Preparation for the big night. At least this game is on TV, so I will have some idea about the game. Very frustrated last week.
Hopefully there will be something worth voting for! :)
Remember:
[1] At least 3 players need to get a mention.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player.
[3] Give a rating of team performance. It can be anywhere from A+ to F.
[4] Votes must add up to 15.

Crash.....go online...VaughnTV.....can be a bit laggy if you dont have quick internet but I managed to watch the whole game and it was ok.
Doesnt have every game and you have to get lucky but last year they seemed to run a lot of Carlton games....

Yes. I will have to do something like that. My present internet plan is not what it could be, but if I can get games on the 'net, it would be worth upgrading to get it.
I must admit I have mulled over getting pay TV for a long time - my sister and her family enjoy it. Whether I would get my money's worth, except for the footy and Game of Thrones, is the other matter.
Never mind: I must do something about this issue. I hate being ignorant.
Looks like it is up to me to start off. There are times when I really should wait until my brain chemistry is something like normal.
Team: E
We tried hard and had more possessions, more taps, more clearances and equal inside 50’s at 3/4 time, but we ran out of puff in the last quarter, which could have been ugly. There were distinct problems with our skills and structure that were not what I wanted to see.
I cannot be happy with so many senior players down.

[1] Bryce Gibbs
[1] Patrick Cripps
[0.5] Marc Murphy
[0.5] Sam Kerridge
[0.5] Zach Tuohy
Explanations:
[4] Jacob Weitering: The lad had a lot of the ball and generally held his opponent. He took contested marks and he made great decisions. In an ordinary night, he was a shining light.
[3] Ed Curnow: Ran his guts out and really had an impact. He was an excellent player, but he just might have been better value keeping Ablett out of the game.
[2] Sam Docherty: One of our best on an ordinary night, Docherty kept going in the last quarter where many of his team mates fell out of the game.
[1.5] Ciaran Byrne: Not as impressive as he has been in the VFL, but he had a hell of a job and he showed a lot. An excellent effort from a guy in his 2nd game.
[1] Matthew Wright: Good effort from Wright.
[1] Bryce Gibbs: Very good early, he fell out of the game. When we really needed a lift, he couldn’t seem to provide it.
[1] Patrick Cripps: Quiet early, but had a huge 3rd quarter. Ran out of gas a bit near the end as well, but he had more clearances than the rest of our team.
[0.5] Marc Murphy: Not his best game, but he kept going until the end.
[0.5] Sam Kerridge: His least effective game in our colours, but he kept going and he worked hard.
[0.5] Zach Tuohy: Solid in defence
Honourable Mentions:
Nick Graham: OK, but made more mistakes then he has for a while.
Kade Simpson: Simmo had a lot of the ball, but just wasn’t as effective as he has been. He also made more mistakes than he would prefer.
Dale Thomas: Looked good in patches, but he dropped out of the game.
Blaine Boekhorst: Looked very good early, but he really dropped out of the game and looked very unfit in the last quarter.
Matthew Kreuzer: Worked hard, managed to get a fair few taps, but just didn’t have the impact we needed. He took 1 mark for the night.

Team F. Maybe a C up to 3 quarter time but the last term was putrid.
Weitering 8 just awesome. We need to invest in cloning him.
Docherty 3 serviceable and didn't screw up as badly as others
Cripps 2 below his best but got better in the second half
C Curnow 1 for being this weeks green shoot (again)
Simpson 1, at least he fought
And if I could give negatives to other players to give more to Weitering I would.

Statistically, you could argue Cripps, Kerridge, Tuohy and Gibbs all deserved votes. But if I deduct points for playing lame, delivering turnovers and being non-committal they all loose points.

Are you taking the piss?
No. I'm not even on illegal substances. I leave those to those wearing red and black or white and black.
Feel free to disagree, but those are my thoughts.
Note my comments: guys like Gibbs, Murphy, Kreuzer, Jamison, Thomas, Rowe, etc, are the senior players of our team and should be getting more of the ball and doing their jobs better. Some of these guys did enough to get a mention, but none did what I expect them to deliver each week.
That a 3rd game player, Weitering, and a 2nd game player, Byrne, were in our top 4 players is an indictment of our top players that I'm not happy with.

You gave 10 players votes and gave special mention of another 5 in a game we were smashed in. I do respect your opinion but I think you're being very lenient considering this is a best player award.

Last chance, voters. Voting closes soon, so get in if you want your opinions counted this week. :)
