Yes, some folk will never give Gibbs a vote and some folk will give votes to their favourite players no matter how poorly they play. Watching the game on TV shows some players in a better light too. People have different voting systems too - I always have five players but some like to spread their votes around. In a shellacking like we suffered, voting for lots of players will inevitably mean that players who had little impact, C Curnow, Casboult, etc, will get votes.
It's what happens in a 'free market' voting system but it doesn't mean that the final tally isn't a good measure of our best players.
