This was probably our most ordinary game under Johnny Barker, and pretty uninspiring games all up. We lost Gibbs for the rest of the year and Armfield for at least 4 weeks (probably more - breaks don't heal overnight). The umpiring was diabolical and cost us far too much. Our skills were ordinary at best in some freezing conditions.
I am happy that so few games are played under those conditions.
We managed 12 voters this week, still an improvement over this time last year, even though we lost. Voting this week will be interesting. I do not have pay TV so I won't be seeing any of the game. I doubt I will be voting, as my only way to work things out will come from following the statistics and they can be misleading. Hopefully those with pay TV or those lucky enough to be at the game can give us an idea of who really deserved a vote.
This round's rating was 7.08, just over a D. This is a reasonable representation of our effort.
The Votes: Round 15: Carlton vs. Richmond
Kreuzer, Matthew 204
Murphy, Marc 201
Gibbs, Bryce 177
Tuohy, Zach 156
Buckley, Dylan 109
Simpson, Kade 89
Carrazzo, Andrew 86
Cripps, Patrick 12
Curnow, Edward 12
Bell, Tom 9
Tutt, Jason 6
Holman, Nick 3
I think the results say something about our night where our best player (Kreuzer, in his 1st BOG in years) was actually beaten in the ruck by former Blue Hampson. That may have you scratching your heads, but it is a good measure of how we went.
Murphy managed 2nd place, a few votes ahead of Gibbs (a good effort on his return from suspension, especially when he was crippled in the last quarter with injury). Zac Tuohy and Dylan Buckley continued their good recent form.
Cripps had a quiet game for him.

Murphy snuck ahead of Cripps, but things are close at the top. Nor is there much space between Bell and Docherty in 3rd and 4th places.
Judd remains in 5th spot almost half a season since his demise.
We have played 9 debutants this season, with a 10th, Brad Walsh, getting his go tonight. Of those 9 players 7 of them have managed votes so far. Tutt leads them with 128 votes, even with his significant problems (being unable to hold a tackle against anyone older than 10 years of age, for example).
