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: 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
