Oliver doesn't exactly deserve a vote but there's no one else and he at least continued to put his body on the line through the four quarters. His kicking was deplorable though.

6 - Oscar - You knew from the first play when he ducked back behind his man to allow Georgiades space to run forward that this was his night. The comical stuff from the slowest player in the league continued when he avoided making a play just outside the goalsquare  in the third term.

5 Pickett - Goody loves this guy and it's not hard to see why. Two goals in six games since the break - the same as Cody Weightman - except that's right, Cody was rested. Why. Perhaps Goody could ask Bevo why it's best to temper your excitement with a new toy.

4 Jackson - Action Jackson was everywhere and nowhere. Another kid who needed a break. But no we'll play him against the top side for his development.

3 Oliver - A week off via the tribunal will deprive all of us his exquisite kicking skills and also his favourite game of setting up a mate with a 2m handball. Best thing for him at moment is to sit up in the coaches box and see how a game flows.

2 Brayshaw - The world's best wingman with amazing leg-speed. No wonder the coach won't play him in the middle.

1 Hannan -  Another who needed a break after a fumbly game against Brissy, but go figure. Let's play him again.

While these guys were all eye-catching, the blame falls way more on the coach for not having read the signs that a four-day break might actually require some changes with fresh players.

As evidenced by my votes, I reckon our defense stood up reasonably well, given the speed and frequency that the ball was coming in.

Agree - it wasn’t the defence.  It’s the ridiculous skill errors by our midfield.  All of them.

Very very tempted to bunk this one off. However this is a serious award and deserves serious effort unlike what the boys served up.

6. Hibbo. Purely for touching that kick on the line to save us from another laughing stock blooper to add to the ever-growing MFC reel. At least he showed desperation at times.

I honestly couldn't find 6 players who held their own last night. One of the worst performances I have seen, an absolute train wreck.

AFL website report says Dees best were May, Salem, Gawn and Hibberd. Salem ???  They must have watched a different game. He put other teammates under pressure , missed tackles and went half stepped at the footy. Got caught too often.  Metres gained 150.

6. Gawn (although nowhere near his best game)

1. Salem (but what has happened to his kicking? Or, in BT speak, his ability as the "best distributor of the ball"?)

It wasn't easy finding those six. The rest were shambolic, except for Sparrow who I considered for the last vote.

Salem was garbage last night. The writer must have like his bleached hair because he literally did nothing all night.

    Demonland Trackwatchers ventured down to Gosch's Paddock for the final week of training for the 1st to 4th Years until they are joined by the rest of the senior squad for Preseason Training Camp in Mansfield next week.

Seston, and Howes did a lot of boundary running, and Tom Campbell continued his work with individual trainer in non-MFC

    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
