I haven't seen a single minute of this one, which is a huge pity. Hopefully we can repeat the does to the Meat Pies on Friday night
It is time again to reward some lucky players for their hard work. There should be a considerably larger spread of votes as well, with a good win (though I am sure that at half time opinions would have been very different).
Remember:
[1] At least 3 players need to get a mention.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player.
[3] Give a rating of team performance. It can be anywhere from A+ to F. (I won't be an F this week! ;D ;D ;D)
[4] Votes must add up to 15.
Time to reward OUR ANZAC Day heroes.
I don't normally vote when I don't see anything of the game. However, I do wish to put in my 2 cents worth under the circumstances.
I have based my votes solely on the statistics, which is also something I usually avoid. But, for once, the stats tell a very positive story.
There will be no reasonable explanations this week though, as every thought I have had comes only from the raw stats. I do apologize if my opinions vary considerably to those who were lucky enough to be at the Cake Tin, or were lucky enough to have Pay TV.
Team: B
I was tempted to give a B+, but with such a ineffective start I couldn't justify anything more.
Votes:
[3] Murphy
[2.5] Cripps
[2] Bell
[2] Henderson
[1.5] Everitt
[1.5] Tuohy
[1] Walker
[1] Carrazzo
[0.5] Wood
Explanations:
[3] Murphy 34 possessions, named BOG, winning the medal and getting 24 contested possessions, the 2nd most in Carlton records. 11 tackles to top it off.
[2.5] Cripps More than 30 possessions, 23 of them contested (4th best ever for a Blue).
[2] Bell Goals, possessions and judos from the scribes. I am sorry I missed this effort.
[2] Henderson 5 goals and a dominant display on the forward line.
[1.5] Everitt According to the stats, Everitt was our 2nd best performer. His possessions hit the target.
[1.5] Tuohy 25 possessions, marks tackles and even a couple of goals.
[1] Walker Lots of ball.
[1] Carrazzo Considering that he had hardly got hold of the ball in the first half, he ended up high in the possessions. he also had a defensive job, which was excellent after half time (his man had very few touches after half time).
[0.5] Wood Lots of taps and 16 possessions suggests he did pretty well.
Honourable Mentions:
I cannot say which of rest deserve a mention, so I will leave this blank this week. if I had to suggest someone I would suggest Blaine Boekhorst, who started well, but ran out of gas and Dennis Armfield, who had 10 possessions after half time. But....
