As many would know, I’ve organised the voting for the last few seasons. Unless told otherwise, I figured I’d continue it. As usual I like to post the method and rules a couple of weeks out and open things up for any opinions or discussions.
Though I have visions of more comprehensive system that is still simple to do, I can never come up with anything that will work in the forum format. So, unless I hear enough murmurings among the masses, it will be the same as it has been in recent years. The regular voting rules go like this:
General Voting
BF posters post their votes for players after the game. Posters can vote within the following boundaries:
No more than 15 votes can be given by any one poster, typically allocated 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - but any other combination is allowed including votes totalling less than 15.
‘Best Young Bloke’
If we use last year's rules, it goes like this:
A 'young player' for voting purposes will be any player who is either a.) 21 years or less at the start of 2016 AND has played less than 10 AFL games or b.) is 25 years or less at the start of the 2016 and has yet to play an AFL game.
By that criteria, the following players would qualify as YBs. List is by DOB and Rookie Listed (R) is indicated.
Tucker, Darcy
Balic, Harley
Nyhuis, Ryan (R)
Deluca-Cardillo, Josh (R)
Blakely, Connor
Weller, Lachie
Langdon, Ed
Grey, Brady
Apeness, Michael
Uebergang, Matthew (R)
Hughes, Ethan
Collins, Samuel
Smith, Tanner (R)
Hurley, Sean (R)
If any of the above players gets a game, and you think their game was worth it, then nominate them for a vote.
A 'Young Bloke' will also get a nomination if they are listed in the 'regular votes' but not mentioned specifically as a BYB.
So that's it. Any comments, suggestions, corrections etc. welcomed.

- No player can get more than 5 votes in a single game
- Fractions aren't allowed and are rounded up as long as the above rules aren't broken, in which case they are ignored
- Anybody who lists ambiguous votes such as "1 vote for player x/player y/player z" have their votes included in that order as long as the above rules aren't broken
- Any blatant donkey votes are ignored (eg. votes for opposition players), but legitimate votes amongst them are included as long as the above rules aren't broken
- Other than that, I just use the educated guess technique
