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.  )

Hopefully we have some people who want to vote! Numbers have been very low in the last couple of weeks.

Please use as soon as the game is over. Hopefully we can improve on our recent substandard performances.

Set for a 19:50 start at the SCG.
Teams not yet available.
Hopefully we play well enough that someone will want to post.

The 2nds are playing their game at 1605 on Friday at the SCG.
No idea as to who will play yet, but we really need to step up: our results have not been great.

We're often seeking information regarding rules, status of players etc.
This can usually be found with a quick search, but sometimes the information is a bit elusive.
I thought it might be useful to have some of these resources in a thread where they easily accessible.
We can add to it with suggestions and I'll transfer those to this opening post.
Just to kick it off....

Alex Silvagni is a super hero in this show.

IIRC, early last season, Cripps and company dominated centre clearances and we took advantage of the 6/6/6 rule so that we could kick into an uncluttered forward line without being particularly precise.

Subsequently, we have not been as effective in centre clearances and have increasingly tried to move the ball forward without the ability to consistently find a teammate or even kick to advantage when the opposition has already flooded back.

I would like to see if my recollections are supported by statistics so I am wondering if anyone has or has access to statistics that show:
- a game-by-game breakdown of scoring from centre clearances compared to other means
- a game-by-game breakdown of any other stats connected to centre clearances, e.g. ruckman by ruckman / whether the centre clearances exited towards goal or towards the wing or flank / or anything of that kind

Friday night: we haven't played well at night recently.
