Interesting how Kerridge was hot property preseason (and has continued to work extremely hard) but it's Matthew Wright who is 130 points ahead of him.  I really like Wright. He's honest and hard at it.

I like them both, but I certainly agree with you.

I can understand. Both Kerridge and Wright have been strong contributors each week. Good value for our trading last year.

Round 9: Carlton vs North Melbourne
Alas, we fell back to Earth with a bang. Not overly surprising with the structural difficulties our present injuries have created. Nobody to really challenge Goldstein, which was basically the difference in the game.

Naturally, there were not as many voters this week: logistics did not suit with us not on TV. Nor are we on TV this week, but....
The overall rating this week was 6.69, almost a perfect D-. To be expected when we lose by 10 goals. :(
Again the votes were well spread: 14 different players managed to get at least 1 vote. A positive sign for our future.

Votes:
Docherty, Sam 301
Byrne, Ciaran 189
Gibbs, Bryce 145
Kerridge, Sam 119
Cripps, Patrick 59
Plowman, Lachlan 59
Sumner, Liam 45
Murphy, Marc 37
Wright, Matthew 15
Jones, Liam 15
Thomas, Dale 7
Curnow, Edward 4
Tuohy, Zach 4
Armfield, Dennis 4

Docherty has opened up a small break between him, in 1st place, and the rest of the pack. However, there is nothing unassailable in his lead.

Rd 10: Carlton vs Geelong:
A win for the ages, that showed how much improvement we have made so far. I wish I had been there. :( At least it happened!

There were 22 voters this week, perhaps a little less than I would have expected from such a great win, but almost twice what we were getting for much of last year. Thank you, voters! Without you, this would award would be pointless.
The rating this week averaged out at 9.97: close enough to an A for it not to matter and the best we have seen for a long time.
There were 13 different players who deserved and received votes; an impressive effort at the best of times, but becoming typical over the last 6 weeks. May this trend continue!

Votes:
Gibbs, Bryce 432
Docherty, Sam 266
Curnow, Edward 161
Everitt, Andrejs 161
Kreuzer, Matthew 119

Cripps, Patrick 62
Rowe, Sam  57
White, Simon 38
Simpson, Kade 33
Tuohy, Zach 24
Walker, Andrew 24
Casboult, Levi 5

Unlike recent weeks, opinion fell firmly in favour of Bryce Gibbs this week, whose performance in the absence of captain Marc Murphy was excellent. There are claims that Gibbs is now in Brownlow contention!

Round 11: Carlton vs Brisbane
I read with a smile that Jonathon Brown's daughter has decided to barrack for Carlton because we have made such an impression this year. Well we managed to do the job.
The rating this week was an exact 9.00, the first time I have seen it come out as whole number. This is a B, probably a reasonable opinion considering how we played.
We had 23 voters this week, a solid turnout. One the other hand, 13 players managed to get a vote, another week where we had a lot of contributors. I like that at the best of times. It shows that we are not dependent of a small number of players.

Votes:
Curnow, Edward 360
Weitering, Jacob 275
Kerridge, Sam 232
Tuohy, Zach 107
Armfield, Dennis 78
Cripps, Patrick 70
Docherty, Sam 64
Lamb, Jed 64
Simpson, Kade 39
Plowman, Lachlan 18
Rowe, Sam 16
White, Simon 14
Gorringe, Daniel 8

Curnow, Weitering and Kerridge were clearly the 3 best performed players, but after that there were a number of efforts that attracted attention.

Progressives:
1903 - Docherty, Sam (0)
1791 - Gibbs, Bryce (0)
1279 - Curnow, Edward (0)
1268 - Cripps, Patrick (0)

8 - Gorringe, Daniel (0)
6 - Buckley, Dylan (0)
3 - Whiley, Mark (0)

Docherty and Gibbs still have a reasonable lead, but there is a strong pack following, with 5 players over 1000 and another, Murphy, not far off. Weitering continues to impress and is getting close to the 1000 himself.
Live Long and Prosper!

I let things run on a little this week: no real hurry when this round is our Bye. However, all good things must come to an end. :( Literally, alas.

This week we had 2 less voters than we did this time last year. Conisidering that this was one of our worse performances of the year and last year's game was a gutsy win, I can understand why. However, we still managed 17 voters.
The rating was back to very low levels this round: 5.94, which is almost an E. definitely down from the heady levels of a couple of week's back.
In some ways we looked burnt out. It was probably a good time to have a Bye. However, 13 different players managed to attract a vote. Under Malthouse that number would have been more like 9.

Votes:
Docherty, Sam 280
Simpson, Kade 183
Thomas, Dale 145
Wright, Matthew 114
Rowe, Sam 38

Curnow, Edward 30
Kerridge, Sam 24
Lamb, Jed 17
Tuohy, Zach 10
Casboult, Levi 9
Cripps, Patrick 7
Gibbs, Bryce 2

Docherty lead all comers for the 4th time this season. He has had only 1 game outside the top 10 on the field.

Silvagni, Jack We could be voting for this guy before the Election. He is getting very close.

Docherty has consolidated his lead over Gibbs, with another significant break to Cripps and Simpson. However, I wouldn't be engraving his trophy yet. There is a fair way to go yet! :)

He'd be up there for the John Nicholls medal at the moment too.

Much of what he does is the celebrated amongst defenders but often not noticeable work amongst the masses.

Round 14: Carlton vs GWS in Sydney
Alas, GWS powered their way into the top 4 with a win against us. There were even a few guys trying for positions on our list in 2017. :) However, we tried hard but were beaten. We probably didn't deserve to be beaten by 10 goals, but they can kick them while we are still learning.
I did not vote this round. I didn't see any of the game. Nor was I alone. The only coverage was on pay TV, so the number of voters was down considerably. We had 1 less than for the same round last year.
Our rating, on the other hand, was not that bad. It shows that we were playing a team with a huge amount of talent. The rating was 7.29, basically a D+. Not that bad at all for a 10 goal loss.
There was a reasonable spread of votes: 10 different players managed votes without my extra sharing style. :)

Votes:
Gibbs, Bryce 306
Docherty, Sam 248
White, Simon 175
Wright, Matthew 155
Curnow, Edward 58

Docherty has about a one top game lead over Gibbs at this point. Difficult to make up when both guys are doing well most weeks. Behind them comes a group of 3 that are very close (around the 1300 votes), followed by another significant gap to Murphy and Weitering. Our relatively ordinary form since Murphy was injured suggests that we may struggle a little to get many A+ rankings soon, even though the spread of vote getters is a real positive.

At the moment Docherty and Gibbs would be the top contenders for the John Nicholls Medal as well.

Round 15: Carlton vs Collingwood and not the result we all wanted. Such is life.
To lose as we did shows how much we have improved: we were so much down compared to some of or recent performances and still failed by only 2 goals.

It wasn't a big week for voter numbers either. Probably exhausted by voting in the General Election. That said, 15 people voted, 2 more than this time last year.
The rating this week was 6.51, a value between a D- and an E+. Probably a reasonable result considering.
15 players managed to get votes, which does show that we are not depending on the same small cohort each week. Simmo was the clear favourite this week. There was also a significant difference between the top 3 vote getters and the rest.

Docherty maintained his lead this week, while Gibbs managed to solidify 2nd place. Simmo moved forward into a distinct 3rd, but it is still pretty close between 3rd and 5th.
Behind these guys there hasn't been a lot of activity recently. Murphy hasn't been around to get a vote for weeks, yet his 6th spot remains.

Rd 16: Carlton vs Adelaide
This was one of our most disappointing performances for the year in which we failed because we didn't believe we could win and we butchered the ball more than at any other time. 11 turnover goals against us said it all. Considering that they kicked 16 for the match..... :(

The ordinary crowd, where our supporters were outnumbered by Adelaide fans, was another very negative factor.

As a result, we had very few voters this week: less than half of what we had 6 weeks ago. It was, in fact, just as many as we had last year, during one of the most disappointing periods in our history.
The rating was correspondingly poor, 6.05. That is an E.

Votes:
Armfield, Dennis 252
Docherty, Sam 204
Simpson, Kade 146
Rowe, Sam 104
Gibbs, Bryce 92
Tuohy, Zach 61
Cripps, Patrick 46
Plowman, Lachlan 12
Kerridge, Sam 10
White, Simon 7
Curnow, Edward 5
Sumner, Liam 5
Weitering, Jacob 2

That said, 13 players managed to attract votes. This is a positive trend and has been so all year. It does suggest that Bolton is making a difference: instead of each round being dominated by one or 2 players, we have serious contributions from a significant portion of the team.

Armfield's 4 excellent goals gained him the top spot this week. However, all of our defenders got a mention.

Marc Murphy is still firmly in control of 6th spot: a source of serious worry.

Round 17: Carlton vs West Coast

An improved performance in many ways. And it was very clear in the voting pattern, where 18 people voted this week, a 50% increase on the number of voters compared to this time last year.
The overall rating was 7.89, a significant improvement over last week's effort. This represents a score between a C and a C-.
The votes were well spread this week, as a number of players produced some promising efforts. 16 different players got a mention.

Simpson, Kade 305
Docherty, Sam 276

Round 18: Carlton vs Sydney in Sydney
For the 2nd week in a row we fail by not much. You have to be impressed with a lot of our game, to take these teams to the edge. But I want to beat these zeroes!

We had 16 voters this week: 5 more than the same time last year. Considering that few of us saw the game live, that is a solid effort.
A rating of 8.50 is very solid, between a C+ and a B-. This is about as good as a loss can be rated.
12 different players got a mention this week, continuing the trend of large number of contributors.

Docherty has opened a 500 vote lead over Gibbs, who has a 300 vote lead over 3rd place Simpson. Cripps and Ed Curnow are very close in 4th and 5th spots, but Murphy, who hasn't played for weeks, still holds 6th place.
