What is the world record for this award? Will Walsh break it?

What is the world record for this award? Will Walsh break it?

Good question. I can look through the ones I have recorded, but I can't do much about the previous ones. I'd say he is going to give top spot in my time one hell of a  shake.

Cripps' 2019 season might be worth a look. He dominated everything.

Carlton vs GWS
Another huge disappointment where our players didn’t turn up. We had some good patches, but we just didn’t have the desire on the day.

Trends:
[1] With another poor effect, the voters were pushed away. Only 10 people voted. This is a very low number.

[2] The rating was 5.67, the lowest score for the year. We’ve got used to us being competitive, so this effort was poorly received. 5.67 represents an E-.

[3] Thirteen players managed to get a mention, which is reasonable, but the spread of relatives low scores represents the fact that we didn’t have a lot of winners on the day.

[4] Only 2 players managed more than 100 votes. They were Matthew Kennedy and Patrick Cripps.

[5] This was Sam Walsh’s worst game of the season, with 10th being his lowest finish and 20 being his lowest number of votes. On the other hand, it was Kennedy’s best effort by some margin and his 1st BOG.

[6] Only one player, Kennedy, managed to get votes from every voter. That says a hell of a lot. Cripps and Jones attract most voters.

Walsh retains his lead of close to 2000 votes. Weitering has solidified 2nd spot, but after that things are relatively close between 3 players.

It is just so much no9cer doing this after a win!

Carlton vs Adelaide at Marvel
After three ordinary performances in a row, it was very nice to see the Blues get over the line.

Trends:
[1] We had only 12 people voting for this game, which is hugely down for what is normal for a win. Usually when we win, we get between 17 – 19 voters. 12 voters is a number more common when we lose.
Hopefully, we can reverse that process next week.

[2] At 8.92, this win was rated among the best we have for the season. A huge increase after last week, where we as bad as we have been this season. Considering the GWS just beat Melbourne, that loss may not have been quite as bad as we first considered. A score of 8.92 is almost a B.

[3] 16 players managed a mention this week, which is a significant improvement over last week.

[4] 4 players managed more than 100 votes this week, double what we got last week. Not only that, but Sam Walsh again had a standout game that scored very highly.

[5] For the 8th time this season Sam Walsh was BOG. That is an outstanding effort. He not been outside the top 10 vote getters in any game this season.

[6] Liam Jones deserves a mention for three straight top 3 performances. He is having a fine season.

[7] 3 players got votes from every voter, Walsh, Jones and Weitering. Three others got close.

[8] Zac Williams continues his improved performances since being moved back into defence. Not yet what we were hoping for, but he is, at least, earning some of his money. Adam Saad, however, is still looking to be our best pick-up at this point. His is attracting votes and is averaging more possessions this year than in any previous one.

[9] Paddy Dow continues his resurrection, getting votes for the 3rd time in a row. This was his best effort for the year to date.

Carlton vs Fremantle at the MCG
Another solid effort against a team that had pretentions of finals action. It would have been nice if we could have managed a 4 quarter effort, but we can't have everything.

Trends:
[1] There were 16 voters this week, which 4 better than last round and 1 less than for the same round last year. Not yet back to our best, but nice to see the numbers on the up.

[2] The rating this week was 8.90, which represents a B. This is the 4th best for the season. Does this say something about our season? I think so.

[3] For the second week in a row 16 players deserved a mention. This is impressive in anyone’s language. I guess it shows that when we win, it tends to be a real team effort.

[4] 4 players managed 100 or more votes this week, also for the second week in a row.

[5] It was another Weitering-Walsh Quinella, with those players being in 1st and second spots for the 4th time this season.

[6] Four players managed to get votes from every voter, including Paddy Dow for the first time.

[7] Jack Martin continues to disappoint. Whether he is fully fit is an issue, as he hasn’t made an impact for more than a quarter. Saad, on the other hand, continues to be more than serviceable. He has been a good pick-up.

Carlton vs Geelong:
One that got away.  Not our worst game, but our worst kicking.

Trends:
[1] There were 12 voters this week, which is pretty average for a loss. Last week we managed 16, but that was a win. We had 13 voters for this round last year.

[2] The rating this week was 7.72, which represents a C-. Disappointing, as we had a lot going for us. But our disposal was so ordinary.

[3] There were 11 players who managed a mention this week, which is somewhat down from last week.

[4] We had 4 players who managed 100 votes or more. Normally, this is a good sign. But this week it isn’t: it meant that we had only a couple of 4 quarter winners.

[5] It was another Weitering/Walsh quinella, where both players managed excellent scores.

[6] Only two players managed votes from every voter.

Carlton vs. Collingwood!
A win for the ages! If we played with the same heart each week, we would never lose!

Trends:
[1] Only 13 people voted this round! I found it amazing, as we beat our oldest foe, but nobody was interested in voting.
Serious, wins usually have between 17 to 19 votes. 13 is only one more than our usual for a loss!

[2] The rating, 9.36, was the highest we’ve managed this year! That represents a B+. In that, it is unusual. We usually have a couple of games each year which score an overall A. Not his time, but there are 4 rounds left.

[3] Sam Walsh was BOG again. This is the 10th time this season he’s been our BOG. Those numbers are Judd-like!

[4] There were 15 players who got a mention this week, a very solid number. A lot of players did their bit.

[5] 4 players managed 100 votes or better this week. That has been typical of our wins this year.

[6] There were 1404 votes in total this week, which is the highest for the year. This is something special, considering that only 13 people voted.

[7] Only Sam Walsh got votes from everyone this week. The other three top votes getters missed out by at least one voter.

[8] Jacob Weitering continues to have a strong season. He has only missed top 10 status for 2 games so far. Liam Stocker can celebrate five games in a row in the top 10, the only five of his career to date. Jack Silvagni has also been significant in voting of late.

Carlton vs North Melbourne
If last round was a win for the ages, this was probably the worst loss of the year. North were on the bottom. However, with the injuries we have, the result was not that ridiculous: it just hurt!

Trends:
{1] Only 7 people bothered to vote this round, but far the lowest I can ever recall. We usually get about 12 voters when we lose, but this was something else. This round last year we had 18 voters.

[2] That said, it was not the lowest rating of the year. 5.93 might not be a great rating, but it is higher than higher than it was in two earlier games. And it was not the lowest number of votes. The rating represents an E.

[3] Four players managed 100 + votes, but none of the scores was particularly high. When we win, someone usually get 300+. Top votes this round was just 153.

[4] Congratulations to Jack Silvagni for his first BOG. His recent form has been nothing short of excellent.

[5] 12 players managed a mention this round, which is not that bad. Unfortunately, many didn’t get many votes. SPS was dropped after garnering 13 votes.

[6] Two players, Cripps and Silvagni got votes from every voter. Walsh missed one.

[7] Sam Walsh continued his run of top 2 finishes.

Carlton vs St. Kilda
One of our better wins for the season, considering what we had available. Pity we couldn't play out the four quarters.

Trends:
[1] There were 14 voters for this game, only 2 above the lowest number we’ve had for a win. With no crowd, and our poor recent form, we probably won’t get better until next year.

[2] The rating, 9.83, was the best of the year. This represents an A-. Fair enough too, consider the players we have available.

[3] We had 5 players get 100+ votes, the best of the year. That was a real positive in an ordinary season.

[4] Very close at the top this week between Walsh and Silvagni. Brilliant efforts from both of them.

[5] 16 players had a mention this week, which is also the best we’ve managed since I was doing this job. That was truly magnificent. Pity we can’t manage it each week. It would do much for our mental health. Especially mine.

[6] Only [color=limegreen]one[/color] player, Jack Silvagni, got votes from everyone. Two others got votes from all but one.

[7] Sam Walsh continues to have top 2 finishes. Brilliant effort from a brilliant player.
