Jim Park Analysis 2019

[crashlander]

Good thing come to those who wait? Maybe, but I've waited enough. I want more of this!

Rd 12: Carlton vs Brisbane with a new coach.
If Brisbane miss a top 4 finish, then they'll know why. The Blues were back in town and playing their best footy for a long time. Especially when Brisbane got out to a 37 point lead!

Points of Interest:
[1] This week we had 17 voters, up from 13 for this round last year and 10 who voted last week. Nor am I surprised, as we produced the sort of football that gets supporters involved instead of crap.

[2] The rating for this game was 9.39, which represents a B+. Almost double last week's rating. That says a lot all in itself.

[3] Last week 12 guys managed a mention, but barely that. That week 16 players deserved real votes.

[4] Cripps managed 547 votes, the best he has ever polled. No other player gets that in 2 weeks combined.

[5] Sam Walsh has managed votes in every game this season. Even Cripps hasn't managed that.

We were SOOOO close to making it 2 out of 2 for the new coach, but....
Yet, in some patches were were really ordinary. I guess the Dogs are not that good, but ...

Rd 13: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs at Marvel

Points of Interest:
[1] After an ordinary to poor season, Charlie Curnow burst back into the limelight in a spectacular way. It has been quite a while since a Carlton forward has been so prolific! His scores this week reflect that.

[2] We have 17 voters this week, the same as last week and 1 less than last year.

[3] This was the first time in a long time that Cripps did not dominate, and yet we were more than competitive. That is good for our development.

[4] 15 players deserved a mention this week. This says two things: we don't get enough 4 quarter efforts and we can be really good in patches.

[5] The rating this week, 7.59, represents more or less a C-, which also shows how inconsistent we were during the day.

RD 14: Carlton vs Fremantle in Fremantle: What a classic victory!

Points of Interest:
[1] 14 voters this week, even though the game was in Perth and not on free to air TV. That is one better than we managed for the same round in 2018.

[2] 14 players deserved a mention: a very positive sign.

[3] The votes were spread a lot more evenly this week, although Murphy and Ed Curnow were the standouts. This suggests that we thought it was a real team effort.

[4] The rating this week was 9.24, which is almost a B+! We played very well for 3 quarters, only very poorly in the first.

[5] A lot of guys got really solid votes this week. 6 players managed over 100 votes.

Rd 16: Carlton vs Melbourne
We played so poorly to be very unlucky to lose: if McGovern's kick hadn't grazed the post ...
Did we deserve it? Probably not.

Points of Interest:
[1] 14 voters again this week, 2 more than this round last year and the same as last week. Pretty good everything considered. It is not like we are (ever) on Free to air TV!

[2] Even though we were ordinary for much of the game, 12 players did enough to get noticed. However, there were very few 4 quarter efforts.

[3] The rating this week was 7.36, which represented a D+.

Carlton vs Sydney: an excellent win!

Points of Interest:
[1] 16 voters this week, compared to 15 voters last year and 14 last week. Nice to see an increase in voters as the Blues improve.

[2] A rating of 9.31 represents a B+, quite a reasonable result. I got tired of writing F's!

[3] 15 players managed a mention this week, the sign of a team where the players are contributing.

[4] 7 players polled more than 100 votes. That sort of evenness has been very rare at our club for a long time.

[5] This was Nick Newman's 2nd BOG for this year. Against his old team, that must have felt good. Nobody, other than Patrick Cripps, has more than 1 BOG. Cripps has 8 BOG's.

[6] One of our major underachievers, Darcy Lang, managed his first votes for the year!

Rd 18: Carlton vs Gold Coast
We finally win a game where we are favourites! Not perhaps our best game for the season, but it was good enough.

Points of Interest:
[1] The rating this week as 9.02, which represents a B. Good and solid. This time last year we were giving straight F's! Certainly winning is much better for my mental health!

[2] 15 people voted this week, one less than last week, but 3 more than for the same round last year.

[3] 14 players managed votes this week, a very solid number.

[4] Only 4 players this week managed 100 votes or more. But none of them were Patrick Cripps! That says something about the increased output by some of our players in recent weeks!

[5] This was Liam Jones' first BOG for the year, and the best game he's had since his return from concussion.

Cripps retains his huge lead, but the race for 2nd spot is wide open with Walsh, Curnow and Weitering very close together. With only a handful of game yet, 2nd spot is up for grabs!

AFL Round 19: Carlton vs Adelaide
A delight for Carlton fans as a 4-quarter effort snuffs the C®ows and leaves then vulnerable.

Points of Interest:
[1] 18 voters this round, which equals the same number from this round last year. We have struggled to get near this level of participation for quite a time now!

[2] 14 players had votes this week, an excellent reward for a real team performance.

[3] We managed a rating of 9.74, the best we have done for quite a while. This represents an A-. Magnificent!

[4] Cripps managed almost 500 votes this week, which is a huge number. Cripps has dominated the BOGs this season, as he did last year.

[5] Even with such a domination by Cripps, 5 players scored 100 or more votes.

Rd 20: Carlton vs West Coast
4 goals, with 8 of our best missing. Not too shabby, but our forward play was not god enough to win. But there will be other days.

Points of Interest:
[1] 16 Voters this week, compared to 13 for the corresponding game last year. Not to mention a reasonable crowd. We continue to generate interest, even with less than perfect results and an extended injury list. Hope springs eternal.

[2] 12 players managed to get votes in a losing team. Again, this is promising.

[3] The rating, 7.46, is between a D+ and a C-. Much better than the F's!

[4] Nick Newman managed his 3rd BOG this season, followed by Sam Walsh with his highest placing for the year, 2nd. Thank you, Sydney. You don't often provide us with favours.

[5] 4 players managed 100+ votes this week. Not too shabby for a team that lost.

Rd 21: Carlton vs Richmond
Not our best game. Such is life.

Points of Interest:
[1] 14 voters this week, compared to 12 for the same round last year. Not as good as last week, but we were terribly fumbly when the rain fell (which was for most of the game.

[2] The rating this week was 6.98, almost an exact D. Truly I think we could have beaten them in the dry, but that is another tale.

[3] 12 players deserved a mention, with the votes more spread out than usual. In the end a lot of guys did something, but there were not a lot of 4 quarter efforts and just not enough contributors at any one time.

[4] Even with a low rating, 5 players managed to get 100 or more votes. Jones managed his 2nd BOG in a month, even when being damaged in the process. Well done, Liam Jones!

[5] Daisy managed his 7th top 6 placing for the year. So did Weitering. Both will be in the top 10 at the Nicholls Medal in a few weeks’ time. Sam Walsh has been a top 10 vote getter 18 times this season.

Rd 22: The Penultimate Round - Carlton vs St. Kilda
Our last win for the season and a good one.

Points of Interest:
[1] There were only 12 voters this week, down from 15 this time last year. A bit disappointing, considering we had such a win. However, most weeks we have had similar numbers.

[2] The rating was 9.17, a little better than a B. Considering that the ‘Aints were still in it until the last quarter, we were pretty good.

[3] 17 players managed a mention this week. I haven’t checked yet, but that could well be the most all-round effort of the year.

[4] 4 players managed 100 votes or better, with a 99 as well. Very solid.

[5] Cripps played with an ear infection that had put him into hospital, and still was more than useful.

[6] Casboult play what arguably be his best ever game for us, with the 2nd highest number of intercept marks since the statistic has been recorded.

[7] McGovern, Kreuzer and Casboult managed their best rated games of the year.
