Re: Jim Park Voting 2023 1st Semi Final Reply #1 – September 16, 2023, 01:20:08 am I won't get to sleep for at least another hour yet, so I'll start off proceedings.1st Semi Final Carlton vs MelbourneAnother heart-stopper and the perfect result. But I can’t give the team an A, not even for a win like this. We made far too many errors at crucial moments and wasted a lot of Inside 50’s.Team: B+Finding a way to win from where we were was special.Votes:[3] Sam Walsh[2] Patrick Cripps[2] Jacob Weitering[1.5] Tom de Koning[1.5] Nic Newman[1] Adam Saad[1] Sam Docherty[0.5] Mitch McGovern[0.5] Jesse Motlop[0.5] Blake Acres[0.5] Lachie Fogarty[0.5] George Hewett[0.5] Adam CerraExplanations:[3] Sam Walsh: 34 possessions, 2 brilliant goals, 6 marks, 8 tackles and 3 clearances says it all: the sort of game that makes a difference.[2] Patrick Cripps: 27 possessions, 9 clearances, 6 tackles and some really good moments describes the game from a man who it mattered to.[2] Jacob Weitering: Head knock or not, Weitering dominated his position, even if he didn’t hold some he usually marks. His ability to starve the Melburne key forwards was crucial.[1.5] Tom de Koning: Tom produced in some big moments. He took only 4 marks, but each of those was crucial, as were his goals and clearances.[1.5] Nic Newman: A few uncharacteristic mistakes, but a very solid game on defence at 30 possessions again.[1] Adam Saad: Really did a job on his opponents.[1] Sam Docherty: Came back after a dislocated shoulder and was crucial at important times.[0.5] Mitch McGovern: 20 possessions and a solid job in defence.[0.5] Jesse Motlop: Not a lot of ball, but his goals were crucial.[0.5] Blake Acres: Down for him with only 17 possessions and was targeted by the Melbourne players, but still managed to pop up at do crucial things when he was needed.[0.5] Lachie Fogarty: Not enough scoring, but still doing very good things in the forward line.[0.5] George Hewett: 20 possessions; a solid game.[0.5] Adam Cerra: Faded out of the game, but what he did was excellent.Honourable Mentions:Brodie Kemp: Not his best game, but still doing nice things and hold down a critical post.Matthew Kennedy: Not really a key forward, but he worked hard and did some nice things.Caleb Marchbank: What could have been: got to a lot of contests but didn’t hold his marks. His decision making was much better tonight.Marc Pittonet: Lion-hearted in the ruck. Worked hard and kept Gawn under control mostly.Oliver Hollands: 4 possessions in the last quarter, and 1 kick smothered poorly, but his run and smart disposal was excellent in that final flurry.Alex Cincotta: Not huge possessions, but really did a solid negative job.
