AFL Rd 22 2026 Carlton vs St. Kilda
Well, anything was going to be a come-down compared to thrashing the reigning premiers, but the boys still performed well, righting the wrong from earlier in the season. To have a 15+ goal turnaround just shows how much we have grown since Fraser took charge.
Team: A
Votes:
Again, having 15 votes is going to limit just how much of a reward I can give the guys who really deserved to be recognized.

[0.5] Lachie Cowan
[0.5] Harry McKay
Explanations:
[2] Marc Pittonet: Faced with 2 higher rated rucks, Pitto didn’t just stand up, he intimidated his opponents and kicked 2 goals. He was incredibly important.
[2] Francis Evans: Frankie had a brilliant game: 22 possessions and an impact that was memorable.
[2] Harry Dean: Another top effort from a young defender.
[1.5] George Hewett: A solid game in the middle.
[1.5] Nick Haynes: A brilliant game from Haynes, with 13 marks.
[1] Patrick Cripps: I could go on about his possessions, but I don’t need to.
[1] Sam Walsh: Like Cripps, he might not have been BOG this week, but he was still vital and his numbers always stand out.
[1] Ollie Florent: Florent has flied under the radar somewhat this season, but it is hard not to recognize him when he gets so much of it and makes such great kicks.
[0.5] Adam Cerra: Another who has improved as the season has gone on.
[0.5] Blake Acres: Acres made a statement with this game: don’t forget how I can play!
[0.5] Will Hayward: Another solid game with marks, defensive pressure and enthusiasm.
[0.5] Cooper Lord: Lord has been improving each week, and continues to do so.
[0.5] Lachie Cowan: Lachie has shown so much maturity this season.
[0.5] Harry McKay: Not as dominant as last week, but still dangerous.
Honourable Mentions:
Jagga Smith: Jagga would have got votes most weeks for a performance like this, but it is hard to back up after last week!
Billy Wilson: Billy would have got a lot more notice if he didn’t turn the ball over as often as he did.
Wade Derksen: Another very solid effort in defence.
Talor Byrne: Patchier this week, but when he was involved something good happened.
Mitch McGovern: An ‘almost’ night, but some really nice things.
