AFL Rd 14: Carlton vs Gold Coast
Team: A
Considering how we’ve been playing; I can’t score this effort any lower. Seriously, we played as good as any team this entire year. That second quarter was brilliant!

Votes:
It is going to be hard to give votes this week because so many players deserved a mention. I prefer it this way!

Explanations:
[2] Adam Cerra: An excellent game from Cerra; 27 disposals, 6 tackles and 8 clearances. A Cripps-like effort in the middle against a good midfield.
[1.5] Matthew Kennedy: An excellent game from Kennedy as well: 27 disposals, 9 clearances and 2 tackles. 9 clearances is more than the team managed last week!
[1.5] Jacob Weitering: Totally dominated one of the better forwards in the competition and produced real drive from defence.
[1.5] Patrick Cripps: 27 possessions, 4 tackles and 7 clearances to go with 3 goals. A big effort after being down for weeks.
[1.5] Sam Docherty: 32 possessions from Doc and not so many clangers. A strong game from Doc.
[1.5] Sam Walsh: Walsh’s best game for the year by some margin. 19 possessions, 3 tackles and 5 clearances.
[1] Brodie Kemp: Kemp had a really good game in defence, with his intercept marks and run. 20 possessions and 9 marks.
[1] Nic Newman: Nic Newman continues to play great games. We’ve missed him when he was injured.
[0.5] Adam Saad: Didn’t have to do as much but did what he did very well.
[0.5] Matthew Cottrell: A good game after a few quiet weeks. His goal kicking was a big positive.
[0.5] Harry McKay: Not a huge game, but he kicked 3 and di some great work in the forward line.
[0.5] Tom de Koning: 2 goals and a good effort in the ruck against one of the game’s best ruckmen.
[0.5] Jordan Boyd: Loved his run from defence.
[0.5] Mitch McGovern: Intercept marking was excellent, but a few bad kicks in the second half, or he’d deserve more votes.
[0.5] Paddy Dow: 8 possessions in less than a quarter and hit targets, the thing he has found most difficult. Very positive.

Honourable Mentions:
Jack Martin: Might still be struggling for fitness, but he really provided a option in the forward line. Not getting enough ball, but each possession was excellent.
David Cuningham: Not as many possessions as I hoped, but still a very positive return after such a long time. He showed plenty.
Lachie Fogarty: Didn’t have the number of possessions but did a good job and made a real contribution.
Charlie Curnow: If he’d kicked straight … Nichevo. Charlie played a very selfless game this week.
Blake Acres: Solid on the wing and didn’t turn the ball over as much as he can do.
Alex Cincotta: Provided some nice run and carry from defence.
