I had a shocking night last night.
[1] NB's got thrashed by 100 points, which I discovered when I got to the ground.
[2] Carlton got beaten because we couldn't kick straight and the umps wouldn't know a free kick if they got one in the backside.
[3] I missed the train: it left as I was on the platform trying to get their attention. I got home at 1:45 and wasn't happy.
So, I was actually hoping someone else would start up this thread this week.
Well, probably too many people were as irritated with the game as I was, so nobody thought of it. Doesn't matter. Here it is. Poor out your feelings. This round last year we had a record smallest number of voters and none of them was happy. We'll see how many want to vote this time around.
Remember:
[1] At least 3 players need to get a mention.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player.
[3] Give a rating of team performance. It can be anywhere from A+ to F.
[4] Votes must add up to 15.
Live Long and Prosper!

Bad kicking is bad football and we kicked very poorly. Especially for goal.
I thought the umpiring was incredible. I don’t think I have ever seen such a performance. We had 5 frees for the night in general play and 3 on the fulls. I find that illogical.
Votes:
[2.5] Tuohy
[2] Murphy
[1.5] Armfield
[1.5] Jamison
[1.5] Bell
[1.5] Buckley
[1] Graham
[1] Curnow
[1] Simpson
[0.5] Cripps
[0.5] White
[0.5] Everitt
Explanations:
[2.5] Tuohy: Brilliant for most of the night. Took marks in defence and kicked much better than most. A really good game.
[2] Murphy: Not as good as last week, but probably our most effective midfielder.
[1.5] Armfield: Armfield played one of his best games. He took marks that he hasn’t tried to for years. If he had kicked straight he would have won us the game.
[1.5] Jamison: Destroyed the Dogs forwards.
[1.5] Bell: Solid game with some nice bursts through the packs.
[1.5] Buckley: Excellent inn defence with his run and carry. His defensive work was much improved and his goal was one of the best of the year.
[1] Graham: Stepping up nicely.
[1] Curnow: Good at getting it and making it harder for his opponents to get it.
[1] Simpson: Except for his kicking, which was much below par, his game was excellent.
[0.5] Cripps: Deserved more votes, but his output went down when he was injured.
[0.5] White: Very good in defence.
[0.5] Everitt: When he went off our forward line stopped functioning. He took a couple of great marks and was really showing the Dogs that they made a mistake.
Honourable Mentions:
Yarran: Almost vote worthy.
Kreuzer: Brilliant early, but was well beaten after half time. Ran out of gas and couldn’t find the ball in the air.
Wood: Tried his guts out and took some great marks. However, his influence waned to almost nothing after half time.
Henderson: Worked hard.
Other Comments:
[1] Umpiring: We really need to complain about this. This was just so bad that English doesn’t have a word to describe it adequately. Poorer than the Greek Economy.
[2] I also find it incredible that Stringer was named in their best players with 10 possessions. The 3 goals hurt, but otherwise he was thrashed. He got half of his possessions in the period he was in the middle of the ground and provided zero as a forward, but for a 5 minute burst. His various opponents
[3] Kicking for goal: that was just so bad.
