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-.
A
5. Cripps - Captain Fantastic Steven Gerrard type performance
4. Kemp - Give him a long term deal
3. Hewett
2. Kennedy
1. Pittonent - that wasn't that hard was it - dont worry about the hit outs its the tackles, pressure when ball hits the deck and Pitto was good.
So many missed out and deservingly
Please don't play Martin ahead of Moir.

AFL Rd 23: Carlton vs West Coast in Perth
Rating: A
Hard not to give it anything else, considering the team we could field. Granted that the Weagles’ effort (well, non-effort) the next round made ours look not as flash, but the Weagles had been winning until we towelled them up.
Votes:

[2.5] George Hewett: Not far behind. 25 possessions, 10 tackles and 5 clearances.
[2] Marc Pittonet: Probably his most effective game for the year. 8 clearances!
[1.5] Nic Newman: Another huge game from Nic.
[1] Brodie Kemp: 4 goals in his 1st game up forward for a long time.
[1] Matt Owies: Not huge numbers, but he got important goals.
[0.5] Elijah Hollands: Very solid game in the midfield.
[0.5] Ollie Hollands: One of Ollie’s best for 2024.
[0.5] Sam Walsh: Not yet in true best form, but he was damned good anyway.

[0.5] Blake Acres: Another good game.
[0.5] Jacob Weitering: Destroyed his opponent again.

[0.5] Corey Durdin: One of his best games for us until he was hurt again.
Honourable Mentions:
Jaxon Binns: Started slowly, but got right into the game.
Ashton Moir: A cameo, but what a cameo. I can’t wait until he gets some real fitness!
Cooper Lord: Deserved his spot.
Lachie Cowan: Did a fine job, I would have given him votes most week’s for a performance like this.
Mitch McGovern: Our defence works better with Mitch down there taking intercept marks.
I was hoping more people would votes, but ...
Time waits for no man.
