Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Jim Park Award 2026
Last post by crashlander -A good win over an improving team away. We had a few hard markers this week! Still, it is nice to be in the position to be picky!
Trends:
[1] There were 12 voters this round, which is a little disappointing considering the circumstances. Still, I'm not complaining, I appreciate the time our voters spend.
please do vote, win, lose or draw: it is something we appreciate and it makes our statistics a lot more reliable. And our statistics hold up pretty well when it comes to John Nicholls Medal night!
[2] The rating was a 9.47, which represents a B+, is the best we've had for the year to this point.
Our rating of the Richmond game, for example, was 7.69 which says far too much.
[3] 16 players managed a mention again this week. That is what we get when we play more consistently.
[4] The average vote this week was 31, the first time we've passed 30 for the year!. Scores are around 30 when we win, so read into that what you will.
[5] 4 players managed 100 votes or more. This is becoming the norm, which is something I like.
[6] Patrick Cripps was our best for the 3rd week in a row. His reemergence has been one of the reasons we've improved. He managed a Cripps-like 367 votes, a really dominant game! Jagga Smith was 2nd, with 241 votes, his 2nd highest. Then came Walsh (154) and Hayward (150). Walsh has not been outside the top 10 year this season.
[7] Two player managed votes from everyone this week, Cripps and Smith. Hayward missed by two.
[8] We had a much more rounded distribution of votes this week. Our recruits put their hands up, as did a youngsters and our experienced players (who have generally been down this year). Our defenders and mids got most of the votes.
[9] Jagga Smith was our best youngster for the night, followed byCowan, Wilson and Ison.
This was the 2nd real Cripps-like game from Cripps.
