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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward. Date of Birth: 16 April 2003 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 41 Goals MFC 2024: 30 Career Total: 58 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
