You wouldn't remember much about Round 1 at the end of August.
Any fiddling would have to take place post season and not involve the coaches at all.
Kennedy and Newman polled well in our Jim Park
Kennedy played only 13 games
Newman played 14 games
The way the CSC (Jim Park) award is structured it depends a lot on numbers voting each week and a the ability for there to be a wide variance in vote allocation.
A big number one week for a player who impressed in a week where a lot of folks voted would be possible.
A tighter voting system would apply in the CFC Best and Fairest and number of games played would be a more significant factor.
The senior coach and three assistants cast votes after each game. Each coach can award from one to four votes to every player they feel has performed at the expected level or above. After a good win, votes could be awarded to most of the team while few players would receive votes after an effort like round 22. That's a little like the Jim Park Award but the maximum of four votes would minimise the reward for an outstanding performance. It also means that every player's performance is assessed rather than just focusing on the players in the spotlight for better or more showy play.
Plowman got 86 votes from19 games meaning that he averaged just over one vote from each coach. If he's routinely assessed as playing trademark games and gets a couple of above expectations and an outstanding (say Rounds 1 or 3), 86 points is done and dusted.
Check out how well he played against Richmond in Round 1:

And that's pretty well his benchmark.
