What he said.
My highest rated Johnson this year is the Michael variety.
Surely you don't mean him.

 

[Sidebottom2Beams]

Possible Beams and Kennedy both gets 10's tonight they were both huge and a mile better than anyone else?

From Syd v Coll:
10 - Beams
9 - Kennedy
7 - Jack, O'Keefe, Pendlebury
6 - McVeigh, Sidebottom, Jolly, Richards (or am I judging him too harshly?)
5 - Jetta

 

[eaglespremiers]

From Carl v Bris:
9 - Gibbs
8 - Redden
6 - Hanley
5 - Betts
4 - Rockliff

 

[Pie in the Sky]

Would give Jolly more than six, had great impact on the game with his tap work. Beams and Kennedy were both outstanding, nearly both deserve a ten.

 

[robertg22]

Beams absolutely ahead of Selwood on this year so far. Also ahead of Swan if that is in question. Will win the Copeland.

From Rich v WB:
10 - Cotchin
8 - Deledio, Martin
7 - Boyd
6 - Lake
5 - Tuck, Maric

How did Rance play?
Saw he got Skinner, is that right?

 

[eaglespremiers]

So Beams will not be jumping Cotchin this week.

Tom Campbell first half, then Skinner when Campbell was subbed. He was then moved to Lake after he ravaged Post. Skinner got his goals on Post/Griffiths. Lake was poor when Rance moved onto him.

I'd give him an 8-9.

8 or 9 turn it up, if he got an 8 or 9 for that game than Cotchin needs a 15, Deledio and Martin were clearly better and they got 8, 6 would be appropriate, 7 at best.

He played a flawless defensive game, he destroyed his opponents when he played on them. Not only that, he provided great offence too. He had 20 possessions at 90% D/E and took 8 marks. Possibly an 8, 9 might be pushing it a little considering who he played on.

 

[robertg22]

You have to take the quality of opposition into account, pretty harsh on Beams to get the same score as Cotchin for the week when Beams did it against the #1 ranked side in the comp... as opposed to Cotchin running around with a first gamer Lin Jong in parts of the game. Rance definitely not a 8 or 9 from what I saw (watched about half of the game)

But that's how he's been doing it all season I think. If we're going by that logic, then he has to go back through all the games and scale the votes according to who they play. You can only play your opposition, ie. why should Cotchin drop just because he played a lesser team, he was still a clear BOG. Also it works both ways, all players get to play against strong and weak teams, Beams (and every other top player in fact) has probably scored a few 10s off lower ranked sides.

EDIT: Agree with Rance not being an 8 or 9. I'd give him a 7.

In regards to Cotchin v Beams, well their games on the weekend were almost identical.
Obviously all things being equal Beams played against the more impressive opposition.
Some people say that Ablett should be judged higher because he plays for said poor team.
However, I feel that it balances itself out. If a kid is sent to Cotchin then that is not Cotchin's fault.
Every team plays every other team at least once. So, theoretically, everyone has the opportunity to score well against the cellar dwellers.
Yet not all players do. Some take the easy games half-heartedly.
Credit to Cotchin for being damaging when not given enough respect.

I watched the last quarter and a half and would give Watson no more than a 6, but I understand he was very good in the first half.
