AFL Rd 11 2026 Carlton vs Port Adelaide
Team : A
One of our most complete games in recent times, we were challenged and responded well.
Votes:
[2.5] Patrick Cripps
]1.5] Jagga Smith
[1.5] George Hewett
[1.5] Ollie Florent
[1.5] Harry McKay
[1] Harry Dean
[1] Sam Walsh
[1] Francis Evans
[1] Will Hayward
[0.5] Billy Wilson
[0.5] Nic Newman
[0.5] Nick Haynes
[0.5] Jack Ison
[0.5] Lachie Cowan
Explanations:
[2.5] Patrick Cripps: Another stand out game from Cripps, with a first quarter like few others. 32 possessions, 8 clearances, 5 tackles and goal. Brilliant!
]1.5] Jagga Smith: A really strong game and no possessions wasted. 27 possessions and 4 clearances.
[1.5] George Hewett: A slow start, but brilliant in the middle of the game. Back to something like last year’s form.
[1.5] Ollie Florent: Another excellent effort from Florent running our of defence.
[1.5] Harry McKay: H is also playing more like what we hope. He did well in the ruck and kicked better than he has for some time.
[1] Harry Dean: Excellent in defence.
[1] Sam Walsh: Another very solid game from Walsh, whose 28 possessions included a goal and 4 clearances.
[1] Francis Evans: Frankie’s first half was probably the best he has played for us. Quiter in the 2nd half, but still an excellent game against his old mob.
[1] Will Hayward: Very solid again. Dangerous.
[0.5] Billy Wilson: Much improved, Billy dash and kicking was a highlight.
[0.5] Nic Newman: Very solid again in defence.
[0.5] Nick Haynes: Haynes was really good all night.
[0.5] Jack Ison: Probably an almost game, with 1 goal three.
[0.5] Lachie Cowan: Continuing his fine form in defence. His marking and run were excellent.
Honourable Mentions:
Ben Ainsworth: Probably the most consistent of our name recruits.
Mitch McGovern: Always dangerous. Kicked well.
Brodie Kemp: Ver dangerous in attack.
Adam Cerra: Not back to his best, but he was better than he has been and his disposals were more effective.
Wade Derksen: An excellent game in defence.
Please do vote. We need to celebrate a win!

@crashlander I hope I didn't put some off voting, the Jim Park tally sort of acts like a lie detector, shows what people thought back when versus what they say now!
To be honest, I can't see why so few people have voted so far. This was our largest win for the year. But ...
I still hope to attract a few late comers. :)
