Thanks very much scaryness for tallying the votes. I think that looks great. AG if you're still around wanna whip up a 2014 graphic for the leaderboard (only if you have time)?

This way is easier to read, well done

 

[SouthSwans]

Have we got a record of the winners from previous years? Should get that up here somewhere.

 

[scaryness]

I found the previous winners in one of AG's threads

2013 looks to be lost though

EDIT: Scrolled through the boards and added up all the scores and Kieren Jack won last year. The things I do when bored

 

[SouthSwans]

Love it mate, nicely done

 

[SM]

Ha, yeah remember the period where Goodes dominated this so much it wasn't funny, yet didn't get a look in at the Swans B&F...

 

[S120]

Kennedy has polled in all 8 matches so far and is top 2 or 3 in most of the paper votings. Beast.

 

[jwesno1]

Kennedy MVP

 

[Dangas]

Hanners creeping up, good on Benny for being up there

 

[scaryness]

I think its now Kennedy's to lose.

McGlynn, Parker and Hanners are close but I can't see Kennedy losing, barring the unthinkable.

 

[S120]

Kieren and Bud are the only guys capable of catching Kennedy I think. They're the 2 best players on the list outside JPK, are close enough and in good enough form right now.

But yeh, it'd take something bizarre for Kennedy to lose it from here; and I think he'll have a decent lead in the Skilton right now too.

 

[RW]

SouthSwans thanks for creating the header in the OP

 

[scaryness]

Just thinking - should I post the complete vote tally in this thread each week as well?

Not in the OP but just down here.

Because some people might find it interesting to see how every other player got votes, but the complete tally gets buried in the Swans board.

Josh Kennedy is almost un-catchable now. 21 points up with six games to go.

 

[S120]

Finals count too but the point stands. Kennedy could probably take the rest of H&A season off and still lead it heading into the finals.

 

[MF]

The leaderboard shows what an even contribution we've had this year with so many players (22) getting votes.

We've also got the criteria for YPOTY spot on too I reckon. It would have been pretty boring if Parker and Reid were still eligible.

 

[scaryness]

Round 18:
Franklin moves into 2nd, with McGlynn moving up to be equal 3rd. Rohan and Goodes get their first votes for the year.

 

[scaryness]

Round 19:
Kennedy notches his 50th vote for the season while McGlynn and Parker both leapfrog the injured Buddy Franklin for 2nd and 3rd respectively.

 

[scaryness]

Round 20:
McGlynn making a charge for top spot with his 3rd BOG in a row. Kennedy still managing to stretch his lead though.

 

[scaryness]

Kennedy's lead is closing quickly as Parker continues to dominate. At the end of the H&A Kennedy only leads by 6 votes.

 

[scaryness]

Parker's BOG performance now closes the gap between Kennedy and Parker to a single vote.

 

[scaryness]

Fun Fact:
The only player that has played 10 or more games this year and hasn't polled a vote is Tom Derickx
