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!

HM: Marchbank for his work curtailing the dangerous Fritsch who usually dines out on us.
HM: McGovern played a good game but did end up on Melksham which just excluded him from my votes given the latters impact on the game.
HM: Jack.....our best ruckman on the night...

Some may be surprised by me giving BigH votes ahead of Cripps, but if not for our poor foot skills BigH could have easily snagged another 2 or 3 goals. BigH had May done, May who I think is the best one on one gorilla minder in the competition couldn't go with BigH, done stone cold dead multiple times, and we failed to even hit the side of the barn that is BigH on the lead! That is why I wrote in the post match that BigH is back baby!

Funnily enough, in his 'Tackle' article, Robbo suggested May was equal BOG with Melksham - but I agree, H towelled him up. May is only effective when he has Lever floating in from the side.

Carlton vs Melbourne
Rating: C+
I’m not willing to mark higher since we lost, but it was our best effort for some time.
Votes:
[2] Sam Docherty
[2] Patrick Cripps

[2] Harry McKay
[1] Sam Walsh
[1] Jack Silvagni
[0.5] Zac Fisher
[0.5] Jack Martin
[0.5] Will Setterfield
[0.5] Matthew Cottrell
[0.5] Mitch McGovern
[0.5] Charlie Curnow
Explanations:
[2] Sam Docherty: Brilliant game in the middle.
[2] Patrick Cripps: Worked damned hard and made a real impact.
[2] Lewis Young: Probably the most effective defender on the ground. Much improved from recent weeks.
[2] Adam Saad: A real Saad game.
[2] Harry McKay: Probably the most effective key forward on the ground.
[1] Sam Walsh: Solid.
[1] Jack Silvagni: If only he’d kicked straight! Jack was our most effective ruckman, and he was well beaten. But he gave us an extra mid and he did a great job.
[0.5] Zac Fisher: Better than he has been lately, but can do better.
[0.5] Jack Martin: I almost forgot Martin, but his 3 goals were extremely important.
[0.5] Will Setterfield: Probably Setters’ best effort for some time.
[0.5] Matthew Cottrell: Strong.
[0.5] Mitch McGovern: Would have been much better if Melksham hadn’t kicked those goals.
[0.5] Charlie Curnow: If only he could kick! Had his opponent beaten.
Honourable Mentions:
Liam Stocker: A good effort.
Corey Durdin: Our most effective small forward on the night.
