I was at a Christening unfortunately today.

SEN had Bruce as our best and only winner for the number he did on Stevens. Yet he's not recognised as I post.

Hmmm

no votes so far for Bruce? Apart from that kick, thought he was easily one of our best

Agree with you:

McLean 6

Green 5

McDonald 4

Bruce 3

Frawley2

Whelan 1

6. Green

6. Sylvia

1. Rivers

Sylvia beat Fisher created of half back then did OK in the last up forward. Mclean would have been best but considering the impact of Judd he had to be put down a liitle.

Why am I getting singled out? Plenty other people gave him 6.

Besides, if you think McLean got destroyed by Judd, you have obviously never seen Judd on fire. Faster, more experienced players have suffered much worse at the hands of Chris Judd. His 3 goals were very influential, as was some of his forward delivery, but he certainly didn't rip us apart like I have seen him rip us apart before.

McLean had a huge job to do. To his credit he didn't go too defensive, and still got plenty of his own ball, while at the same time limiting Judd to the best of his ability. McLean more than held his own in the clearances, but obviously struggled for pace in the one on one situations.

Very few, if any, can stop Judd, and not many find themselves amongst the top possession winners while playing against him.

I would love to give green 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 votes but it is against the rules. My votes are:

6 - Green (you guessed it) - he tries his guts out and i hope they leave him on the HF line

5 - Rivers - has the smarts

4 - Austin - his chasing was great today and is one of the best disposals in the team

3 - McDOnald - primarily for the chase down

2- Bruce - easily accounted for Stevens

1 - Bartram - would have like to see him on Judd

Mclean was well beaten by Judd - cannot give him votes. For those who thought Judd did not rip us apart, in the words of "The Castle", tell them they're dreaming

Judd having a good game and his opponent having a good game are not mutually exclusive. McLean went head to head with Judd, and came out second best (because Judd is a better player), but that doesn't mean his game was bad. His role was more than just "stop Judd" and I think he did a damn good job.

If the role was just "stop Judd" it would have been Bartram or McDonald playing on him, not our best ball winner.

Off the ball, Judd killed him and he was probably only running at about 70-80%.

McLean wasn't bad, but Judd is in a league of his own.

if he got 'destroyed' why did you give him 3 votes?

judd is in his own league yes. but that isnt a reason why not to give mclean votes. the issue here is 'who were our best players' not 'how good was judd?'

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    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.
