AFL Rd 3: Carlton vs North Melbourne
Rating: A
A win by almost ten goals is worth an A, especially as North do have a bunch of talented youngsters who kicked 3 of the first 4 goals (granted that the Umpire helped significantly). Still, we won every quarter and finished the game off.

Votes:
[2] Patrick Cripps
[2] George Hewett
[2] Harry McKay
[1.5] Matthew Kennedy
[1] Jacob Weitering
[1] Elijah Hollands
[1] Adam Cerra
[1] Adam Saad
[1] Blake Acres
[0.5] Lochie Fogarty
[0.5] Matthew Owies
[0.5] Nic Newman
[0.5] Charlie Curnow
[0.5] Tom de Koning

Explanations:
[2] Patrick Cripps: Crippa deserved about 10 votes with the game he played today. He broke tackles, he had 9 clearances and heaps of score involvements: between him and George Hewett, they had 21 score involvements. 5 tackles and a goal. A superb game.
[2] George Hewett: Not much behind Cripps, George was in everything. He had 9 clearances and 6 tackles and was strong and powerful all game.
[2] Harry McKay: 20 possessions and 10 marks and CHF, not to mention 5 excellent goals, H destroyed his opponents.
[1.5] Matthew Kennedy: His best game for the year, he was strong and hard and got the ball a lot.
[1] Jacob Weitering: A top game in defence.
[1] Elijah Hollands: Ordinary early, he picked up a lot after quarter time and ended up with 22 possessions and a goal. An excellent first up effort.
[1] Adam Cerra: Not as prolific as he can be, but his marking and precision kicking were real highlights.
[1] Adam Saad: A typical Saad game, lot of run, lots of ball and his opponents looking on in awe.
[1] Blake Acres: More territory than anyone else, he was very strong when it was necessary. His kicking was not at its best.
[0.5] Lochie Fogarty: 17 possessions for a negative small forward, his workrate and tackling provided others with goals.
[0.5] Matthew Owies: Not a huge game, but 3 goals and a lot of negative stuff.
[0.5] Nic Newman: Did his job and gid it well.
[0.5] Charlie Curnow: Not at his best, but was still lethal. Dropped a couple of sitters and could have had 6 or 7.
[0.5] Tom de Koning: Worked hard in the ruck and probably lowered his colours to Xerri, but when he came off, it was magical! Good around the ground.

Honourable Mentions:
Zac Williams: Another strong game in defence.
Mitch McGovern: Another excellent job in defence.
Oliver Hollands: Not as prolific as he can be, but did some great stuff!
