The Majak Daw Medal for spuds who play career games v the Dogs

The way you're asking made me instantly think Gardner (and I promise I haven't checked). Had a thought about it, usually players in his position have a really high DE due to taking low risk dish offs to players around them or easy switch kicks to open players. Iirc he didn't have much of it at all, and the less they get the less chances they have to fluff a disposal. And he didn't have (for once) any egregiously disastrous attempts at switch kicks yesterday and seemed to not make any mistakes (if he had made a mistake we'd all be talking about it).

I'm locking in Gardner.
Correct! 3 kicks, 4 hb, 3 marks. SC points 58, av 37

One of these is not like the others :(

In fact quite a few other prognostications didn’t eventuate.

I nominate Jack Steven, up against his old teammate, Josh Bruce. Or maybe it will be the other way round...

Here is the table from the Hun with player ratings. They had two who were 30% or more better than av SC points - Rohan was rated second best player [121 v 75] after not getting a touch in the first quarter so he wins I guess. The other was Atkins [82 v 50]
@MJG14 tipped this!

Plenty of contenders this week. [Not familiar with most of them.]
I guess L Duggan wins as he was rated their best? [117 pt - av 83]
But strong effort from T Hickey - 96 v av. 53. Not greatly damaging with only 8 possies tho????

Also handy:
T Barrass [112/82]
L Ryan [100/72]
T Cole [94/73] and
L Jetta [94/69]

Liam was auditioning (again) for a move to the club of his heart. Sadly (for him), he's not probably a priority.

Slim pickings for Majak contenders - more of a team effort loss for the Hawks.
Of their top rated players, Gunston [91 v 78], Burgoyne [88v70] and Breust [87v78], all rated moderately better than average. O'Brien rated 6th best was the only one in their top 20 rating 30% higher than normal.
I'm giving it to Burgoyne just ahead of O'Brien.

In what world is Burgoyne a spud or did he play a career best game?

Yeah bit nasty calling him a spud :devil:
His rating av is only 70 though so he is someone who hasn't rated too highly but improved against us.
Objection noted!
