MVP Didaka Award - {redacted} v {redacted}

[manicmagpie]

I’ve redacted the thread title as after completing my duties here I don’t ever want to mention this game again.

Votes given are not to be considered an endorsement of that player’s performance.

5: Elliott
4: Adams
3: Pendles
2: Crisp
1: De Goey

 

[grayza2018]

Get this out of the way early and forget, I think

5 Taylor Adams
4 Josh Thomas
3 Jamie Elliott
2 Scott Pendlebury
1 Josh Daicos

 

[sloth6]

I can’t pick one let alone five players.

Lol

5 Adams
4 JT
3 Elliott
2 Daicos
1 Stephenson purely for that goal. So good that he fisted the air when 11 goals down.

5 Elliott

3 Adams

Would stop there. Will give the final two on effort and not being completely s**t:

2 Cox
I Crisp I suppose

 

[hellfire]

5. Elliott - for that nice first goal and 6 clearances
4. Adams - for trying hard
3. Thomas - for being clean-ish and being slightly better than terrible
2. Quaynor - a few good moments
1. De Goey - for getting up to 33.5 kmph on the Telstra tracker

 

[Sea fog]

Elliott - he was the only player who started well and kept going.

 

[jsdsgn]

Embarrassing that Josh Thomas was probably our best player.

Didak's name does not deserve to be associated with this game.

5. Elliott - Only player I'd say was a pass for our team
4. Thomas - Gave 100% effort
3. Adams - Also gave 100% effort
2. Mihocek - I know his goals came late but you can't blame him for doing that as the ball was never down there. When called upon, he delivered.

Gaps after this, everyone outside those 4 were bad. Just have to pick the one I thought who was not as bad as the others

1. Grundy - This name may surprise but with so many players playing so bad, he was hard to look past. 10 touches, 20 hit outs and a goal isn't a shocking return from 65% game time. The only other 2 I considered were Daicos and Quaynor

Fair assessment, but I don't place much credence in late goals etc because Cats had put cue in the rack.

Normally, neither but we were just so bad that I did in this one case

The fact is that the ball went in enough for Stewart to take 14 marks.

Thought our entries were abysmal

They were not great but surely our forwards do not have to get outmarked or outpositioned the whole time.

I do agree. Yesterday, was a day I just want to forget

 

[gouki88]

Even harder than last week, for completely different reasons.

5. Elliott
4. Adams (never stopped running)
3. Thomas
2. Cox (never stopped trying)
1. Moore (a few nice defensive efforts especially early)

 

[Jen2310]

Game is a blur, but from what I do recall..

5. T. Adams.
4. J. Thomas
3. J. Elliott
2. J. Daicos
1. B. Mihochek

 

[Sea fog]

The fact that Adams (and nothing against him) is routinely in the top 5 and often best despite getting outgunned and horribly butchering the ball shows how poor we really were.

[Tarkyn_24]

I know this isn’t a discussion thread but I’m genuinely shocked at how many people are finding space for Daicos in his votes. Multiple occasions last night he was incredibly weak defensively in contests or didn’t run hard enough to impact and pressure. He’s usually okay so to fail to do those things was inexcusable.

Agree it’s hard to find another name in his stead though. Henderson was off the leash all game, so if he was matched up on Mihocek that’s a huge fail for mine too.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

14 marks, not 14 intercept marks. He’s the outlet player, they would’ve been looking to play through him at every opportunity. With a lumbering, cumbersome forward line he could do as he pleased but let’s not act like he outpointed our forwards on fourteen occasions
