Should be done on average, but don't think anyone really values the medal unless it compliments a premiership one

Interesting vote spread.  Obviously Gawn hit the two 5's, then Salem and Tracc went 4/2 and 3/3 one way or the other, Oliver got 4/0, Viney 2/1 and Pickett 1.

 

Pointless medal. If it’s not done on averages, then anyone who plays less matches is disadvantaged.

Norm Smith is the only finals medal that counts. Reckon Trac is gonna win that!

Dogs play an extra game so how can an MFC player possibly win it?

Just win the Norm Smith Clarrie - that's all that matters!

totals should be divided by games played.......with a minimum 2 or 3 games

Given this award could be won by a player who doesn't win a Premiership Medal, it would have been better to call it the Gary Ablett Sr medal. Probably the best finals player never to have won a Premiership I've seen.

Haha. I’ve seen some mathematically questionable awards before (I’m looking at you, Demonland Player of the Year!), but that takes some beating.

Ahh, a premiership medal is much more valuable than a Norm Smith one.

Doggies can have it, provided we win the ones that matter.

Hell, the Bont can have the Brownlow and the Norm Smith provided Gawn and co get the other 23.

Yep.  Happy for the Bont to join the prestigious club of Norm Smith medalists from the losing team.  👍

Clearly compromised award.  Here are some alternatives that keep the award a coach voted system..

Option 1 - Only use votes from the PF and GF's.  If there's a tie, whoever receives more votes in the GF takes the award.

Option 2 - Use votes from SF, PF and GF.  Players from teams that don't play in the SF's score double in the PF.  Break tie the same way.

Week one of finals involves 2 games involving the top 4 teams, 2 games involving teams 5-8.  Obvious difference in quality so easiest way is to discount that whole week.  Alternative is to apply multipliers to the games.  QF votes are worth more than votes from EF's  (maybe only a 4,3,2,1 vote system for EF's?)

Clearly the award should go to aplayer that plays in the GF.  Another reason to exclude FW1 game as with the fewer games contributing to scoring, you pretty much have to play in the GF to win it.

 

 

 

I didn't know this award even existed.

If you asked me previously, I would have guessed that it was awarded to the player with the most spectacular mullet in the AFL.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
