This is a competition for BF posters to a) vote for the real Devils B&F as judged by us throughout 2026, and b) the tipster who gets closest to tipping the winner-R/up-3rd at season's end gets a prize. This is my first action of this type, so there might be a couple of things that could be fine tuned - feel free to make suggestions. I'll find out what the prize can be soon!
Rules (anything marked with (***) can be group consensus discussion, and we'll settle it all before Round 4):
1) Each poster nominates 3-2-1 for each game, Devils players only.
2) By the start of Game 4 (Round 5 Anzac Day v Carlton), each poster has given their tip for who they think will finish 3-2-1 (time to get latecomers, plus we've already seen one match). That is your entry to be eligible for the prize. Anyone later is welcome to vote at any time (***), but the eligible winners need to have nominated their Season champion and placegetters before Round 4.
3) The winner of the comp is the poster who is closest to tipping the 3-2-1 in finishing order...exact methodology for that still buzzing in my head (***).
4) The number of votes each week is added, and for each player the total score is divided by the number of people who tipped that round (an average). So if a player gets 12 votes spread across 8 tipsters, the score for that player that week is 1.5.
5) However, it's 3-2-1 each week - so if the top 5 players got in order 2.86, 2.5, 2.1, 1.8 and 1.5, those first 3 players are the 3-2-1, and that's the votes as entered for the comp, just like the Brownlow - the guy who got 2.86 gets 3 votes, the 2.5 guy gets 2 votes, etc...
6) Brownlow rules as far as countback etc goes....most 3 vote games. We can have joint winners as a result - if you can tip that you deserve the trophy straight away!
6a) Do you want tiebreakers added (***)?
6b) Do you want suspended players ineligible...? (***)
7) To get 3-2-1 each week, if two players got the same average, the tiebreaker could be the AFL fantasy score as published on the AFL site? (***). e.g. Player 1 gets 2.86, P2 gets 2.5, P3 gets 1.86 and P4 gets 1.86 as well...P3 got 85 points on Dream Team and P4 got 84, so P3 gets the 1 vote.
Each week's votes due before the next match, but to get things sorted properly, Round 1 and Round 2 are due before the start of the Round 3 Frankston game. After that, each round of votes is due before the next match (you get a couple of weeks to contemplate when there's a bye!). Post on the thread.
Ok, me first:
Round 1 v Coburg:
J.Hagan – 3
Z.Adams – 2
M.Roney – 1
