2018 Jim Park Medal Analysis

[kruddler]

Split 15 votes in half and you could have a maximum of 30 half votes. There are only 22 players on the team, that (in my humble opinion) is simply ridiculous.

It's a competition, only 1 person will win in the end (although it is interesting and entertaining to see who places in the top 10), not every player needs or deserves a participation ribbon for every game played. 

Across all voters any players that deserves a vote will normally get a mention.

What would you do under this scenario.

Casboult kicks 12 goals.
Murphy and Cripps both have 30 touches and kick 2 goals.
Nobody else really stands out.

10 Casboult
2.5 Murphy
2.5 Cripps

You could argue
9 Casboult
3 Murphy
3 Cripps

...but Casboult had a 'perfect' game, so why rob him of a vote? It'd be unfair to split Cripps and Murphy as their output is identical.


Of course there is a million permutations that could go on, this is just a simplistic example to prove a point.
