Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Jim Park Analysis 2024
Last post by crashlander -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.
Votes:
Cripps, Patrick 315
Walsh, Sam 196
Weitering, Jacob 185
Pittonet, Marc 174
Acres, Blake 109
McKay, Harrison 103

Em: [28] David Cuningham, [33] Lewis Young, [14] Orazio Fantasia
My thoughts:
[1] Ollie Hollands is very lucky to be there. Extremely lucky. I would have preferred Binns: he is getting 25 - 30 possessions each week.
[2] Cuningham is a little unlucky to be dropped, considering that it was his first game back. Also, his disposal and decision making was a step from what some of the others were doing.
[3] Young wasn't our worst last week, but what killed him was his lack of attack on the ball on the ground. In the air he wasn't that bad, but on the ground he let Collingwood players in a number of times because they wanted the ball more.
There has been a lot of comment about Young, some of it he deserves, some he does not. He has his strengths, and they are in the air. Also, he didn't turn the ball over that much. But his ground player cost us last week.
[4] Fantasia shouldn't get back into the team until he starts kicking goals, and not just one per game. He might be working hard defensively, but that's not why he is in the team. Getting less than 8 possessions and no goals just isn't something we can maintain.
[5] Our defence looks quite flexible, which isn't always the case. McGovern and Kemp are good 'ins', as they can attack as well as defend. Cincotta really did a job well last week, even though he didn't get a lot of ball. I'd like to see him confident enough to run off guys as well as shutting them down.
[6] Martin is a big 'in' as well. He can do things the other small forwards can't.
