3: Laloifi
2: Prespakis
1: McKay

I understand and sympathise the reason behind for having 3,2 & 1. But I think last nights game was a good example of when you need more votes to hand out, because there weren't really three stand outs and half a dozen players probably deserve some recognition.

At the end of the year i do 2 tables.

1. A tally of each weeks BOGs
- Player who got the most votes for that week overall gets 3, 2nd most 2, 3rd most 1.

2. A tally of every vote as a % from each week.
- If a player gets 3 votes from everyone, they get 3.0.
- If a player gets  1 vote from 1 person that week, and there were 10 people who voted, they will get 0.1 votes for the week.
- At the end of the year, every player who received a single vote at all, will be included in the tally.

The second method 'rewards' people who are 'thereabouts' more often than not but not everyone puts them in the top 3.


EDIT: An example of method 2 is this.
Jess Hosking was collectively deemed a 1 vote getter in week 2 last year.
Nic Stevens was collectively deemed a 1 vote getter in week 4 last year (and received votes in R5, but not top 3 for the week)
Charlotte Wilson never made the top 3 for any given week, but was given votes in 3 separate games. She outpolled both Jess and Nic under method 2.

I only saw the second half but I'll vote anyway:

3 - Prespakis
2 - Moody
1 - Brazzale

And apologies to the 5 or 6 others who could have got votes, and particularly Abbie McKay.

Having INternet problems, alas.
3 Maddie Prespakis  She may have been down on her best, but her ability to get first hands on the ball was excellent.
2 Mua Laloifi: Her kicking is a bit dodgy, but her attack on the ball was excellent. Her opponents struggled to make an impact.
1 Mimi Hill: Made a strong impression.

Honourable Mentions:
Bree Moody: easily the best ruck on the ground.
Abby McKay: needs more of it, but her improvement was significant and her ability to get the ball was useful.
Charlotte Wilson: great marking in defence, but her kicking needs work.

Charlotte Wilson: great marking in defence, but her kicking needs work.

I was impressed with Wilson's improvement over last season, she no longer looked timid and happily took on the front position in the marking contests.
