Jim Park Analysis 2019

[crashlander]

Rd 23: Carlton vs Geelong in Geelong.
Sorry it has taken so long, but I was really hoping that a few more people would vote.  :-[ :-[ :-[
I should have realized that nobody would after 1 week.
Never mind, it is Brownlow Medal Day and I need to get this out.

[1] Only 7 people voted this round, an all time low. I guess, like myself, that not many of us could see the game in one form or another. However, the number was less than half of normal.

[2] The rating for this round was 6.00, which represents an E. A very disappointing way to finish the season. However, when you kick against a strong wind for 3 quarters, it was hard to expect anything else.

[3] Only 6 players rated a mention this week, another huge low!

[4] 5 out of 6 players managed to get over 100 votes, which is strong. However, that doesn’t make up for the huge numbers of relative non-performers.

[5] 5 out of 6 of this round’s vote getters are the 5 top vote getters for the season. This is also quite unusual.

Ultimate Votes:
Cripps, Patrick 223
Murphy, Marc 189
Weitering, Jacob 171
Curnow, Edward 171
Walsh, Sam 103
Simpson, Kade 43

[1] Congratulations to Patrick Cripps, winner of this year’s Jim Park Award. Crippa managed to get 4422 votes, to win by over 2000 votes from Sam Walsh.
Crippa was our best player on 10 occasions. This was 7 more than Nick Newman, who was BOG 3 times.

[2] The other positions were quite close together.
2070 - Walsh, Sam (103)
1970 - Weitering, Jacob (172)
1952 - Murphy, Marc (189)
1867 - Curnow, Edward  (172)
With only 200 votes between 2nd and 5th, things really did come down to the last round.

[3] Sam Walsh was 2nd, with 2070 votes. He did not get a single BOG but managed to get votes every single week. He was in the top 5 vote getters 13 time this season.

[4] Jacob Weitering also didn’t manage a single BOG. However, he was in the best 17 times.

[5] Nick Newman was BOG 3 times, while Jones managed 2 BOG’s. Nobody else had more than one.

[Jack Burton]

Thanks for that, I really enjoy the Jim Park award. Cripps a very deserving winner, but also a phenomenal performance by Walsh in his first season

[LP]

Thanks Crash, sterling effort as usual.

Id' say that leaves Newman our most under-rated player by some margin!

[flyboy77]

Indeed, sterling effort Crash.

And a great effort by Levi - hope he stays!

[DJC]
