AFL 2026 Rd 13:   Carlton vs Essendon
Like the Richmond game, most of us were disappointed by the way we played against the Drug Cheats. However, they gave it their best shot, and they couldn't beat us when we were as flat as a tack. I am willing to give a little kudos, but not that much.

Trends:
[1]   There were 9 voters this round, which is more like what we get for a loss. Disappointing, especially when we've had 2 weeks to vote, but that was how we played.
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 8.07, which represents a C.
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.

[4]   The average vote this week was 26, which is very ordinary for a win!. Scores are around 30 when we win, so read into that what you will.

[5]   3 players managed 100 votes or more.

[6] Crippa didn't win this week, although he did get some votes. Harry McKay judged BOG this week, for the first time this year. he has certainly improved in the last few weeks. George Hewett managed 2nd, his first top 2 rating for the year. Harry Dean managed 3rd, his first top 3 finish.

[7]  One player managed votes from everyone this week; Harry McKay. Dean and Hewett missed from one voter.

[8]   We had a much more rounded distribution of votes this week, even though the values were generally low. 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 as we still struggle to kick goals.

[9]   Harry Dean was our best youngster for the night, followed by Smith, Wilson and Byrne

AFL 2026 Rd 15:   Carlton vs GWS in Sydney
To defeat GWS on their home deck was a considerably better performance than struggling to get over the line against the Drug Cheats. Also, winning without Weitering was a real positive.

Trends:
[1]   There were 10 voters this round, which is more like what we get for a loss. Disappointing, but that's how it is. In the corresponding round last year only 6 people voted.
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 9.73, which represents a A-, a considerable improvement.
Our rating of the Richmond game, for example, was 7.69 which is probably the lowest we could get and still win.

[3]   18 players managed a mention again this week, which is very high. Clearly, our voters decided that most of our players made a contribution significant enough to recognize.

[4]   The average vote this week was 32, which is the 2nd highest of the year!. Scores are around 30 when we win, so read into that what you will. The only better one was against Geelong.

[5]   5 players managed 100 votes or more, and a 6th missed by 3! We rarely get into this territory.

[6] Crippa didn't win this week, although he did come second. Sam Walsh was judged BOG this week, for the sixth time this year.  George Hewett managed 3rd, his second top 3 rating for the year. Jagga Smith and Nic Newman filled in the placings.

[7]  Two player managed votes from everyone this week; Cripps and Walsh. Smith and Hewett both missed from 1 voter.

[8]   Our midfield guns dominated the voting this week, with the top 4 spots going to our mids. Our defenders got votes, but nothing like what the mids got, and our forwards are making contributions, but not starring. Our youth continues to get noticed with Smith starring. And our more mature recruits have also been strong contributors.

[9]   Jagga Smith was our best youngster for the night, followed by Cowan, Dean and Wilson.

Probably our largest win for the year, it was also a game where we won all 4 quarters. That doesn't happen to us much.

Trends:
[1]   There were 10 voters again this round, which is still closer to what we get for a loss than for most of our wins. Disappointing, but that's how it is. In the corresponding round last year only 8 people voted.

[5]   Again 5 players managed 100 votes or more, which remains on the high side. If we get fewer than 4, we usually struggle.

[6] Crippa didn't win this week, although he did come second, for the 2nd week ina row. Sam Walsh was judged BOG this week, for the seventh time this year.  George Hewett managed 3rd, his third top 3 rating for the year. Ben Ainsworth and Harry McKay rounded out the places.

I'm running a bit behind at the moment; changing computers for the first time in God knows how many years.
I will have the file transferred over soon, and I will update things then.
I do apologize, but things will be up to date soon.

We got over the line, but should have won by more.

Trends:
[1]   There were 12 voters this round, which is an improvement over recent weeks.
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 8.06, which represents a C. I guess we had to have a downer after some better efforts. But good teams win when they're not playing well, so hopefully, we're becoming a good team.
Our rating of the 1st Richmond game, for example, was 7.69 which is probably the lowest we could get and still win.

[3]   14 players managed a mention this week. Clearly, our voters decided that most of our players made a contribution significant enough to recognize.

[4]   The average vote this week was 26, which says it all!. Scores are around 30 when we win, so read into that what you will.

[5]   Again 3 players managed 100 votes or more, which is down from recent weeks. If we get fewer than 4, we usually struggle.

[6] George Hewett continued his revival this week with a Cripps-like performance. It was his first BOG of the season, after 3 previous weeks of placings. Jagga Smith managed 2nd, a great effort from such a youngster, while veteran Nick Haynes managed 3rd. This was Nick's best result of the year and completely deserved.

[7]  Only one player managed votes from everyone again this week; George Hewett. Jagga missed from one.

[8]   Our midfield guns dominated the voting this week, while our forwards didn't make much of an impression.

[9] Other than Smith, our youngsters were less prominent this week.

Hewett, George   352

Progressive Voting:
Walsh, Sam   2966
Patrick Cripps 2696
Smith, Jagga  1433   Jagga looks on track to be in the top 4 in his first season. Really impressive!
Hewett, George  1172   George has really made a charge in recent weeks. Only a month ago he was barely in triple figures.
Florent, Oliver  881
Will Hayward  801
Harry McKay  784

Kemp, Brodie  485
Weitering, Jacob  466
Dean, Harry  449
Hollands, Elijah  426  The fact that Elijah is still this high after not playing a game under Fraser shows just how good he was early in the year. Such a pity, but I can't see him coming back.

shocking conditions, shocking performance, shocking umpiring, shocking outcome: it was a horrible night.

[2]   The rating was a 5.70, which represents a E-. I guess we had to have a downer after some better efforts.

[3]   13 players managed a mention this week.

[4]   The average vote this week was 19, our equal worst of the year, which says it all!. Scores are around 30 when we win, so read into that what you will.

[5]   Again 2 players managed 100 votes or more, which is down from recent weeks. If we get fewer than 4, we usually struggle.

[6] Sam Walsh was BOG for the 8th time this year. That is a huge personal result. Adam Cerra managed 2nd, his first top 5 performance of the year.

[7]  Only one player managed votes from everyone again this week; Sam Walsh. Cerra missed from one. Newman missed from 2.
