2013 Doig

[Dudley Leopard]

Should be interesting this year. IMO it should be between 4 : Crowley, Johnson, Fyfe and Barlow.

Personally I would like to see MJ get it. Been super consistent all year.

 

[Pavs_Risotto]

Mayne - dark horse

 

[Righteo]

Between Crowley, Mayne, Johnson and Fyfe. Mzungu and Spurr dark horses to finish in the top 5.

I personally think Crowley is almost a cert to go back to back, has been even better this year.

 

[Seppo]

Johnson has played every game and hasnt had too many bad performances.
Crowley has a good chance to retain it, we know the coaches give him top votes based on last year.

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Crowly is the man but I might look at Barlow to get his 1st.

 

[clogged]

Fyfe.

 

[Grape Bear]

Mayne is more than a smokey, has played every game this year and his effort is second to none every time. Crowls is a definite possible to go back to back. Fyfe has had blockbuster games but has missed a couple, and he has had a stinker on the odd occasion (by his standards). MJ has been stellar as well, really stood up and kept the backline together in the absence of the Big Mac.

Fyfe in a canter

 

[Latro]

Fyfe has missed too many games under the current voting system to win.

 

[Split Personality]

Dawson Has seriously stood up.

Must be between Mayne, Johnno and Crowley IMO. Spurr should poll well, watching the GC game I didn't miss Broughton a bit.

 

[JunglistPosse]

Fish Pub

 

[stormee]

Mayne

 

[Ripper]

Toss up between M.J. and Mayney I reckon.

 

[electricfeel]

My top 5 for the Doig: Fyfe, Mayne, Johnson, Crowley, Mundy

No idea who will win though.

 

[clivenator26]

Mayne, MJ, Fyfe, Crowley, Barlow

Luke to be leading until rd 12, expect a late charge from Zac Clarke and Zac D to be in the top 10.

Anyone going? $250 a ticket.

 

[Quokka]

Would be great to see MJ win it. Mundy should also finish somewhere near the top, hasn't missed a game and been very good all year.

 

[gaskin]

I think it will be a close run race between Mayne and Johnson with Chopper taking it at the end.

 

[PapaJ]

The way the Doig is voted (which I think is the best system) rewards consistency over the occasional sensational game and doesn't use a system were points can be 'taken away' from each other (like most voting systems including the Browlow, which is one of the worst BTW).

With that in mind, MJ has to be right up there, Crowley and Mayne next in line. Fyfe will obviously do well, but missed a couple and has been 'average' in recent weeks so might not crack top spot.

 

[Bender571]

Crowley, reckon he's almost a game up on everyone else with the Geelong game. He should get around 12-16 votes for that game with everyone else getting 0-4 IMO

 

[Schauermann]

Can somebody explain the voting system?

http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl...dal/story-e6frf3e3-1226490530657#.Uhp1oz95gyU

"Four members of the Fremantle coaching staff, including Lyon, assigned every player votes on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis at the end of each game."

This is probably crap with the winner only averaging 1,66 votes/game from each coach. My guess only the best five players get votes...

PS Ok, read it gain, my guess is probably right:

"Pavlich tied with Johnson, but lost on a countback after the defender polled in more games throughout the year."

 

[Kickett Punches Read]

1 (winner)- Crowley
2- Johnson
3- fyfe
3- barlow

8- Walters
9- hill
10- spurr


Best clubman- suban

Beacon award- neale with Sheridan a close runner up ( not sure how this award works, weather second and third year players are eligible)

 

[free at last]

Fyfe-Barlow-jonno

My guess only the best five players get votes...

Nah, votes go to whoever did their role. Rd 1 last year 20 players got votes, but in Rd 8 against the hawks only 4 got votes.

 

[freodog]

After Crowley won it last year I think it's obvious what values Ross rewards.

Mayne to win as he always gives great effort & total commitment. He's had a fantastic year carrying the load without Pav & should be rewarded.

 

[Wizard]

I would say Barlow has absolutely no chance, i'd be surprised if he finishes top 5.

Its between Mundy, MJ, Mayne, Crowley and Fyfe.
