Well, this week we really hit rock bottom. Not only was it a terrible performance with few redeeming features, but it inspired only 6 people to vote. I have never seen voter turnout this low. It is barely a third of a our normal voting population.
AFL 2019 Rd 9: Carlton vs GWS in Sydney
A 93 point loss. No excuses. Just poor.
Points of Interest:
[1] Only 6 people voted. That isn't even enough to smooth out the outliers. 16 voters voted this round last year (for another ordinary loss). Just not good enough.
[2] Few few players managed to get a vote. Only 8 guys got a mention and only two got a reasonable mention.
[3] This was the first game this year that Cripps did not get a vote. He till gas an enormous lead, but he played one of his very few really poor games.
[4] De Boer's game on Cripps showed the effect of having a really good player being shut down. We no longer even try that, much to our disservice. We really need someone to play this sort of game for us each week.
[5] The rating was exactly 5.0. Every single voter gave it an 'F'. That is the equal lowest rating I've ever seen.
Votes:
Newman, Nicholas 275
McKay, Harrison 217
Silvagni, Jack 92
Walsh, Sam 83
Kreuzer, Matthew 42
Fisher, Zac 17
Curnow, Edward 17
Casboult, Levi 8
What is there to say? I can at least be happy I didn't see this debacle.
From this point we have 2 choice: this can be our Manzikert, or it can be our Chippenham. I am hoping for Chippenham, but that assumes our leadership can emulate Alfred the Great. What I fear is that they are too much like Romanus Diogenes (the Roman Emperor who lost at Manzikert, a battle the Empire was never to truly recover from).
