It is not easy to rate players but I have given a (+) where I think they have played above the grade by giving their all (eg. Grover, Mundy), or a (-) where i think they can play better with more consistent application (eg. Black, Josh Carr).

Pretty close to the mark.
I would have rated Carr's season a little lower considering it wasnt as good as it as last season.
Headland deserves a higher rating, allot of the errors from 04 in my opinion have gone, he seems to be the balanced player we know he can more consistently.
Thornton cops it allot, but he came from nowhere, has obviously been talk to run off his player and from what I have seen does extremely well considering his obvious lacking in the weight department.

I think you have to take into consideration what was expected of each player prior to the season. You've given Dodd, Peake, Crowley, Headland and Polak C grades or a C+. Because very little was expected of Peake and Crowley before the season they have exceded expectations and deserve a B+, with Peake almost deserving an A. Headland and Polak needed to take the next step and didn't so deserve a C- or a D. One good game against richmond doesn't make a season Des and he was terrible against port. The rest look about right though.

You forgot to rate connely...l recon if he did not get signed up early he wouldve got the sack.

I reckon Pav should have been given an A+. Everyone thought he do well in his new role, but not to the extent where he's likely to win the AA CHF jumper.

Look Pav had a darn good year, but I reckon he can do better ........ I am holding off with the + until he absolutely "pants" 3 opponents every game.

The story of Freo's season is in the number of players who got B, they must lift next season to A. eg. Hase, Bell, Carr's, Schammer etc.
