Demonland Player of the Year - Round 7

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,941]

I'm genuinely surprised to see Petracca get votes. I had no difficulty identifying the top 4 in my votes but struggled with the last two, but at no time did I think Petracca's game was vote-worthy. In fact, I wondered after the game whether he might be close to a demotion to Casey. Amazed how we can see things so differently.

I thought he was great. He had a direct assist for our first goal and brought the ball down in Hunt's direction against two opponents to score our second. There was another assist that should have been a goal and a number of times where he either won the ball or crashed in and allowed others to do so. He's not getting huge disposal numbers and his set shot was horrible, but he had a big impact.

I didn't see this game..  I listened to it.

But I am concerned about how some of our players perceive of how they are going.  and how we judge them...  effecting their own perceptions of themselves.   Some players are too hard on themselves,  and some, maybe not hard enough,  in some ways
