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-.
Hopefully we'll have guys to vote for. :))
Hopefully we have some people who want to vote!
B
5. Walsh - he is just unbelievable finally a Carlton player than can play through injury
4. Saad - unbelievable year so far and his best game in his career but hard to go past Walsh for BOG
3. Kennedy - the unflashy unnoticed tough and hard stuff in the clinches - this bloke has gone from average to elite
2. Cerra - another like Kennedy where punters will not really appreciate because its not flashy - but was nice and hard at it lots of tackles and lots of pressure. Paddy Dow take note dont need to be flashy all the time just be relentless.
1. Charlie - just looks a threat up forward and can do it all as a forward really.
AFL 2022 Rd 19: Carlton vs GWS
Team: B+
A solid win, but not the sort of thrashing we can now hand out.

[3] Adam Saad
[2.5] Sam Walsh
[1.5] Patrick Cripps
[1.5] Sam Docherty
[1] Charlie Curnow
[1] Adam Cerra
[1] Matthew Kennedy
[1] Will Setterfield
[0.5] Lachie Plowman
[0.5] Nick Newman
[0.5] Zac Fisher
[0.5] Matthew Cottrell
[0.5] Harry McKay
Explanations:
[3] Adam Saad: One of the best games you could imagine from a defender. His marking was great and his disposal and run were brilliant.
[2.5] Sam Walsh: Not that great until he was hurt. When he came back, he cranked it up a notch and really hurt GWS.
[1.5] Patrick Cripps: Got more of the ball than anyone else but didn’t make use of the ball as he can.
[1.5] Sam Docherty: Another great game from Doc in defence.
[1] Charlie Curnow: Had his man beaten all day. Could have had 6.
[1] Adam Cerra: Very good from Cerra, especially the things that don’t stick out. 27 possessions, 6 tackles and 4 clearances.
[1] Matthew Kennedy: Similar to Cerra, a lot of his work was not always as visible as some others were. 27 possessions, 6 tackles and 4 clearances.
[1] Will Setterfield: Probably Setters best game for a long time at this level. His kicking needs work, though.
[0.5] Lachie Plowman: A top effort from Plow in defence.
[0.5] Nick Newman: Got a lot of the pill and kept Greene out of the play, mostly.
[0.5] Zac Fisher: Another solid game, although not as brilliant as he can be.
[0.5] Matthew Cottrell: A solid effort with 2 very smart goals.
[0.5] Harry McKay: Kicked 2 and could have kicked 6.
Honourable Mentions:
Lochie O’Brien; Almost voteworthy, with some excellent disposal. Maybe next week …
Jack Silvagni: tries his guts out as ruckman but is always up against it. His other work is always good.
Josh Honey: 14 possessions is his best for a while, and his goal was great, but he needs to kick more goals.
Jacob Weitering: Kept his opponent under control but is not having the affect on games he usually has. No big marks yet.

I'll keep this open for a little longer. Alas, doing that hasn't attracted any more voters recently.
