Not a huge amount of interest in this game, as success was a very low probability event. However, we improved quite a lot from last time, with a much weaker side. Still, we need to beat the Hawthorn and Sydneys and Geelongs if we are to make an impression. We haven't been able to beat these sides for years.
I was a little surprised at the rating: 6.36. It was lower than last week and I thought we were worse against GWS. However, that is the way it was voted. 6.36 represents approximately an E+.
There were 12 voters this week, down 5 from this time last year. Considering how we have been, I am happy to see 12 people vote. Hopefully we can attract more voters next year.
My thanks to everybody who voted this year. Without your contributions, and the time you spend making them, this award would not be possible. Hopefully our performances in 2016 will attract more people to record their opinions. We do have a lot of strength in our diversity of opinions.
The Votes: Rd 23: Carlton vs. Hawthorn
Carrazzo, Andrew 307
Curnow, Edward 217
Cripps, Patrick 148
Everitt, Andrejs 74
Tutt, Jason 74
Tuohy, Zach 48
Kreuzer, Matthew 42
Bell, Tom 34
Rowe, Sam 8
Again, the votes were quite concentrated this week. Only 9 players garnered any votes from the voting public. That suggests that a lot of our boys didn't do a lot. Alas, statistics appear to verify that result.
Andrew Carrazzo bowed out with a BOG performance. Congratulations. Carrots hasn't managed these numbers for quite a while with his injury concerns. Ed Curnow was a very clear 2nd with 217 votes, while Patrick Cripps managed a respectable 148 votes.

Congratulations to Patrick Cripps in winning his 1st Jim Park medal. Hopefully the first of many. Cripps managed 3707 to comfortably pass Marc Murphy with 3476.
These 2 guys were the standouts in a poor season, where injury robbed of class from the very first minute, way back in April.
In 3rd spot was Tom Bell, over 1600 votes behind Murphy, and 1900 votes behind Cripps. Still, Bell's was an excellent effort. Bell managed to lead Docherty by less than 100 votes. Docherty's 4th placing, like Bell's 3rd placing, was a huge improvement over anything previous.
Next were Simpson and Kreuzer, separated by only 3 votes. They were over 200 votes ahead of Ed Curnow.
Some huge disappointments in 2015 were (in no particular order)
Robert Warnock (3 votes for the year)
David Ellard (2 votes for the year)
Troy Menzel (89 votes)
Chris Yarran (125 votes included 0 since Round 8)
Michael Jamison (159 votes including 0 for the first 12 rounds)
35 players managed votes in 2015, compared to 33 last year. Last year only 1 player got under 10 votes. This year there were 3 players.
40 players played senior football for us in 2015, with Dillon Viojo-Rainbow and Cat B rookie Fraser Russell being the only 2 players who could have played but didn't.
Last year we had 4 players get more than 2000 votes. This year there were just 2.
Cripps managed our top votes in 7 different games for the year, while finishing 2nd on 3 occasions . Murphy Managed 5 BOGs and 6 2nd places.
