The Bont has taken the lead in The Marmo but it is a crowded field as we look to get some consistent form both in games and across games.

The James is clearly a domination by Bontempelli, even though we are all expecting him to improve significantly on his early games.

Luke Dahlhaus has taken the lead in The Marmo with 2 successive top player scores, while The Bont sits second.

The James is clearly going to Bontempelli. Only in this round has there even been a semblance of challenge to his domination provided by McLean.

Marmo - Great performance from the Bont (95 of possible 100) from the consistent Jackson Macrae (55). The return from the twos for Caleb Daniel (39) was a strong effort for 3rd place from Jake Stringer (34). Luke Dahlhaus (19) also maintaining his consistency was just next, with Easton Wood (5), Toby McLean (2) and Robert Murphy (1) the others to attract votes.

James - A clear win for Bont (45 of possible 48) over Daniel (25) with (Toby McLean (2) the only other pup to score a vote.

Jack Macrae with his consistency takes the lead in The Marmo, while Bontempelli joins Dahlhaus in second position. Those 3 have established a gap from the field behind.

The James sees Bont consolidate his clear lead amongst the pups.

[soupman]

Remarkably it shows how poor Bonts form has been of late. He has picked up just 5 votes (as in from individual posters) in the past 5 games.

Note that there were several instances where the James votes conflicted with the Marmo. Whenever that occurs, I adjust the James voting so that they follow those awarded in the Marmo.

Marmo
Macrae retains the lead but Bontempelli is closing in. Caleb Daniel moves to a clear 3rd position.


James
Bontempelli extends his lead, while McLean moves to equal 3rd.

While the season has been a little disappointing to date the collation of the voting highlights that we are still a young team and largely carried by those younger players.

[1eyedog]

Caleb Daniel what a star.

[Daughter of the West]

Caleb Daniel what a star.

Just not a rising one...

[hujsh]

Interesting that many don't have Daniel as an improved player with IIRC some saying he's been disappointing but his votes in the Marmo and James indicate he's been quite an improver this year

[boydogs]

I think what it is with people saying no-one's improving is we became used to having a really young side and having half the team step up each year. Now we're maturing, it's only the 2014 and younger guys stepping up

[LostDoggy]

Great to note that our top 5 players this year to date, according to the woof awards, are 22, 21, 21, 24 and 20.
