The Player of the week gets announced after all Bark
Members give their 3-2-1 on the discussion board. The winner
gets announced on the Wednesday after every game.
The Winner this week is:
Robbie Haddrill! Haddrill did an excellent job on this years
Coleman Medallist Fraser Gehrig, keeping him to four goals,
1 of which he got from a shocking umpiring decision, and
another from a shocking lack of an umpiring decision after a
Gehrig indiscretion. Haddrill has fought valiantly all
season and it is not fault of his and his backline that
Fremantle face an overly long summer.
Last Week:
Credit where credit is due, Shaunny Mac, the old warhorse,
showed once again that he bleeds purple putting in 200%
against a team he clearly hates to lose to. In a team
performance lacking spirit, McManus lit the way for the
young blokes. He's had his fair share of critics, but he
would be well worth putting on the Veterans list to see out
a few more years for the club he loves so much. Well done Macca, a "Vintage" performance once again.
Previous winners:
Round 22: Peter Bell! Again
with the heat applied only the pros could stand the
pressure. Our little marvel of a captain did all he could
but it wasn't enough.
Round 21: Paul Haselby! The
barometer for our team, when he plays a ballburster, I can't
remember us losing. This guy has real pride in his
performance and seems to be sorting though the injury which
has hampered him all year.
Round 20: Matthew Pavlich!
In a disgraceful performance which showed when the heat gets
applied we can't perform, Pav was a beacon of hope. He kept
us in it, which the commentators were desperately grateful
for to keep people switched on to the television.
Round 19: Paul Haselby! The
barometer for our team, when he plays a ballburster, I can't
remember us losing. This guy has real pride in his
performance and seems to be sorting though the injury which
has hampered him all year.
Round 18: Josh Carr/Matthew
Pavlich! If Pav didn't get a sore bum half way through he
might have won this outright. But the clutch goals from the
Datsun's brother ensured that this award is shared this
week.
Round 17: Paul Hasleby! This
game was made for Haze - wet drizzly, both teams desparate
making for a torrid scrap. Haze delivered his best 2005
performance so far. Hopefully he is getting over that hernia
problem which has restricted him.
Round 16: Matthew Pavlich!
In an absolute purple patch right now (even though for this
game he was wearing the white geurnsey. Anothe big bag from
CHF wins it again for the big fella and he is certainly
doing all he can to get us back into the finals race.
Round 15: Matthew Pavlich!
Backed up the dominance against the Crows with another
excellent display.
Round 14: Matthew Pavlich!
Eight goals from CHF was a power performance that only the
truly elite few can achieve in this competition. This game
put him on the superstar map in my opinion.
Round 13: Jeff Farmer! The only player who even gets
close to a positive mention for that deplorable performance
which was round 13 versus the Roos. An absolute disgrace.
Round 12: Troy Cook!
Against his old side, Cooky went toe to toe with Paul
Williams and held his own. His commitment to the contest is
just superb, and he just puts his head down and plays footy.
I love the way Cook plays and he thoroughly deserves the
votes this week.
Round 11: Jeff Farmer!
Another game hard to pick out three worthy winners but
Farmer gave it his all and really tried to create in the
forward line. If only he had a few more mates...
Round 10: Jeff Farmer! This
bloke is fair dinkum having his best season as a Docker,
bagging four important goals in difficult conditions and his
defensive efforts were team lifting. A massive impact in an
important game. Well done Jeff.
Round 9: Jeff Farmer! In a
game where the team lacked spirit, the fiery Farmer stood
out like dogs balls. One of the few that looked like he
wanted to fight for the victory, and the rest were trotting
out thinking what they were oign to spend their next pay
check on. Tell your teammates to wake up Jeff!!
Round 8: Matthew Pavlich!
Marking everything in sight, the big Pav did his best to get
the Dockers over the line. It wasn't enough but already
people are talking him up as a brownlow fancy. I'll require
a bit more form but as it stands he may well be up there at
this point in the season. Well done Matthew.
Round 7: Matthew Pavlich!
Dominant at Centre Half Forward, and with a midfield winning
the ball at will, the Dockers gave Pav every chance to get
the three votes. Pav didn't disappoint with 6 of the best
and creativity to throughout. The good Carr with 39 must
think he's pretty stiff though...
Round 6: Matthew Pavlich!
Farmer must be spewing but Pav gave us the direction and
Wizard provided the magic. Direction beat magic by a whisker
but Pavlich's dominant CHF display couldn't be ignored, and
although he only kicked 1 goal, his marking display meant
the other forwards got plenty of supply.
Round 5: Matthew Pavlich -
Possibly stung by criticism the week before, the big Pav put
in a sterling performance to rocket him to the top of the
charts in the AFL marking. He kicked two goals and provided
plenty of drive which helped the likes of Medhurst, Farmer
and Ryan Murphy. He needs to kick a little straighter but if
he plays like that every week we might just shake a few
teams in September yet (provided we make it!).
Round 4: Heath Black - in a
game where no one deserves votes we'll just give it the
bloke who got the most touches. Well done Heath Black. The
less said about the game the better.
Round 3: Josh Carr - in a
tough game against the dirty cross town rivals, it was the
toughest who rose to the top. When the rest of the team were
blown away, Josh played like he didn't realise he was no
longer playing for a premiership team and nearly single
handedly got us over the line. "What? I play for those loser
Dockers do I? So that explains the purple jumper, I thought
it was a marketing gimmick" said a slightly over-tired
Ferrari. "At least that means I can finally win the Balding
Speedster Trophy, I always wanted that" Josh said brightly.
Round 2: Justin Longmuir -
From brothers united to a brother bereaved, Justin dominated
the game right around the ground stopping coutnless forward
thrusts to be the stand out for the game. "The only thing I
can think of to make up for the pain of losing Troy to
Carlton is to win the Balding Speedster Trophy" he told
reporters after the match.
Round 1: Josh Carr/Matt Carr - In the first game for the
year, it seemed fitting that the brothers in arms Carr got
top votes equally for the stirring win against the Ferrari's
old side. The 1979 Datsun joined the party also and so both
brothers have made early claims to steal Haselby's crown as
the Balding Speedster Trophy holder. Josh is apparently
upset at his brothers good form. "I want the trophy" he said
post match. "My big brother is always stealing things that
are rightfully mine!" |
