There should be plenty of people to vote for this week.
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 Cripps)
[3] Three players at least must get a mention.
[4] A grade for the game, A+ (what I want to see) to F-.
Team C-
Saad 5
McKay 4
Martin 4
Gibbons 2
Sadly, I think there were at least six Collingwood players better than Saad.....

Surprised no love for Fogarty. 21 disposals and 4 tackles, plus an important goal and 5 score involvements. I thought he was hard at it and composed with the ball when he had it. Pretty good last week as well I thought but looks like a solid pick up.
Also thought Williams in his first game showed plenty. I love his desperation and effort. Hopefully he will be better for the run.

Fogarty was good and close to a vote with me, Williams faded and I was disappointed in him to be honest. We got him for elite kicking and he started with some nice passes but he dropped back to 20 disposals@50%DE....thats not good enough for a 850-900k a year player especially when the opposing midfield is caning us.
First game back so he gets a pass but will need to improve....

I can’t give us any more than that. The gestalt of the game makes that seem generous.
Votes:
[3] Sam Walsh
[1.5] Adam Saad
[1.5] Harry McKay
[1.5] Patrick Cripps
[1.5] Jacob Weitering
[1] Lachie Fogarty
[1] Zac Williams
[1] Michael Gibbons
[0.5] Sam Docherty
[0.5] Sam Petrevski-Seton
[0.5] Jack Martin
[0.5] Zac Fisher
Explanations:
[3] Sam Walsh: Our best player, he wanted it more than any other Blue.
[1.5] Adam Saad: An excellent player in defence.
[1.5] Harry McKay: 4 goals is a much better return than last week.
[1.5] Patrick Cripps: Got the clearances, but certainly didn’t dominate.
[1.5] Jacob Weitering: Excellent in defence.
[1] Lachie Fogarty: Very solid for his second game with us. He faded badly, though.
[1] Zac Williams: Showed he could be very good for us.
[1] Michael Gibbons: Not enough of the ball, but he literally dragged us back into the game with his 3 goals. They were classics.
[0.5] Sam Docherty: Doc is getting the ball well enough, but he has to hit more targets.
[0.5] Sam Petrevski-Seton: Solid in defence.
[0.5] Jack Martin Martin had patches of real brilliance but needs to play 4 quarters.
[0.5] Zac Fisher: Deserves a mention, but still not enough to be the match winner we need.
Honourable Mentions:
Ed Curnow: Ed got the ball well enough, but his negative game, the bits that got him into the team, wasn’t on show.
Lachie Plowman: 10 marks in defence.
Marc Pittonet: Tried valiantly but was beaten by Grundy. He needs to win for us to win.
