Welcome to the 2021 version of the Jim Park Analysis thread. Thank you to all those people who have voted already. I have already updated the spreadsheet, so thing will be ready.
At the moment, I expect to close the Voting thread for Round 1 on Thursday, as we play the Meat Pies on Thursday night. Just wish I could be there: Parent teacher interviews, via the web, no less. Pity I can't do that at the MCG! :)
Carlton vs Richmond: Rd 1 Nightmare:
We started the year as we have now for too long, with the loss to Richmond. I hate that.
Trends
[1] The rating of 8.44 was very high for a loss, but for the most part we were the better team. A rating of 8.44 represents between a C+ and a B-. However, we had a much higher range than is usual, with ratings varying from A(!) to E(!!!). I guess a lot of voters took into account the team we were playing, while others were simply disgusted that we had another loss in a very similar manner.
[2] We had 4 players score more than 100 Votes, with Weitering getting a 95. That suggests that we had a number of contributors.
[3] We had 14 players get a mention this week, a positive sign. A couple more and the result …
[4] We had 16 voters this week, which is quite high for a loss. It was 4 more than for the corresponding game last year.
[5] Sam Walsh started the year in fantastic form to take out the first BOG. It was good to see Cripps in the votes as well, although he does seem to be carrying some injury issues at the moment.
[6] Sam Walsh and Adam Saad got votes from every voter, the only players to do so. It was very good seeing new players in the votes.
[7] Similarly, it was nice to get Fog and Oscar McDonald get into the votes in their first outings in our colours, even with the scores being small.
[8] Pittonet was a very important player, as our sole ruckman available. Alas, a 1 vote performance suggests that he was well beaten on the night. As someone who thinks the rucks are important in getting our players first use of the ball, I saw this as a bad sign. So it proved in week 2.

Carlton vs Collingwood: Rd 2 Disappointment:
Most Carlton supporters were very disappointed with this game, as we didn't show the same intensity that we managed against Richmond for so much of that game. A huge disappointment and a question mark over our entire season.
Trends:
[1] The rating this week is considerably lower than last week at 7.1. This represents a score of barely a D. Other than 2 F’s, most of the scores were around the D mark. There simply wasn’t the difference in the way we say the game. D for Disappointment!
[2] Last week we had 4 guys who scores more than 100. This week there were only 3, although Gibbo did get 96. That appears to be a reasonable assessment: too much left to too few.
[3] We had 13 players get a mention, only one down from last week. We tend to get nearer 19 when we win.
[4] Last week we had 16 voters. This week we were down to 14, another typical result when we lose.
[5] Adam Saad managed to get top votes this week, followed closely by Sam Walsh.
[6] Adam Saad was the only player to get votes from every voter. Sam Walsh missed out on one, as did H.

AFL 2021 Rd 3: Carlton vs Fremantle
And the Blues finally open their account for 2021. Missed it live but enjoyed a lot of the replay. It is amazing how different my brain chemistry is after a win!
Trends:
[1] The rating this week is so much better than last week that the question about which Carlton team went onto the field almost becomes relevant. The overall rating was 9.19, which is almost a B+. Some of us are hard markers.
All of the ratings were from B- to A, nothing higher, nothing lower. That in itself is quite unusual, as we are a very varied bunch are rarely see the game the same way.
[2] This week we have 5 players get 100 or more votes. That in itself is good, but the lowest of those 5 scores was 172! It showed that we had some dominant players who stuck out.
[3] We still showed that we are a bunch of individuals: only 3 players got votes from all voters (Cripps, Jones and McKay). However, three other players had all but one or two voters give them a mention. This is extremely unusual for us when we vote.
[4] This round there were 16 voters, which is a little down for a considerable win. We haven’t had many considerable wins in recent years. Hopefully, we can put away a few more teams this year.
We had 17 voters for this round last year.
[5] We had 13 players get a mention this week, which is a little down on vote getters from recent times. I think it was because we had quite a number of dominant players who deserved a lot of votes, so the borderline cases missed out. There were a number of players who got Honourable Mentions, rather than votes this week.
[6] Liam Jones got his first BOG of the season with a dominant display across half back. Sam Walsh made it 3 top 2 finishes out of 3. Only 2 others, Saad and Gibbons, have managed top 10 finishes in all 3 games this year.
[7] Of our newer players, Fog has managed 11th, 5th and 5th. That is a pretty positive start for the young man.

Round 4: Carlton vs Gold Coast:
A win is a win is a win, especially after the way they destroyed Sydney.
Trends:
[1] The rating this week was 8.42, a little over a C+. That is a little lower than it has been for some of our recent wins, but maybe our expectations have gone up?
[2] This week we have 4 players who managed 100 votes or more, down from last week. But then, we played better last week.
[3] This week only one player, Ed Curnow, managed to get votes from all of the voters. There were a couple of others who polled well, but they didn’t convince everybody.
[4] There were 15 voters this week, down from 17 last week and lower than we manage for most wins. An away game? Maybe.
[5] This week we had 14 players who managed to get votes, up from 13 last week. Not as good as we were at the end of last year, but decent all the same.
[6] Ed Curnow managed his first BOG of the year. Sam Walsh had his least effective game for the year and was still 8th for us. Liam Jones backed his marvellous display last week with another strong showing to get 2nd.

Walsh has gone out to a 500 lead with another strong performance. Jones is coming 2nd at this point.
Round 5: Carlton vs Port Adelaide
A very disappointing night, but one where we didn't get flogged.
Trends:
[1] The rating this week was 5.71, a low rating indeed. That corresponds to a E- and is the lowest rating of the year so far.
[2] This week we had 2 players get 100 votes or more. We only had a couple of 4 quarter players, and this is the result.
[3] This week we had only 1 player, Sam Walsh, who managed to get votes from everyone. Jacob Weitering almost made it: 1 voter did not rate his performance.
[4] There were 14 voters this week, up from 13 for the same round last year and down from last week. Not a great surprise, the way we played.
[5] 13 players managed a mention this week, which isn’t bad, but few of them got more than a few votes. Only 2 players really stood out.
[6] Sam Walsh managed his 2nd BOG for the year, while Jacob Weitering was runner up. There was a big gap to the rest.

Walsh is about 800 ahead at this point and is a long way ahead of the pack.
Round 6: Carlton vs Brisbane
Another one of those games that we could have won, but didn't.
Trends:
[1] The rating this round was 7.07, which represents a D. It is probably a little low for a team that got so close to a certain finalist, but there is only so much heartache that we can tolerate.
[2] This round we had 4 players get more than 100 votes, a considerable improvement over the Port Adelaide game.
[3] This round we had 2 player who got votes from everybody. Two others missed by one or two voters only. Sam Walsh and H were the two that were unanimous, and they deserved their ratings with fine fines. Jones and Ed Curnow were the two that missed by a voter or two.
[4] We had 14 voters this round, down from 17 for the same round last year, but the same as last week. We won’t get many more until we start winning.
[5] There were 10 players who got a mention this week. This is very much one of the down-points for this game. We had a lot of players who didn’t make much of an impression for this round. Last week 13 players managed to get a vote in an inglorious display.
[6] Sam Walsh continued his fantastic season with his 3rd BOG result. He has been BOG in half the matches he plays, something that is Don Bradman-like. H was in the top 3 for the 3rd time this year but hasn’t cracked a BOG yet.
[7] Our bigger name recruits failed to fire again this week. That has to be a worry for our match committee. It is certainly something I do not like.

Round 8: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs:
What might have been, again. We did everything but win the damned game. Sigh!
Trends:
[1] The rating varied a lot this week. Some voters wanted to penalize the side for capitulating, while others thought we were actually close and played well for most of the game. Everyone has their opinion, one of the strengths of our voting system. The result was 7.46, which represents something between a C- and a D+. Probably a reasonable result, considering that we lost.
[2] In the view of the voters we had 3 outstanding players who got votes from everyone. There were 2 other that attracted votes from all but a couple.
[3] We had 5 players getting 100 votes or more. This sort of distribution is more common in wins than in losses.
[4] 11 players rated a mention. This is more like the voting pattern we saw a few years back. Last year more players managed a mention as we were a more even side.
[5] Jacob Weitering has his first BOG for the season. Eddie Betts was 2nd, with his first top finish for the year. H managed his 4th top 5 finish for the season.
[6] We had 13 voters this round, one up from the same round last year and one down from last week.
[7] Again, our big-name recruits did not make much of an impact. A very worrying trend in my opinion.

I seem to have missed a game somewhere. Got to fix that up.
I forgot to input the Essendon game. I'll do that later today.
Suffice to say that Walsh was BOG.
Carlton vs Drug Cheats: a nice win.
Trends:
[1] The rating of 8.94, which is effectively a B, is the 2nd highest for the year. I’m not quite sure what that says, except that we haven’t been as good as we had hoped.
[2] We had 17 Voters for this game.
[3] We had 14 players worthy of a mention this round. This is the sort of number we were getting when we were winning games last year. In 2020 we were a very even side. That had a lot of potential in it, as we didn’t depend on a small number of players.
[4] We had 6 players who managed to get 100 votes or better. This is the best spread of top votes I can remember.
[5] Sam Walsh was the stand-out player, yet again. His form this year has been nothing short of brilliant.

Rd 9: Carlton vs Melbourne
I was disappointed at the time, but our result looks pretty good now. Melbourne are good this year.
Trends:
[1] The rating for this game was 7.51, just a little less than a C-. At the time I was very disappointed, and not a little angry, but our result holds up very well. Only Adelaide (!!!) have done better.
[2] This round we had 4 players get 100 or more votes. That is pretty good for a loss, but again appeared to be pretty even.
[3] We had 3 players who got votes from every voter, with another two that missed from 2 voters.
[4] We had 13 voters this round. Not far off normal for a loss and 3 better than for the same round last year.
[5] Sam Walsh managed his 5th BOG for the year. Docherty had his best result of the year (2nd). In fact, 9 out of the top 10 vote getters were our top vote getters this week.
[6] There were 16 players who got a mention, something we usually only get for a win.

Sam Walsh is almost 1400 votes ahead at this point. Those numbers are Judd-like.
Carlton vs Hawthorn at the MCG.
The first time we've beaten them at the MCG in a long time. However, we were not convincing.
Trends:
[1] This week there was a distinct scarcity of voters. Normally for a win there are about ]17 voters. Normally for a loss, there are about 12. This was a significant win, but only 14 people bothered to vote. This is not the signs that we would like to see at all. Unfortunately, it was a measure of how underwhelming the game actually was.
[2] The rating was 8.62. almost a B-. We have performed that well this year in losses.
[3] One very positive trend on the day was that 4 players managed 100 or more votes this week. A very positive effort.
[4] Similarly, 17 players managed a mention. Both of those tend to occur only when we play particularly well.
[5] Walsh managed yet another BOG performance. For the 5th time this season.
[6] There were 3 players who got votes from every voter, with another two that were close to that.

Walsh had a 1600 lead.
Carlton vs Sydney in Sydney
This could well be the performance we liked least for this season. It scared the voters off more than any performance of recent times. That includes when we were being thrashed a year or tow back.
Trends:
[1] As noted earlier, this game really scared the voters away. Only 9 people voted, compared to 16 for the same round last year and 12 to a ‘normal’ loss. More people were voting when we were being thrashed every second week!
[2] The rating, at 7.26 (D+) was nowhere near the worst for the year. But the voters were tired of our capitulating in the last quarter. The Obvious question is: are we as fit as we are supposed to be? The answer appears to be a ‘no’.
[3] 13 players managed a mention, but there were 3 performances that stood out. 13 players is not bad, but …
[4] 4 players managed 100 or more votes, which would have been good if others had been good. However, these 4 guys managed to get almost all of the votes.
[5] 3 players managed votes from all of the voters.
[6] Cripps managed his first BOG performance of the year. Walsh was 2nd. Walsh has been in our top 2 for 9 games so far.

Carlton vs West Coast
Another disappointment. This year is littered with them.
However, the Weagles did beat Richmond the next round, so maybe it wasn't quite as bad as we thought. However, the loss did cause a Review into the entire Football Department.
Trends:
[1] There were 12 voters this round, an improvement over the last round, but not the sign of success. There were 16 votes for this round last year.
[2] The rating was a very topsy-turvy thing, but the disappointment was definite across the board. The overall rating was 6.36, which represents an E+! This is the 2nd lowest of the year.
[3] 15 players managed to get a mention, which would normally be an excellent sign. But not this week. It shows that a lot of players did something, but not enough played out the 4 quarters.
[4] 4 players managed 100 votes or more this week. This was actually pretty good.
[5] Walsh and Weitering were the top 2 again this week. If only a few more players would join them at the top.
[6] Walsh and Weitering were also the only 2 players to get votes from all of the voters this week.

I notice Walsh's progressive total is not on this week. Does this mean that we are so certain Walsh will win it this year that we have lost interest and we are now only interested in whether Weitering will be second or not. It is notable that Weitering and Walsh are going to quinella this award two years in a row.

Sorry. My error. I'll fix that. But Walsh is so far in front it isn't funny.

Walsh is almost 2000 ahead.
What is the world record for this award? Will Walsh break it?
What is the world record for this award? Will Walsh break it?
Good question. I can look through the ones I have recorded, but I can't do much about the previous ones. I'd say he is going to give top spot in my time one hell of a shake.

Cripps' 2019 season might be worth a look. He dominated everything.
Carlton vs GWS
Another huge disappointment where our players didn’t turn up. We had some good patches, but we just didn’t have the desire on the day.
Trends:
[1] With another poor effect, the voters were pushed away. Only 10 people voted. This is a very low number.
[2] The rating was 5.67, the lowest score for the year. We’ve got used to us being competitive, so this effort was poorly received. 5.67 represents an E-.
[3] Thirteen players managed to get a mention, which is reasonable, but the spread of relatives low scores represents the fact that we didn’t have a lot of winners on the day.
[4] Only 2 players managed more than 100 votes. They were Matthew Kennedy and Patrick Cripps.
[5] This was Sam Walsh’s worst game of the season, with 10th being his lowest finish and 20 being his lowest number of votes. On the other hand, it was Kennedy’s best effort by some margin and his 1st BOG.
[6] Only one player, Kennedy, managed to get votes from every voter. That says a hell of a lot. Cripps and Jones attract most voters.

Walsh retains his lead of close to 2000 votes. Weitering has solidified 2nd spot, but after that things are relatively close between 3 players.
It is just so much no9cer doing this after a win!
Carlton vs Adelaide at Marvel
After three ordinary performances in a row, it was very nice to see the Blues get over the line.
Trends:
[1] We had only 12 people voting for this game, which is hugely down for what is normal for a win. Usually when we win, we get between 17 – 19 voters. 12 voters is a number more common when we lose.
Hopefully, we can reverse that process next week.
[2] At 8.92, this win was rated among the best we have for the season. A huge increase after last week, where we as bad as we have been this season. Considering the GWS just beat Melbourne, that loss may not have been quite as bad as we first considered. A score of 8.92 is almost a B.
[3] 16 players managed a mention this week, which is a significant improvement over last week.
[4] 4 players managed more than 100 votes this week, double what we got last week. Not only that, but Sam Walsh again had a standout game that scored very highly.
[5] For the 8th time this season Sam Walsh was BOG. That is an outstanding effort. He not been outside the top 10 vote getters in any game this season.
[6] Liam Jones deserves a mention for three straight top 3 performances. He is having a fine season.
[7] 3 players got votes from every voter, Walsh, Jones and Weitering. Three others got close.
[8] Zac Williams continues his improved performances since being moved back into defence. Not yet what we were hoping for, but he is, at least, earning some of his money. Adam Saad, however, is still looking to be our best pick-up at this point. His is attracting votes and is averaging more possessions this year than in any previous one.
[9] Paddy Dow continues his resurrection, getting votes for the 3rd time in a row. This was his best effort for the year to date.

Carlton vs Fremantle at the MCG
Another solid effort against a team that had pretentions of finals action. It would have been nice if we could have managed a 4 quarter effort, but we can't have everything.
Trends:
[1] There were 16 voters this week, which 4 better than last round and 1 less than for the same round last year. Not yet back to our best, but nice to see the numbers on the up.
[2] The rating this week was 8.90, which represents a B. This is the 4th best for the season. Does this say something about our season? I think so.
[3] For the second week in a row 16 players deserved a mention. This is impressive in anyone’s language. I guess it shows that when we win, it tends to be a real team effort.
[4] 4 players managed 100 or more votes this week, also for the second week in a row.
[5] It was another Weitering-Walsh Quinella, with those players being in 1st and second spots for the 4th time this season.
[6] Four players managed to get votes from every voter, including Paddy Dow for the first time.
[7] Jack Martin continues to disappoint. Whether he is fully fit is an issue, as he hasn’t made an impact for more than a quarter. Saad, on the other hand, continues to be more than serviceable. He has been a good pick-up.

Carlton vs Geelong:
One that got away. Not our worst game, but our worst kicking.
Trends:
[1] There were 12 voters this week, which is pretty average for a loss. Last week we managed 16, but that was a win. We had 13 voters for this round last year.
[2] The rating this week was 7.72, which represents a C-. Disappointing, as we had a lot going for us. But our disposal was so ordinary.
[3] There were 11 players who managed a mention this week, which is somewhat down from last week.
[4] We had 4 players who managed 100 votes or more. Normally, this is a good sign. But this week it isn’t: it meant that we had only a couple of 4 quarter winners.
[5] It was another Weitering/Walsh quinella, where both players managed excellent scores.
[6] Only two players managed votes from every voter.

Carlton vs. Collingwood!
A win for the ages! If we played with the same heart each week, we would never lose!
Trends:
[1] Only 13 people voted this round! I found it amazing, as we beat our oldest foe, but nobody was interested in voting.
Serious, wins usually have between 17 to 19 votes. 13 is only one more than our usual for a loss!
[2] The rating, 9.36, was the highest we’ve managed this year! That represents a B+. In that, it is unusual. We usually have a couple of games each year which score an overall A. Not his time, but there are 4 rounds left.
[3] Sam Walsh was BOG again. This is the 10th time this season he’s been our BOG. Those numbers are Judd-like!
[4] There were 15 players who got a mention this week, a very solid number. A lot of players did their bit.
[5] 4 players managed 100 votes or better this week. That has been typical of our wins this year.
[6] There were 1404 votes in total this week, which is the highest for the year. This is something special, considering that only 13 people voted.
[7] Only Sam Walsh got votes from everyone this week. The other three top votes getters missed out by at least one voter.
[8] Jacob Weitering continues to have a strong season. He has only missed top 10 status for 2 games so far. Liam Stocker can celebrate five games in a row in the top 10, the only five of his career to date. Jack Silvagni has also been significant in voting of late.

Carlton vs North Melbourne
If last round was a win for the ages, this was probably the worst loss of the year. North were on the bottom. However, with the injuries we have, the result was not that ridiculous: it just hurt!
Trends:
{1] Only 7 people bothered to vote this round, but far the lowest I can ever recall. We usually get about 12 voters when we lose, but this was something else. This round last year we had 18 voters.
[2] That said, it was not the lowest rating of the year. 5.93 might not be a great rating, but it is higher than higher than it was in two earlier games. And it was not the lowest number of votes. The rating represents an E.
[3] Four players managed 100 + votes, but none of the scores was particularly high. When we win, someone usually get 300+. Top votes this round was just 153.
[4] Congratulations to Jack Silvagni for his first BOG. His recent form has been nothing short of excellent.
[5] 12 players managed a mention this round, which is not that bad. Unfortunately, many didn’t get many votes. SPS was dropped after garnering 13 votes.
[6] Two players, Cripps and Silvagni got votes from every voter. Walsh missed one.
[7] Sam Walsh continued his run of top 2 finishes.

Carlton vs St. Kilda
One of our better wins for the season, considering what we had available. Pity we couldn't play out the four quarters.
Trends:
[1] There were 14 voters for this game, only 2 above the lowest number we’ve had for a win. With no crowd, and our poor recent form, we probably won’t get better until next year.
[2] The rating, 9.83, was the best of the year. This represents an A-. Fair enough too, consider the players we have available.
[3] We had 5 players get 100+ votes, the best of the year. That was a real positive in an ordinary season.
[4] Very close at the top this week between Walsh and Silvagni. Brilliant efforts from both of them.
[5] 16 players had a mention this week, which is also the best we’ve managed since I was doing this job. That was truly magnificent. Pity we can’t manage it each week. It would do much for our mental health. Especially mine.
[6] Only [color=limegreen]one[/color] player, Jack Silvagni, got votes from everyone. Two others got votes from all but one.
[7] Sam Walsh continues to have top 2 finishes. Brilliant effort from a brilliant player.

Carlton vs Gold Coast
Probably the most disheartening loss of the year and one of the reasons David Teague is history. Such a huge disappointment.
Trends:
[1] There were 7 voters this week. There were 14 for the same round last year. There were 14 voters last week. I think that probably shows just how turned off our supporters are at the moment.
[2] The rating of 6.14 wasn’t quite a disaster, but it said everything. That represents little more than an E. Poor, against a team that got thrashed previously and subsequently.
[3] We had 3 players only get 100 votes or more. That compared to five for the previous game.
[4] 13 players managed a mention.
[5] Nobody got votes from everybody this week. Not one.
[6] Congratulations to Nick Newman for being BOG, his first of the year.

First and second are set in stone. Pretty close behind them.
Carlton vs Port Adelaide:
One great half (1.75 quarters, anyway), and the rest doesn't require thought. Disgraceful. Unprofessional.
Trends:
[1] There were 8 voters this week, a slight improvement.
[2] The rating of 5.25 was very poor. That represents F+, almost.
[3] We had 3 players only get 100 votes or more.
[4] 9 players managed a mention. That is very poor and so unlike your normal efforts.
[5] Nobody got votes from everybody this week. For the 2nd week in a row!
[6] Sam Walsh was BOG. Until ¾ time, he was easily the best on the ground, but he had 1 possession in the last quarter.

Rd 23: Carlton vs GWS.
Few of our honourable losses were less honourable than this one. We really put it to GWS for all but a few minutes on either side of half time. But that wasn't enough. Again. Heartbreak. :( :(
Trends:
[1] The voters weren’t tempted to make much of an appearance. There were 9 this week, which is not our worst. However, we get double that number and more when we’re winning.
[2] We put up a much better effort and weren’t far away from a real contender. That wasn’t bad for half a team (or less). The rating, 8.04, reflected that. That represents a C.
[3] 4 players managed 100 votes of more, which is truly respectful. Last week we struggled to get 3.
[4] 3 players managed to get votes from everyone, which is a considerable improvement over the last couple of weeks. And another missed by a single voter.
[5] 12 players managed a mention this round, which is also an improvement. Unfortunately, there were a number of these players who contributed very little.
[6] Congratulations to Ed Curnow for his BOG effort this week. 4 goals from a guy who doesn’t play as a forward says a lot, and not all of it good. This was his 2nd BOG for the year.
[7] Sam Walsh managed to complete an amazing season. He was only not in the top three vote getters three times for the entire season. Jacob Weitering was similarly impressive. Only thrice did he miss being in the top eight.

What a superb job you've done crash.
It's always a well organized, timely, objective, good humoured thread. I'm grateful to you 👏🏽 and suggest you nominate for CFC board 😉
Great job as always Crash. I am sure everyone here really appreciates your hard work putting this thread together.👍
Fun Fact.
Walsh could've finished first even if he missed the last 10 games.
He had more points after R12 than weitering ended up with after 22 in 2nd.
Machine!
Thanks Crash - appreciate your efforts!

He is top 5 in the comp already. Will probably be number 1 next year.
Thanks Crash for all your work.
I don't read The Hun, but I heard that in an article about Carlton Buckenara doesn't even rate Walsh an A-Grader.
Surely somebody is taking the piss! :o

If it is Buckenara's position, then he has even less idea than Kane Cornes, and that is saying something.
It says a lot about our season that 35 players this season managed to get some votes. Considering that some guys who played didn't manage a vote at all, it suggests that we haven't had a stable team.
That is an understatement. One of the things about successful teams is that they generally have a lot of stability in their line-up. Maybe our new coaching staff will manage to find that stability, but I doubt it.
One way of getting stability is to have few injuries. That is a trick we haven't managed this century yet. Certainly Russell cannot be the only source of blame: this trend goes back to the mid 90's at least. We have had at least 5 fitness guys since then: are they all duds? Very unlikely.
Do we blame out medical staff? Another good question with the same not very good answer. Now we have links with LaTrobe University's Sport's medicine people, it would be reasonable to expect that we have better results than other clubs. But we don't.
I know I go on about injuries, but teams that have a large portion of their best players off the field regularly don't make finals and don't win flags.
For example, how many votes did Charlie Curnow get this year?

Causation or correlation.....
Our club is a mess.
As a result it puts extra stress on the players, albeit mentally, not physically.
However, could the mental stress translate to physical injuries?
Mens Sana in corpore sanoMore injuries this year than just about any other, more stress on the players and the club too.
So....causation or correlation?
I don't read The Hun, but I heard that in an article about Carlton Buckenara doesn't even rate Walsh an A-Grader.
Surely somebody is taking the piss! :o
Buckenara had Walsh in his top ten for the 2018 draft but rated four or five players ahead of him. He won't concede that Walsh is an A-Grader until/unless his top four or five are and/or he's forced to do so by Walsh's overwhelming accolades.
Buckenara doesn't get much wrong ... in his own opinion ::)
Buckenara doesn't get much wrong ... in his own opinion ::)
He's not a bad bloke, I've had quite a few chats with him down at the Frankston VFL ground where he is/was the venue manager, not sure if he still is.
But I think he's missed the whole board on that throw, some of it might be the doing of his editor, the old journo trick of adding some controversy to boost readers. If he is still around next time I get to a game at Frankston I'll ask him! ;D
