How is Jetta not getting any mention here? For mine, there were only three players who put in the required effort all day: Kennedy, Jetta and Garlett. Garlett didn't get much of it but at least tried to get involved. Kent and Harmes, for example, didn't even look like they wanted to get a disposal.

So I'd have:

6 - Kennedy

5 - Jetta

4 - Garlett

3 - N Jones

2 - Tyson

1 - Vince

N Jones, Tyson and Vince don't actually deserve praise but they're the three least-bad players of the remaining 19.

Surely this is a case of different standards for different players.

Vince had 28 disposals at 78%, 7 marks, 4 tackles. Jones had 29 disposals, 8 clearances and 7 inside 50s. Neither were polished but they busted a gut.

Of Jetta's 12 disposal game I mostly remember the needless arm across the shoulder when the ball was going through for a point which cost a goal.

Temper the love. He didn't have a standout day.

A surprise leader after round 2

 

29 Ben Kennedy

21 Nathan Jones

19 Jack Viney

14 Bernie Vince

10 Jack Watts

9 Jeff Garlett Tom McDonald

6 Clayton Oliver Dom Tyson

3 Matt Jones

2 Max Gawn

This may be a stupid question, but how does the scoring work? I see Kennedy has 29, yet he received way more than 29 votes in this thread alone.

May as well give it to him now, don't see anyone else putting in an effort like he does.

Certainly one positive after the loss is the continuous rise of Ben Ken. He has pace, good skills, kicks goals and can seriously play. Has a bit of mongrel about him as well. Awesome recruit so far.

I think he takes a random sampling of the posts each week.  This would give a balance of fairness and not requiring too much maths and effort to make work.  It would probably be better to average the scores across all votes posted, but that's going to wind up being a massive pain to do every week.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.
