Getting ready for next week. I'm assuming people still want this. Voting will be as usual.
AFL 2024 Rd 0: Carlton vs Brisbane
A terrible start, but a very solid finish to our first game against last year’s 2nd place getter in Brisbane. This is our first win against Brisbane at the ‘Gabba for something like 11 years, which makes it pretty special.
Trends:
[1] There were 15 voters this round, a solid number of start the year.
[2] The rating was a 9.67, which is an A-. That is a measure of how well we finished this game.
[3] 18 players managed a mention again this week, which shows just how we've played in recent times. We are a champion team these days, rather than a team of champions and everyone is making a contribution.
[4] The average vote this week was 33. Even spread over 18 recipients, this is a considerable score.
[5] 5 players managed 100 votes or more this week. This is becoming the norm when we win these days, and I am not disappointed.
[6] George Hewett managed 245 votes to be BOG this week, just ahead of Harry McKay (233 votes).
[7] Only H got votes from every voter this week. George missed one voter, while Tomd de Koning and Cripps missed two.
[8] Jack Carroll and Zac Williams were in the votes this week, which is excellent. Carroll’s form last year was not consistent enough, while Williams missed the entire year with injury.
[9] We were a very even team this week, with significant contributions from the mids, the defence and the forwards. May that continue!

AFL 2024 Rd 1: Carlton vs Richmond
A game we should have won by more, but one in which we stood up when challenged.
Trends:
[1] There were 16 voters this round, a solid number of start the year and one better than last week.
[2] The rating was a 8.71, which is an B-. Fair enough considering that we won, and that we dominated significant periods of play.
[3] 14 players managed a mention this week, which is done a little on last week, but still significant. We are a champion team these days, rather than a team of champions and everyone is making a contribution.
[4] The average vote this week was 30. This is a considerable score.
[5] 4 players managed 100 votes or more this week. This is becoming the norm when we win these days, and I am not disappointed.
[6] Patrick Cripps managed 346 votes to be BOG this week, just ahead of Mitch McGovern (288 votes).
[7] three players managed votes from everyone this week; Cripps, McGovern and McKay. Tom de Koning missed from one voter.
[8] Jack Carroll and Zac Williams were solid again, although not as significant as last week. Young and Kemp were significant.
[9] We were still a very even team this week, with significant contributions from the mids, the defence and the forwards. May that continue!

AFL 2024 Rd 3: Carlton vs North Melbourne
North gave us everything they had and we still won by almost 10 goals.
Trends:
[1] There were 13 voters this round, a solid number of start the year but still less than our previous games. Good Friday? I left the thread open for longer than usual, but ...
[2] The rating was a 9.45, which is an B+. Fair enough considering that we won, and that we dominated significant periods of play.
[3] 15 players managed a mention this week, which is one up on last week, but still significant. We are a champion team these days, rather than a team of champions and everyone is making a contribution. (I like writing this. :) )
[4] The average vote this week was 32. We don't often better this.
[5] 4 players managed 100 votes or more again this week. This is becoming the norm when we win these days, and I am not disappointed in the least. May it continue!
[6] Harry McKay managed 414 votes to be BOG this week, a Judd-like display. Most weeks, Cripps' 291 votes would have been hard to beat.
[7] Only two players managed votes from everyone this week; Cripps and McKay. George Hewett missed from one voter.
[8] Elijah Hollands was the youngster who stood out this week.
[9] We were still a very even team this week, with significant contributions from the mids, the defence and the forwards. May that continue!

AFL 2024 Rd 4: Carlton vs Fremantle
We were lucky to win, but the way we kept scrapping was very good. Pity we can't kick straight.
Trends:
[1] There were 14 voters this round, a solid number of start the year. I'd like more, but...
[2] The rating was a 8.98, which is an B. Fair enough considering that we won, and that we dominated significant periods of play.
[3] 16 players managed a mention this week, which is one up on last week. Everybody contributes when we win.

[6] Jacob Weitering managed 333 votes to be BOG this week. Tom de Koning was second while Cripps and Saad were tied for third.
[7] No player managed votes from everyone this week. This is a rarity. Weitering, Saad and de Koning missed from one voter.
[8] None of our youngsters stood out this week, which is disappointing.

AFL 2024 Rd 5: Carlton vs Adelaide
We were unlucky to lose, but we panicked for the first time this season. had we kept our nerve, we would have won.
Trends:
[1] There were 12 voters this round, which isn't that bad considering.
[2] The rating was a 7.22, which is an D+. A little harsh, perhaps, considering that we lost by 2 points in the last few seconds. But, we were expected to win and we should have, so people judged us accordingly.
[3] 14 players managed a mention this week, which is 2 down on last week. Everybody contributes when we win, which wasn't quite how it worked out this time.
[4] The average vote this week was 24. The first time below 30 for the year and indicative of how down we were this round.
[5] 3 players managed 100 votes or more this week. Even so, only one performance stood out.
[6] Sam Walsh managed 460 votes to be BOG this week. This was a Judd-like performance if there ever was one. Cripps and Acres came in at 2nd and 3rd, and neither of them had great games.
[7] One player managed votes from everyone this week. This is a rarity. But Walsh's game stood out. Nobody else's did.
[8] None of our youngsters stood out this week, which is disappointing.
[9] Only Walsh stood out. We struggled over the rest of the field.

AFL 2024 Rd 6: Carlton vs GWS
I big effort against one of the best teams in the comp.
Trends:
[1] There were 17 voters this round, which is excellent for this year. It is the best so far.
[2] The rating was a 10, which is an A. This is the first time I've seen a perfect, whole number score. For it to be a 10 tells you much better this one than last week,
[3] 14 players managed a mention this week, which is the same as last week. Again, it suggests that a lot of players made a decent contribution.
[4] The average vote this week was 31. Considering last week it was 24, you can easily see the improvement.
[5] 4 players managed 100 votes or more this week. A great contribution from all 4.
[6] Patrick Cripps managed 429 votes to be BOG this week. Sam Walsh managed 324 votes. Batman and Robin? De Koning and Pittonet rounded out the top 4.
[7] Three player managed votes from everyone this week. Pittonet missed from one voter.
[8] Not a lot from our younger players, as far as votes so anyway. Matthew Cottrell was the standout.
[9] Our midfield totally dominated.

AFL 2024 Rd 7: Carlton vs Geelong
I am really disappointed to have lost this one. We did so much right, yet our mistakes cost us the game. Geelong were very much up against us, but we should have been too.
Trends:
[1] There were 15 voters this round, which is not that bad considering we lost. I'd love it if more people gave their opinions, but I'll take what I can get. Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote. Believe me, it is appreciated.
[2] The rating was a 8.16, which is just higher than a C. Pity we couldn't reproduce last week's effort, but we may have been a little harsh, considering who was available.
[3] 12 players managed a mention this week, which is just two less than last week. Again, it suggests that a lot of players made a contribution. It was the mistakes that killed us.
[4] The average vote this week was 24, which equals our yearly low. It does tell how we feel our players fared.
[5] 6 players managed 100 votes or more this week. This is very good, but it does suggest that more could have been done by the others.
[6] Patrick Cripps managed 315 votes to be BOG this week. Behind him things were quite close between Walsh, Weitering and Pittonet.
[7] Two player managed votes from everyone this week. Pittonet missed from one voter, as did Weitering.
[8] Elijah Hollands was probably the youngster who stood out, followed by Jordan Boyd.
[9] Our midfield totally dominated the voting. Only one forward (H) and one defender (Weitering) really stood out.

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. :'(

We dominated this game, but for the last 10 minutes, but Melbourne are a dangerous side and hard to score against.
Trends:
[1] There were 12 voters this round, which is 3 less than then last week's loss. Please, do take the time to vote. Everyone is appreciated.
[2] The rating was a 9.47, which is bwteeen an A- and B+. definitely not a whole number this week!
[3] 16 players managed a mention this week, which is incredible. Everyone out there did something of note.
[4] The average vote this week was 30. Much better than last week.
[5] 4 players managed 100 votes or more this week.
[6] Jacob Weitering was BOG with 292 votes, only a couple ahead of Sam Walsh ([color=limegreen]284 votes[/color]) . Cripps was next with 229 votes.
[7] Two players managed votes from everyone this week. A number of guys got close, like Cripps and Owies.
[8] Ollie Hollands had a good one, as did Cincotta.
