Guess I have to start this off. Pity our effort was pretty lousy. I will update this file, like usual, as we go along.
Not looking forward to this week's results.

Not a huge spread of votes, nor a big spread of voters, but I am sure things will improve as we start winning games.
Next week against the Tiggers wills tell us a lot about what our season is going to be like.

Updated to show a couple of late voters. I'm hoping for a bigger response after the Richmond game, because there is always a more positive response when we win! ;D ;D
Of course, we need to fix up a lot of problems before then, but hope springs eternal.
Round #2: Carlton vs. Richmond
Still a failure, but we really came home quite well.
Also, thank you to the voters this week. As expected, a LOT more people bothered to vote this time. Unfortunately, we still couldn't get things right! >:D >:D

Actually there was a wider spread of votes in Round 1 - 4 more people got votes against Port.
Murphy and Yarran managed most of the votes, but last week's 2nd best, David Ellard, and 3rd best, Bryce Gibbs, had shockers and were voteless.

Of interest was the way the votes changed on the spreadsheet - I'm always finding something different.
Seriously, it is close at the top between Murphy, Curnow, Yarran and Ellard. It will be interesting to see who can keep up the momentum.
Is anyone other than me actually seeing any of this? Please respond!
Carlton vs. Essendon: Round 3 Misery:
Seriously this was one of our poorest efforts at a time where something else was really required. You can tell from the number of voters: 12. A couple of usual suspects commented that things were too bad to give votes, while others voted with their feet.
Hopefully this week will give us more pleasant thoughts and better things to vote for.
Another little statistic: this game had the lowest rating of any game since I started doing the voting. And it would have been much lower of some people had actually rated their votes. That says a lot.

I was quite surprised that Menzel ended up topping the votes, and that Lachie Henderson managed 41 was amazing. However, that was how they came out. It shows how ordinary we were.

Carlton vs. Melbourne - Round 4 Misery:
Truly an embarrassment to everyone involved. We did as poorly as any Carlton team this century, after a pretty good 1st quarter.
As a result, we didn't get a lot of voting. Only 8 people voted. That says more than anything about the dissatisfaction with the game.
I can understand that. However, it was pretty ordinary.

Carlton vs. Western Bulldogs: Round 5 Celebrations!
At last, a win. Pity I didn't see any of it. We did pay the price: Judd, Bell, Curnow and Ellard now lost to injury. However, a win is much better than a loss.
We had 12 voters this week, 50% up from last week. Hopefully there will be more people voting again in the weeks to come.

Thanks for your hard work on this Crash.
It's the skipper by the length of the straight at this stage!
Looks that way at the moment. He needs some serious competition without that player getting injured.
Is it any wonder we are struggling? we should name this one the usual suspects award.
When Murphy plays well we're competitive when he doesn't we're awful.
Carlton vs Collingwood: we lost again. We really have to do something about this. This is our worst run in history against the Meat Pies.

Rd 8: Carlton vs. St. Kilda on a Monday night at Etihad.
The Blues have a good win, but it could have been a lot better. I guess it shows just how far off being a top 4 team we still are at the moment.
However, we managed to have a lot of contributors and a back line that worked well.

Gibbs certainly made up some ground on Murphy this round.
Is it disturbing to anyone that Ed Curnow is sitting 5th in the B+F despite only playing 4.5 games before breaking his leg/hip?
Along the same lines as Kruddler, it's disturbing that four players are doing all the heavy lifting - in our opinion of course!
Is it disturbing to anyone that Ed Curnow is sitting 5th in the B+F despite only playing 4.5 games before breaking his leg/hip?
On the other side of the coin, Doc, Menzel and Buckley sitting in the top 10 reads pretty well to me.

Fair call Krudd, but:
[1] Thomas: he was always going to be a slow starter to the year. If he is at the same level this time next year, then we are screwed.
[2] Walker: something of a disappointment, but still a contributor.
[3] Garlett: the big fail in this cohort, The Prince has not played anywhere near his best and could not dominate in the VFL. At the moment, he would be the biggest disaster of our year so far.
[4] Waite: probably not behind Garlett by much in the disaster stakes. We needed a real forward target and Jarrod has not delivered.
[5] Carrazzo: coming back from long term injury, it was always going to be a slow start for Carrots. That he has managed 140 votes in 2 weeks is actually a very positive step.
More of a worry is that
(a) Broke McLean is behind Sam Rowe, and Broke has not been one of our poorest performers.
(b) Hendo has as many votes as he does, considering he has had a very poor season.
(c) Robbo has scored so poorly, as he is a measure of how our team is feeling.
(d) Zac Tuohy has barely had a vote. After last year he was expected to be a much better performer.
Our voting system does give a decent indication of how the team is faring, and it does look like too much is being left to too few too often.
I can't say I was ever sold on 2E.
I gave Touhy a vote for keeping Bruest quiet ....
I gave Touhy a vote for keeping Bruest quiet ....
He has been playing better in recent weeks and he did a good job on Bruest for most of the night. However, he is a long way from his best form.
In some ways he is forced into a tighter 1 on 1 role than he prefers as we have not had a small defender who is quick and tight down there with him.

Round 14: Carlton loose to GWS in Sydney
What can I say? It was a lousy day to follow the Blues as we fall to a team that Richmond defeated by around 100 points. I find that bizarre, as Richmond have won fewer games than we have. However, that does not make us play better or them play worse. The result: close again, but just not worth that much.
It also scared off the voters in droves. This has been the smallest turnout since I have inherited the job of collating the votes. Only 7 people bothered to vote.
That makes me ask questions: have we lost interest in the Jim Park Medal? Will the voting output improve if we start winning? or is it going to get worse if our performances do not improve significantly, playing kids or not?
These are question that need to be addressed, but not here. This is my chance to rave and rant and analyze the voting.

Gibbs, Bryce 242
Menzel, Troy 163
Everitt, Andrejs 84

Jamison, Michael 9
Waite, Jarrad 9
Curnow, Edward 5
With a very low rating for the game, the low voter turnout really resulted in very few votes. Robbo, as leader of the week, would normally be expected to poll around 400 votes. On a really good week it can get close to 600 votes. Not this week.
Also very much the case was the big difference between us, the voters, and how the match committee saw the same game. Waite got dropped, yet I gave him a (small) mention. I thought Hendo was worse, but he survived for another week.
Certainly both of these guys are so far down on their performance compared to last season that it is hard to recognize them as the same players.

Gibbs has moved up on Murphy and could well overtake him this weekend, if his run of form continues. Simmo is in 3rd place, but he is stagnating after one of his worst ever games. Yazz is well clear in 4th, but things are pretty tight for 5th spot.
Near the tail of the ladder, Walker, Garlett, Waite, Bell, Tuohy, Lucas and Armfield have garnered votes, but nothing compared to their efforts in recent seasons. Scotland still has a presence, even though he retired months ago.
15 players on the list have not managed a single vote, even though the team has been crippled with injuries. Of those 15, 11 have not played a senior game this year.
This year's statistics do not make good reading.
Crash, unless I see the whole game I do not think it right to give votes. I suspect that may also apply to others, hence the low voter turn out.

Likewise. Never give votes unless I watch the entire game (at least once).
I think my threads of BOG and WOG may have detracted from some of the vote givings in here. I know i rarely vote in both now.
Sorry crash. :-[

That is OK. It may be that the Jim Park medal may need to go into recess for a while. Or we star winning more games, so more people get to watch whole games. :) It is entirely up to you, the voting public: I'll keep doing it as long as it is something that is thought to be worthwhile. But if it is not, then so be it.
Carlton fail against Collingwood: Rd 15 Disaster
Once upon a time a 'disaster' was a 'bad star'. A bit of trivia to stimulate the thought processes....
Thanks to everyone who voted this week. After all, it was not a fun time on Sunday night. Yet, we managed to take it up to a mob who have finals' pretentions. I think we have shown that they really are pretenders, but where does that leave us?

A very small spread of votes, with Judd and Yarran clearly the preferred options, followed by Gibbs, Robbo and Rowe. After that was just making up the numbers. Very rarely have the votes followed such a distinct pattern.
It also begs the question about where we are without Judd. He has been back for 3 weeks and is obviously not even close to match fit, yet he has been right up there each time. I think that, more than anything else, makes Malthouse's point for him: we need more talent.

Murphy and Gibbs still lead the way, although Gibbs has finally overtaken the Captain. Basically there is a large gap behind these guys to Simpson and Yarran (great to see Yazz up there!), followed by the peloton. The numbers also clearly show the relative falls of guys like Mclean and Walker, and the huge drops of Waite and Garlett. We really need some guys to stand up and provide that X factor required to get over the line.
LOL@Chris Judd knocking on the door of the top 5 after 3 games including suffering the second game blues.
It's only slightly funnier than the fact that the bloke he is about to catch has missed significant time with an injury.
15 voters this week and they got in nice and early. I guess when only 29000 get to the ground, it suggests that there may not be a large voter turnout.

The Winner: Bryce Gibbs
Gibbs was winner by 800 votes! A big effort with everything that went on for 2014. Hail!
2nd place: Marc Murphy
Couldn't win because he missed the last game again, with injury. Still, a very good effort from the Captain with the promise of more in 2015.
3rd place: Kade Simpson
Not a patch on last year. In fact 2014 contained some of his worst ever games. But Simmo is a trouper and a real leader for our club. His ability to get the ball week in, week out was excellent!
4th place: Chris Judd
Considering that Judd missed half of the season and was not match fit in any single game, his effort were heroic. had the season lasted another month, we would have given Gibbs a real challenge for top spot.
5th place: Chris Yarran
A much more consistent season in 2014. Look forward to more next year.
Congratulations to all those who managed to get votes: it is a more than creditable effort to catch the eye and hold it. Well done.
Hopefully there will be more votes and more voters in 2015!
Thanks for the effort Crash, much appreciated !!
Worthy winner Gibbs, he had a good and reasonably consistent year, as a midfielder, showing some the reasons why he was a number 1 pick. There is still room for growth, so all the best to him and onward and upward for him in 2015 !!

x2..Have not been a true believer in Gibbs but he has lifted this season and attacked the ball better than most on our list and deserves the B&F as well as the prestigious Jim Park Medal. ;)..
Thanks Crash.
Well done Gibba, so glad you stayed.
Nice work crash.
Gibbs a clear standout. Judd stormed home. Thank goodness both are here next season
