AFL 2024 Rd 8: Carlton vs Collingwood We lost by a kick and should have won, but really didn't play that well.
Trends: [1] There were 15 voters this round, which is pretty good for a loss. Traditionally, fewer voters bother when we lose.
[2] The rating was a 8, which is an C. This is the 2nd time in 2 weeks that we averaged a whole number!
[3]13 players managed a mention this week, which is only one less than last week. Again, it suggests that a lot of players made a contribution. The difference was that nobody seemed to dominate.
[4] The average vote this week was 26. This is the second lowest of the year so far.
[5]5 players managed 100 votes or more this week. This usually indicates a win, but even these 5 voters were not as outstanding as others have been this season.
[6] Harry McKay was BOG this round with 260 votes . the other 4 100+ vote getters were all around the 160 mark.
[7]No player managed votes from everyone this week. A number of guys got close, but nobody was so significant that everyone recognized it.
[8] Not a lot from our younger players, as far as votes so anyway. Cincotta managed a mention, as did Elijah Hollands.
[9] Our defenders were the main area of vote getting, which suggested that the ball was spending too much time down there.

Ned Cahill: 1 goal 5 behinds. Tom Phillips: 12 disposals - not enough from one of our few experienced players. Not doing what we really need him to do.
Just turned on to see that we lost after the damned siren. That's the third time this year we've lost heartbreakers! Binns: 28 disposals: must play AFL next week. Cowan : 21 possessions - came home well.
Voting is as usual: you have 15 votes to award pretty much as you will, with the following provisos: [1] 15 votes in total, no more, no less. [2] No more than 10 votes for any one player (even Sam Walsh or Patrick Cripps) [3] Three players at least must get a mention. [4] A grade for the game, A+ (what I want to see) to F-.
