Who has been the most valuable player in 2018?

[DumbSmarts]

Gawn . He was the reason Melbourne beat us yesterday.funny bloke too

No way Melbourne would be where they are without Gawn.

If you took him out of their side they have nothing close to replacing him.

Bit like Nic Nat for us . He was reason why we won 10 straight

Cripps. I'd hate to think how Carlton would've went without him this year. Would've been one of the worst seasons in history if he wasn't there I reckon.

Whats worse than bottom of the ladder?

Consistent 100 point losses. They had a horrible year already but it would've been even worse if he weren't there. He has a big influence.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Jarryd Blair, him not playing has propelled us into a top 4 team.

 

[Mningasimisonda]

You can't be MVP from 15 games.

Still his influence is huge and those 15 games have set the Eagles to finish Top 4 and probably Top 2.

 

[Monkey King]

Well to be fair you could only be 2 games worse off

If using wins as the sole metric of better or worse you would be correct.

I think it’s a little more involved than that though.

 

[AG]

1. Mitchell
2. Grundy
3. Gawn
4. Cripps
5. Riewoldt

Right. Naitanui MVP in 2018.

 

[AG]

lol Naitanui? I think people are worrying about the definition of '"Most Valuable" too much. It's just another award for best player of the year.

 

[flyinghi64]

Gawn for me, Gives the Melb mids silver service and get's around the ground all game.

Had NicNat not got injured it would be tight between the two of them. Add Grundy and suddenly Rucks become pretty bloody important to their team.

 

[TiggyTig]

I'm gonna go Cripps because I can't even imagine how much worse off Carlton would have been this year without him

Literally just as bad

 

[MinerBoy]

Cripps.
Has carried Carlton all year.

Where to?

 

[omgfridge]

Gawn or Grundy. Both these teams would be significantly worse without them without anyone who could cover them at all. Both had absolute stellar seasons too.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Gawn's been handy but Melksham makes us a four to six goal better side IMO.

lol, I don't think anyone would ever have expected to post something like this about Melksham. But I've never minded him as a footballer and he's been very, very good this year. Maturing very nicely.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Gawn ... daylight.....everyone else.

I toss up between Gawn and Grundy and look at what injuries their respective teams have had through out the season. I think Grundy has needed to help out a lot more at times than Gawn so I went for Grundy.

 

[Captivating]

Jarryd Blair, him not playing has propelled us into a top 4 team.

Same could be said of

Elliot
Fasolo
Moore
Wells

all of them holding us back all these years!

 

[Fabab]

Gawn for me.
