AFL 2024 Rd 10: Carlton vs Sydney
Our worst game by some margin: the only time this year that we've been comprehensively beaten and broken.

Trends:
[1] There were 14 voters this round, which is reasonable consider that we lost so badly. Please, do take the time to vote. Everyone is appreciated.

[2] The rating was a 6.36, which is a E+. The first time all year the rating so significantly low.

[3] 14 players managed a mention this week, which shows that most players made some sort of contribution. However, not many of those contributions were winning ones.

[4] The average vote this week was 19. By far the worst for the year.

[5] 3 players managed 100 votes or more this week.

[6] Nic Newman was BOG with 328 votes. He was a long way in front ofBlake Acres (143 votes) and Mar Pittonet ( 138 votes).

[7] Only one player managed votes from everyone this week, Nic Newman.

[8] Our youngsters were not significant this week, although a couple were recognized for their efforts.

[9] Our defenders were the main area of vote getting, which tells you something of the game.

[2] The rating was a 9.35, which is an B+. Consioderably better thanlast week!

[3] 16 players managed a mention this week, which is nothing short of excellent. We had a lot of players who won their position and pretty much everybody did something significant to contribute.

[4] The average vote this week was 32. Considering last week it was 19, you can easily see the improvement.

[5] 4 players managed 100 votes or more this week. A great contribution from all 4.

AFL 2024 Rd 16: Carlton vs Richmond
They challenged us and we responded in the best possible way.

Trends:
[1] There were 11 voters this round, which is pretty ordinary for a win over a team we all generally hate. Please do vote: it is something we appreciate.

[2] The rating was a 9.91, which is almost an A. We haven't had many better this year, although last week's was on a whole other level.

[3] 16 players managed a mention this week, which is still excellent. We had a lot of players who won their position and pretty much everybody did something significant to contribute. And we really did share the votes around!

[4] The average vote this week was 34!, even with us sharing the votes around! That is the 2nd best that I can recall, behind only last week.

[5] 5 players managed 100 votes or more this week, which equals our best. It shows how dominant we were in various phases.

[6] Patrick Cripps managed a Judd-like 432 votes to be BOG this week, his 5th BOG for the season and his 11th time in the top three positions. Sam Walsh and Nic Newman filled the other two places.

[7] Only One player managed votes from everyone this week; Patrick Cripps. Walsh and Newman missed one.

[8] Our younger, less experienced players really stood up again, if not as prominent as they have been.

[9] This was a game where all sectors of the team made significant contributions. The top 3 vote getters were mids, but the numbers were spread among the other places. It was lovely to see how even our contributions were. (I like writing this.)

AFL 2024 Rd 17: Carlton vs GWS
Very disappointing. 1st quarter and last quarter were good. The rest were terrible.

Trends:
[1] There were 12 voters this round, which is par for the course when we lose. Please do vote: it is something we appreciate.

[2] The rating was a 7.28, which is almost an D+. This isn't that bad, but considering we lost by 2 goals...

[3] 13 players managed a mention this week, which, in the past, has been more than adequate. But for these days, when 15+ is the norm, it shows how ordinary we were.

[4] The average vote this week was 24!, even with us sharing the votes around! That is 3rd worst for 2024.

[5] 5 players managed 100 votes or more this week.

[6] Patrick Cripps managed an impressive 340 votes to be BOG this week, his 6th BOG for the season and his 12th time in the top three positions. Matthew Kennedy and Harry McKay filled the other two places.

[7] Three player managed votes from everyone this week; Patrick Cripps, Matthew Kennedy and Harry McKay.

[8] Our younger, less experienced players were generally missing this round, with only Jordan Boyd making an impression.

[9] This was a game where none of the sectors of the team made significant contributions. The top 3 vote getters were mids, and a key forward, where both those lines were down.

AFL 2024 Rd 18: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs
Very disappointing. We didn't play at all well, but we hung in there. That we weren't blown away says a lot about how much we've improved over the last couple of years, even if we're all bitterly disappointed in the result.

Trends:
[1] There were 8 voters this round, which is the lowest I can remember. Granted that we lost, but a few more people putting in their opinions would be appreciated. Please do vote, win, lose or draw: it is something we appreciate.

[2] The rating was a 5.95, which is almost an E. There was also a very large spread in the ratings; some of us were very dissatisfied, while others appreciated that we weren't thrashed. Hell, had Charlie could have kicked straight, we would have won, even with the poor play.

[3] 13 players managed a mention this week, which, in the past, has been more than adequate. But for these days, when 15+ is the norm, it shows how ordinary we were.

[4] The average vote this week was 26!, even with us sharing the votes around! That is 3rd worst for 2024.

[5] 3 players managed 100 votes or more this week.

[6] Patrick Cripps managed an impressive 351 votes to be BOG this week, his 7th BOG for the season and his 13th time in the top three positions. Weitering and Acres filled the other two places.

[7] Two player managed votes from everyone this week; Patrick Cripps and Weitering. Acres missed from 1 voter.

[8] Of our youngsters, only Elijah Hollands made an impression.

[9] This was a game where none of the sectors of the team made significant contributions. The top 3 vote getters were a mid, a defender and a key forward, but only one from each.

AFL 2024 Rd 19: Carlton vs North Melbourne
We won. We were good in patches, but not a 4 quarter effort.

Trends:
[1] There were 11 voters this round, which is very low for a win, even as unimpressive as this one was. Please do vote, win, lose or draw: it is something we appreciate.

[2] The rating was a 8.61, which is almost an B-. There was also a very large spread in the ratings; some of us were still dissatisfied.

[3] 16 players managed a mention this week. This is becoming the norm, something I am not disappointed about.

[4] The average vote this week was 29, which is the lowest for a win all season.

[5] 5 players managed 100 votes or more this week, which just hasn't happened until recently. I think it is a very positive sign.

[6] Patrick Cripps managed an impressive 336 votes to be BOG this week, his 8th BOG for the season and his 14th time in the top three positions and his 3rd BOG in a row! George Hewett and Charlie Curnow filled the other two places.

[7] One player managed votes from everyone this week; Patrick Cripps.

[8] Of our youngsters, a couple made minor contributions. Not bad efforts, but I'd like one or two of our youngsters to make a match-winning contribution sometimes. It would take the heat of guys like Cripps and Walsh.

[9] Our mids were probably he most significant, although Curnow and Weitering really showed out at either end.

Not good enough. We made Port look 2nd rate during the 2nd quarter, but the rest of the game ...

Trends:
[1] There were 10 voters this round, whioch wasn;t too bad considering how we lost. Please do vote, win, lose or draw: it is something we appreciate.

[2] The rating was a 6.70, which is almost an D-. There was also a very large spread in the ratings; some of us were very dissatisfied.

[3] 14 players managed a mention this week. This is becoming the norm, something I am not disappointed about.

[4] The average vote this week was 22, which is low. Not many voters, so not many votes.

[5] 4 players managed 100 votes or more this week, which was positive.
[6] Charlie Curnow managed 275 votes to be BOG this week, his 1st BOG for the season and only the 2nd time in the top three positionsfor this season! Cripps and Weitering filled the other two places.

[7] One player managed votes from everyone this week: Charlie Curnow. Cripps missed from 1 voter, Weitering missed from 2.

[8] Elijah Hollands was the main youngster to make a decent contribution. The rest were pretty quiet, but a lot of players were not as significant as they could be.

[9] No line dominated. One key defender, one mid and one forward stood out. More defenders did something, but the ball was in their region too often.
