I don't normally vote when I don't see anything of the game. However, I do wish to put in my 2 cents worth under the circumstances.
I have based my votes solely on the statistics, which is also something I usually avoid. But, for once, the stats tell a very positive story.
There will be no reasonable explanations this week though, as every thought I have had comes only from the raw stats. I do apologize if my opinions vary considerably to those who were lucky enough to be at the Cake Tin, or were lucky enough to have Pay TV.
Team: B
I was tempted to give a B+, but with such a ineffective start I couldn't justify anything more.
Votes:
[3] Murphy
[2.5] Cripps
[2] Bell
[2] Henderson
[1.5] Everitt
[1.5] Tuohy
[1] Walker
[1] Carrazzo
[0.5] Wood
Explanations:
[3] Murphy 34 possessions, named BOG, winning the medal and getting 24 contested possessions, the 2nd most in Carlton records. 11 tackles to top it off.
[2.5] Cripps More than 30 possessions, 23 of them contested (4th best ever for a Blue).
[2] Bell Goals, possessions and judos from the scribes. I am sorry I missed this effort.
[2] Henderson 5 goals and a dominant display on the forward line.
[1.5] Everitt According to the stats, Everitt was our 2nd best performer. His possessions hit the target.
[1.5] Tuohy 25 possessions, marks tackles and even a couple of goals.
[1] Walker Lots of ball.
[1] Carrazzo Considering that he had hardly got hold of the ball in the first half, he ended up high in the possessions. he also had a defensive job, which was excellent after half time (his man had very few touches after half time).
[0.5] Wood Lots of taps and 16 possessions suggests he did pretty well.
Honourable Mentions:
I cannot say which of rest deserve a mention, so I will leave this blank this week. if I had to suggest someone I would suggest Blaine Boekhorst, who started well, but ran out of gas and Dennis Armfield, who had 10 possessions after half time. But....
