2003 BF Crows Awards Tally

[marvin]

Tyson Edwards has also failed to trouble the BTM scorers this year. If anything, his football is most McLeod-esque, meeting all the criteria that napsyd listed, but tending like McLeod to do his best work outside packs.

Personally, I give BTM votes based on a number of different criteria - effort; a brilliant defensive game (e.g. Smart on Lloyd); one percenters; standing up to be counted at a crucial time - that probably tend to reward those who've sacrificed their own game for the benefit of the team - defenders, ruckmen or big forwards who create space for the runners. Macca probably plays his best when others are sacrificing on his behalf and he's ripping a team to shreds.

For the record, the votes accumulated over the last 2 seasons for BTM:

(2003,2002)
40 Stenglein (13,27)
39 Bickley (13,26)
22 Smart (6,16)
18 Stevens (3,15)
17 Hart (2,15)
16 Ricciuto (9,7)
15 Carey (15,0)
15 Torney (15,0)
14 Biglands (7,7)
13 Shirley (13,0)
13 Bassett (5,8)
12 Massie (7,5)
9 Perrie (9,0)
8 Edwards (0,8)
7 McGregor (4,3)
7 Welsh (1,6)
6 Clarke (3,3)
5 Johncôck (3,2)
5 Goodwin (0,5)
4 Crowell (0,4)
3 Johnson (0,3)
2 Begley (2,0)

Top 10: tagger, defensive midfielder, defender, big forward, defender, inside midfielder, big forward, defender/tagger, ruckman, tagger.

After Round 22 v Port at AAMI

Another gut-wrenching loss to the Power & more crap to put up with at work this week from those with the bragging rights. Crows have been teasing us with many of their performances, but the end of the day a 13-9 record is not good enough for the double chance.

Roo has stitched up the BOG honours, even if we made the GF. Has had a great captain year - time for some of the other leaders to support him! Carey takes back the lead for the hotly contested BTM honours.

After Week 1 of the finals v West Coast at AAMI

Great to see the players turn around their poor form & put in a decent 4 quarter effort for the first time in a while. Now for Brisbane as we hopefully continue our finals charge.

Roo still has his unbeatable BOG lead, but Edwards has overtaken Macca in the battle for minor placings. The Duck continues to hold his narrow BTM lead over JT. Meanwhile it was good to see Reilly get some rookie votes.

After week 2 of finals v Brisbane at the Gabba

Well unfortunately the voting is all over & the final reulsts are in, given our exit from the finals.

Roo with 6 BOG effort easily won this year from Edwards, Macca & Birdman.

The Duck with all his goal assists won the BTM award, from the last game charging Bicks & JT.

Not sure whether anyone deserves the rookie award given we abstained so much of the time. With Reilly the leading player on 3 votes, it was a poor year for the rookies.

On reflection I think McLeod polled too many votes in the B and F and Carey got too many easy votes in the top team man award.

Torney or Shirley would be my pick for that award on the night.

Reilly got most votes so he gets the award.

Congrats to Roo - a v good year.

McGregor probably deserved more B and F votes too.

You're forgetting that when McLeod plays well, he plays very well. He'll probably still be 2nd or 3rd for us in the Brownlow.

Torney or Shirley would be my pick for that award on the night.

How is the BTM done? If it's done game by game I don't see Shirley - who only came in midway through the season - being much chance.

Jars, Macca played very well early in the season, but that is a distant memory now. He had 22 of his 34 votes by round 9 (aprox 2.5 per game), then only got about 1 vote per game for the rest of the season. He only polled votes in a 8 (ie. a 3rd) of our games (with 3x BOG, 2x 2nds), which is not good enough for 1 of our top ranked players.

Compare this to Roo who far more consistent polling votes in 14 of our games (with 6x BOG, 4x 2nds). Also, Edwards polled in more games than Macca.

As Dave said, unfortunately Shirley only started mid-season. He didn't poll a vote until round 14 & polled 13 votes in the remaining 10 games. Certainly polled the most per game. ie. Gave Carey a 10 vote head start!

Definitely gave us the most quality footy from a rookie for the minutes he got.

Agree, but goes un-noticed as he does his job week in week out with a minimum of fuss. Should have been much higher up for BTM IMO.
