Well, we lost our coach and looked all the world like a basket case, and what happens? Well, we still lost, but we did play like there was just a little bit of heart there.
It was a welcome change.
It will be interesting to see how we go this week against a team definitely not as good as Sydney. Pity Eddie Betts is such a star!
This year we managed more voters than we did this time last year, and that was for a win! So, it seems like we do care and we did respond in the only way we can. Now for the players to notice. ;D ;D
The rating was also improved: at 6.98 it is our 2nd best rating for the year and corresponds to about a D (I think that in itself says volumes about how poor we have been this year, but that is another tale).
The Votes: Round 9: Carlton vs. Sydney in Sydney:
Cripps, Patrick 279
Bell, Tom 255
Simpson, Kade 155
Rowe, Sam 81
Everitt, Andrejs 74
Wood, Cameron 74
Docherty, Sam 57
Carrazzo, Andrew 35
Curnow, Edward 26
White, Simon 20
Armfield, Dennis 15
Casboult, Levi 4
Tuohy, Zach 2
Simmo continues his renaissance with a strong 2nd spot, but Patrick Cripps again score the lollies as BOG. We like what we see when we look at Cripps, and with so few recruits making an impression in recent years, so we should! Docherty also shows we made a good score wen we got him from Brisbane. Now if they could send us some more talent, we would be appreciative.

Docherty maintains a lead, but has had it cut back. Cripps flies into 2nd place, displacing Judd (who could not play). Bell moves into a solid 3rd, moving Judd back to 4th, while Curnow, who started the year in career worst form, has moved up to 7th.
Dennis Armfield can also hold his hand out for his pay with a decent 256 votes.
At the other end, Yarran is barely holding onto 18th place. It is not a strong showing from a guy who should be in the top few. Walker is 20th, and while his early injuries do offer him some excuse, we really need more from a guy who should be a leader.
Not that Gibbs is setting the world on fire: at 16th he is a LONG way from his great year in 2014.
Robert Warnock is not doing his chances of even playing next year any good: he has managed 3 votes to be 2nd last on the table.
But even worse is that Dale Thomas and Jamo have yet to score a single vote, and hence do not fit on the scale at all. Again, both have had injuries, but these guys are supposed to be leaders of our club.
Of the recruits, none of the 2014 has made a decent mark as yet, although some of 2013's are coming through. Of the 2014 players, Tutt is the clear leader (122 votes), and he has played 2 decent games. Liam Jones is next highest with 12 votes.
These stats are pretty ugly. Hopefully we can do something about them in the weeks to come. At this point I would doubt that any Carlton player has picked so much as a single Brownlow vote outside of the St. Kilda game. There are a few guys who would be unlucky if that was the case, but we have not attract votes much in recent years, even when we win.
