murphy plus two of Petracca, Curnow and Tom McDonald) scored votes from both coaches.

Amazing how differently the coaches saw it. Does anyone know if this is common for Bolton and Carlton to give votes out of whack with the other coach?

Their club doctor sees things differently.

Goodwin was effusive about Oliver in his presser, so I'd be amazed if he didn't give Oliver the 4.

Either coach would find it hard to ignore Tom McDonald's 4 goals, so my other guess would be Petracca getting 5 from Bolton.

Strange stuff this week for sure.

In the scenario where Goodwin gave Oliver 4 votes, that means he gave Murphy BOG as Bolton is the only one who can give Murphy 4 votes. That leaves Bolton thinking one of T Mac, Petracca or Curnow was BOG and the other coach allocating no votes to that player.

Surely Goodwin gave T Mac votes. In the above scenario I'd safely rule him out. Petracca is a curious choice but Curnow even moreso. It seems very much a Bolton type move giving out an "encouragement award", so it's certainly possible, but would be the oddest choice of all. 2 goals and 19 possessions isn't usually a BOG performance. But would Bolton have really given Petracca BOG? I doubt it. So in this scenario all three seem unlikely, although Curnow is possible as Bolton is a bit of an oddball.

In the scenario where Bolton gave Oliver 4 votes and Goodwin gave him zero (also strange), that means it's likely Goodwin thought either T Mac or Petracca was BOG and Bolton gave them zero. Both odd for different reasons. Odd if Bolton gave T Mac no votes, and slightly odd if Goodwin thought Trac was BOG.

Jetta getting 1 vote is a shocker and Frost was also very stiff.

Very strange votes all round. Usually not that difficult to figure out where the votes went but not so this week.

Just wait until Gil read's out who the umpires gave the 3-2-1 to on Brownlow... that'll be strange stuff indeed!

Petracca's numbers were good and opposition coaches and commentators are enamoured with him so its possible...

  My guess is this. No other makes sense

 

 

I just find it unlikely that one of the coaches ignored TMac's performance altogether - he was clearly the standout key forward on the day.

I think I prefer ProDee's breakdown although I'd like to see it spelled out (as you have) to make sure it adds up - too lazy to do it myself though.

You could fix that by simply switching "Bolton" and "Goodwin".

Though if you do that, I'd suggest swapping Jetta and Kreuzer as well.

Yeah except I don't see Bolton giving Petracca BOG. It's possible I guess,

I've invested way too much time into this today :wacko:

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
