2018 Jim Park Medal Analysis

[crashlander]

And the winner is .....  ^-^

Carlton vs Adelaide: Rd 23: What a debacle! A few good things, but so many poor ones. Sort of describes the season.  >

Not many voters interested this week: 12 people bothered and nobody was really happy. Still, the number was better than this game last year, where we had just 11.
The rating was another very poor one: 5.28, which doesn't reach an F+.  :-[  No big surprise when you lose by 100 points, but ...
15 players rated a mention, although few did enough to be really noticeable.

Votes:
Cripps, Patrick 312
McKay, Harrison 112
Polson, Cameron 112
Weitering, Jacob 79
Lobbe, Matthew 70
Byrne, Ciaran 47
Thomas, Dale 35
Silvagni, Jack 21
Lamb, Jed 14
Murphy, Marc 9
Marchbank, Caleb 9
O'Brien, Lochie 7
Simpson, Kade 5
Petrevski - Seton, Sam 5
Kerridge, Sam 2

Weitering would have scored much better if he hadn't had to go off injured. Polson played what was arguably his best game, ... and Patrick Cripps was Patrick Cripps!

Congratulations to Patrick Cripps! 2018 Jim Park Medalist!

Let'c consider the top 5 for a moment:
5571 - Cripps, Patrick
2030 - Curnow, Edward
1908 - Simpson, Kade
1723 - Thomas, Dale
1542 - Curnow, Charles

[1] Cripps was 3541 votes in front of 2nd place getter, Ed Curnow. 3541 votes! If he had got 3541 votes all up he would still have won by some margin, but to WIN by that margin! Not even Judd managed that.
[2] Ed Curnow started the season well, but fell away near the end. Still 2030 votes is not unreasonable.
[3] Charlie moved up into the top 5, but also fell away late in the season.
[4] Our oldest 2 players managed to get into the top 5, Daisy for the first time. That is impressive.
