[AG]

9 - Watson
8.5 - Jetta, Richards
7.5 - Jack
7 - Kennedy, Ryder
6.5 - Howlett
5 - Stanton
2 - Crameri

I used to do 0.5 increments as well but that's what I would have gone with.

From Ess v Syd:
10 - Watson
9 - Howlett, Richards
8 - Jetta
7 - Kennedy, Jack
6 - Stanton, Hooker, Ryder
2 - Crameri

Very harsh on Ryder his ruck work was fantastic

 

[Dwight Schrute]

Very harsh on Ryder his ruck work was fantastic

I would have him at 7, ruck work was great but not as good around the ground.

 

[eaglespremiers]

I'm not going to do the top 50 this week because of the amount of teams having a bye.
Instead I will group the players who have played into three categories: Falling, Rising, Staying.
The categories should be pretty self-explanatory.

Rising:
Richards
Howlett
Jetta
Simpson
Cotchin
Sewell
Tuck
N. Riewoldt
Armitage

Falling
Ablett
Hawkins
Henderson
J. Riewoldt
Rance
Deledio
Crameri
Stanton
Whitecross

Staying
Judd
Franklin
Kennedy
Dal Santo
Jack
Ryder
Goddard
Roughead
Mitchell
Franklin
Surjan
Birchall
Broadbent

 

[hawkman]

Would Birchall be moving into the unluckies at least?

Will possibly be in the 50.
Have to wait until the byes are over.

 

[eaglespremiers]

From Coll v Melb:
10 - Beams (will rise)
9 - Swan (into the top 40), Sidebottom (stays in top 10)
8 - Clark (into the 50)
7 - Jones (may stay in the 50)
6 - Frawley (unluckies), Cloke, Thomas

 

[Surkin]

Thought Jones was better than Clark today and should definitely be ahead of him for the season overall.

Ok, you had him as staying, yet he hasn't made the unluckies yet

From Hawthorn i would be dropping Whitecross from the unluckies, Lewis will probably be around the edge of the 50 by the end of the bye weeks

It was an anomaly that I am rectifying by bumping him higher than perhaps his game on the weekend deserved.

 

[eaglespremiers]

From WCE v Carl:
10 - Naitanui
9 - Selwood
8 -Glass
7 - Cox
5 - Robinson, Simpson
4 - Henderson
2 - Judd

 

[eaglespremiers]

Oh, and if I was giving other players:
9 - Priddis
8 - Carrazzo (great game back from the champ)

 

[eaglespremiers]

Actually I might even give Carrazzo 9.

 

[hawkman]

How close was Naitanui to an 11?

 

[eaglespremiers]

How close was Naitanui to an 11?

Perhaps a non-bounce and a goal?
How close did you think he was?

 

[hawkman]

Perhaps a non-bounce and a goal?
How close did you think he was?

Very close. I'm not sure a ruckman could have played much more of a dominant game. Maybe the only thing is if he kicked a few goals as well

 

[robertg22]

On what planet is Carrazzo a champ? lol..

2 is very generous to Judd

 

[eaglespremiers]

2 is very generous to Judd

I was trying to decide between 1 & 2.
Usually I only give scores of 0 where players have zero impact and a handful of touches (by the way I upgraded Cloke's game against Adelaide from a 0 to a 1).
There were a couple of players worse than Judd, I'm thinking Lynch, Yarran and Joseph off the top of my head.
Could have easily been a 1 but a few other players being worse, plus the fact that he still got 12 touches, 8 tackles and 47 CD points I decided to give him 2 rather than 1. Despite him having zero impact on the game.

 

[eaglespremiers]

On what planet is Carrazzo a champ? lol..

I don't think the abbreviated word "champ" actually equates to "champion" anymore.
It probably means "player I appreciate" or something similar rather than "top echelon" or "superstar".
Hence, I can get away with it.

 

[eaglespremiers]

From Adel v StK:
10 - Thompson
9 - Tippett
8 - Jacobs, Dangerfield, Dal Santo
7 - Armitage, Steven, Reilly
6 - Sloane
5 - Hayes, Walker
4 - Goddard, Riewoldt

Bit harsh on Walker? He played quite well IMO despite missing some easy ones.

Sorry, I don't know why he is at 5.
Should clearly be at least six with the work he did up the ground.

 

[Slattery_20]

From Ess v Syd:
10 - Watson
9 - Howlett, Richards
8 - Jetta
7 - Kennedy, Jack
6 - Stanton, Hooker, Ryder
2 - Crameri

Jetta best on for mine, only one close was Watson; Ryder was very very good for us as well - far better than Stanton.
Crameri, urrgggh. No effect. Hooker wasn't that great IMHO, one of his worst weeks this year.

9 - Richards, Bartel
8 - Chapman, Jack
7 - Kennedy, Selwood, Jetta
