Rd 3: Carlton vs GWS
A win is a win, but particularly at a ground where we’ve rarely won. Also, we won travelling interstate, another thing we haven’t done much of for a long time. As such, I’ll take it.
Rating: B
In the circumstances, I’ll take it. But I hope we can do better against North.
Votes:
[3] Nick Newman

[2] Sam Docherty
[1] Adam Cerra
[1] Adam Saad
[1] Blake Acres
[1] Jack Silvagni
[1] Charlie Curnow
[0.5] Jesse Motlop
[0.5] Marc Pittonet
[0.5] Jacob Weitering
[0.5] Mitch McGovern
Explanations:
[3] Nick Newman: Destroyed his opponent and got the ball a lot.
[3] Patrick Cripps: 42 possessions and 13 clearances.
[2] Sam Docherty: best game for the year so far. Brilliant, especially in the 3rd quarter.
[1] Adam Cerra: Very solid game from Cerra.
[1] Adam Saad: Not as brilliant as he has been, but still did a great job.
[1] Blake Acres: Excellent, even though injured.
[1] Jack Silvagni: Best game for a while. He got a lot of the ball and made great decisions.
[1] Charlie Curnow: If he could have kicked straight, we’d be lauding this game, as he played well on a really good opponent. Alas, he kicked 2 goals 4! Could have had 7 or 8!
[0.5] Jesse Motlop: Promising.
[0.5] Marc Pittonet: Good job in the ruck and around the ground.
[0.5] Jacob Weitering: Destroyed his opponent again.
[0.5] Mitch McGovern: Really solid job across half back.
Honourable Mentions:
Matthew Owies: Brilliant until he did his hamstring. Would have got votes if he’d played the full game.
Corey Durdin: Really good negatively, but needs more possessions.
George Hewett: Not at his normal form, clearly looking after his hand, but still got a fair bit of the ball.
Zac Fisher: Normally, if he’d had this many possessions he’d have had a lot more impact. But he didn’t have the impact I’d prefer.
Tom de Koning: Almost vote worthy. Good job in the ruck, but needs to work on his disposal.
