AFL Rd 8:   Carlton vs Collingwood

Rating:      C+
We lost by a goal to last year’s premiers and probably should have won. Granted that we were nowhere near our best, but we led for most of the game. We weren’t dreadful. Still it was disappointing.

Votes:
[2]   Sam Walsh
[2]   Nic Newman
[2]   Harry McKay
[2]   Jacon Weitering
[2]   Blake Acres
[1.5]   George Hewett
[1.5]   Marc Pittonet
[1]   Tom de Koning
[1]   Alex Cincotta
[0.5]   Matthew Owies
[0.5]   Patrick Cripps

Explanations:
[2]   Sam Walsh:      33 possessions and 8 clearances suggested Walsh was pretty good. Pity about the last 90 seconds.
[2]   Nic Newman:      32 possessions and 6 tackles, and more metres gained than anyone else, but he was a little fumbly and not at his best.
[2]   Harry McKay:      Dominated and kicked 4. Pity his last attempted pass was to nobody.
[2]   Jacon Weitering:   Close to BOG. Slaughtered his opponent.
[2]   Blake Acres:      32 possessions and a magnificent last quarter, but was fumbly before that.
[1.5]   George Hewett:   A solid job in the middle. 30 possessions, 5 tackles and 6 clearances.
[1.5]   Marc Pittonet:      Brilliant early and was the best ruck on the park.
[1]   Tom de Koning:   Tom’s game as a forward was actually pretty good. He was the worst ruck on the ground by some margin, but he did get a fair bit of ball. Too many fumbles up the ground. This vote is just for his forward play.
[1]   Alex Cincotta:      Did a job and did it brilliantly.
[0.5]   Matthew Owies:   3 goals was great.
[0.5]   Patrick Cripps:      Tactics holding Cripps out of it were questionable, but Cripps was really good early and tried his guts out all night.

Honourable Mentions:
Elijah Hollands:      Not a bad job.
Adam Cerra:         Solid in the middle, but lacked the flair he often has.
