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.

Hard to imagine I can't fit McKay or Charlie in the votes, but it is what it is, I bet the coach will though because they will have more of a perspective on how hard it is to score goals in AFL!

Yes, we had a couple of flatter patches, but we haven’t beaten the Weagles in Perth for a long time, nor have we buried a team by 10 goals. That says a lot.
Votes:
[1.5] Sam Docherty
[1.5] Adam Cerra
[1.5] Matthew Kennedy
[1.5] George Hewett
[1.5] Harry McKay
[1.5] Charlie Curnow
[1.5] Tom de Koning
[1.5] Patrick Cripps
[1] Sam Walsh
[0.5] Corey Durdin
[0.5] Nick Newman
[0.5] Zac Fisher
[0.5] Lewis Young
Explanations:
[1.5] Sam Docherty: Doc has been amazing this year, and again this week. The drive he supplies has been amazing.
[1.5] Adam Cerra: So much better than last week, Cerra was still good when we weren’t so good. 27 possessions.
[1.5] Matthew Kennedy: Another really solid game from Matthew. 27 possessions, 7 tackles and t good clearances.
[1.5] George Hewett: Another really solid game from George; 26 possessions, 5 tackles and 9 clearances.
[1.5] Harry McKay: Did what a key forward had to do. 5 goals and 7 marks, and it could have better!
[1.5] Charlie Curnow: Did what a key forward had to do. 5 goals and 8 marks, and it could have better!
[1.5] Tom de Koning: Dominated in the centre in the 1st and last quarters. 7 clearances from a ruckman is a great return.
[1.5] Patrick Cripps: He might not be in the God-like form of early in the years, but he was tagged closely and still got 10 clearances! 24 possessions and a great goal was a return 99% of AFL players would envy.
[1] Sam Walsh: Relatively well held for a while, but Sam just burnt them off when the game was to be won. 25 possessions and 4 clearances.
[0.5] Corey Durdin: The defensive pressure he creates is something we need quite badly. 2 goals and 5 tackles is just the surface of his performance.
[0.5] Nick Newman: Keeps his opponents in starvation corner, while contributing. Solid!
[0.5] Zac Fisher: A little patchy, but still produced some great thing. His pace is something our midfield is better for.
[0.5] Lewis Young: A very solid game in defence. Got to a lot of contests and was beaten in very few indeed.
Honourable Mentions:
Jack Silvagni: Not perhaps back to his best, but it was lightyears better than last week. Competed well, tackles well and made very few mistakes.
Adam Saad: Not getting votes this week simply because the ball didn’t get near him in the 1st and last quarters. Does what is needed and does it with panache.
I'll close this thread tomorrow. Anyone else want to put in their 2 cents worth? Please do. All voters are accepted. :) :))
