Demonland Player of the Year - Round 1

[dees_rule_4eva 22]

Not sure if any one really deserves votes after yesterday, but for what its worth here are the players I thought were not as insipid as the rest.

6 - Paul Johnson - probably the only really big positive to take out of the game. He rucked better than White, and did much more around the ground than White. Gives me hope that he may be able to serve us well. I'm a fan.

5 - Nathan Jones - tries his heart out week in week out. Was one of the only players to put his body on the line.

4 - Brock McLean - also put his body on the line, and so he should after all the dramas he put the club through in pre season.

3 - Brent Moloney - because he put his body in.

2 - Cale Morton - see above. And thats quite a thing when you are as slight as Cale.

1 - Brad Green - for no other reason than he got a bit of the ball.

[Maybe next year 170]

6 - Paul Johnson (for reasons you said)

5 - Brent Moloney - tried all day

4 - Nathan Jones - tried all day

3 - Brock McCLean - for his 2nd and 3rd quarters

2 - Brad Green - ran all day to improve his fitness for next week

1- The umpires - gave us some free kicks we did not deserve

[demondomination 27]

6 -Paul Johnson, by far the shining light.

5 - Brent Moloney. Looked good.

4- Nathan Jones, was Ok.

3- Brock Mclean. Doesnt deserve it, but yeeeeee.

2-Cale Morton- because he got a game under his belt.

1- Paul Wheatley- got the equal least time on ground, which means he is the least responsible for the loss. aha

Gee I like what I see with Cale. He's a tough bugger and he made a mockery of his older teammates yesterday. I bet he's glad he was drafted by Melbourne.

[beelzebub 23,392]

Paul Johnson -2

Cale Morton -1

thats it... thsoe other bastards can EARN their votes !!

The Demonland Player of the Year 2008 is now open for voting.

It's the same deal as last year (except that this year we are weighting player's scores by the team's percentage in a particular game).

The first three serious selections on a 6,5,4,3,2,1 basis with best player getting six will be accepted as official votes for Round 1.

I tried, but couldn't come up with 6 players worth giving votes to. Good luck to whoever braves this task.

6 - Jones

2 - Garland

1 - Morton

For better or worse.......

6. Jones

5. Johnson

4. Morton

3. McLean

2. Miller

1. Green

[Whispering_Jack 31,365]

Last year's winner Nathan Jones has continued from where he left off last year. He topped our Round 1 votes but the bad news is that because our percentage from the game was 32.5%, his votes were weighted down by that poor percentage. Our leaders are:-

4.55 Nathan Jones

4.225 Paul Johnson

3.9 Brock McLean

2.925 Brent Moloney

1.95 Brad Miller

1.625 Cale Morton

0.65 Colin Garland

0.325 Simon Buckley

0.325 Brad Green

Had the game been a draw, our percentage would have been 100% and he would have received 14 votes. The moral of the astory is to do well when the team wins well (hallelujah).

6) - PJ - Made the least amount of mistakes. Good overhead marks. Looked like half a footballer (as compared to 18 or 19 other MFC clowns) Perhaps should be first ruckman next week as a reward.

5) - Jones - Already on his way to a B&F win. Disapointed he missed the first goal of the game (when he snapped out on the full). Could've given us some impetus. Always puts in but unfortunetly doesn't have silky skills. Deserves 5 or 6 votes.

4) - Green - Cheeky and sneaky 4 votes (any other game he wouldn't deserve votes), but kicked a couple of goals, fought the game out well and looked like our most skilled player out there. Suggestions of his demotion to Sandy is silly.

3) Mclean - gets votes purely because he was our highest disposal getter (26). Looks like he's turned into a dull & ordinary player, which is heart-breaking. I want his 2006 back!

2) Moloney - At least had a go and has a bit of mongral, but his disposal was often garbage and gave away frees.

1) Morton - Deserves some best and fairest votes for a couple of gutsy efforts - considering his slight frame.

Buckley was listed in the best in the Heraldsun, so perhaps apologies to him. I liked his willingness to take the opposition on, but wouldn't get a game for anyone else.

2- running out of players - Simon Buckley. only bloke looked like breaking the lines and taking them on.

I've merged the two threads we had running on this topic.

Our nominated vote givers for Saturday's game v. Western Bulldogs are the first three in this thread:-

• dees_rule_4eva

• Maybe next year

• demondomination

But you must have your votes placed on the site by midnight on Saturday night.

Good luck and hopefully, your votes will weigh a lot more than Sunday's votes!

So demonland poy now rewards player who play well in victories, not players who work hard even when we are getting smashed? its an interested concept and i look forward to seeing how it pans out at the end of the year...

[Demon4Life 603]

So if I understand correctly, only three people's votes are considered? Or am I misunderstanding how this works

garland had a shocker???

[Dee Dee 1,145]

Well I've thought about it since Sunday and for me it's:

6: Johnson

5: Jones

4: Moloney

3: Morton

2: Green

1: Weetra (because he tried)

That's how it's been since we started. Three different people every week and when we play interstate our preference is for three people who attend the game to cast the votes.

Not exactly but the rationale is that points earned are worth more when the whole team plays well. Who was to know that in our first game we'd be so shyzen?

so why do people keep on giving their votes long after the first three posts?
