2016 AFLCA Player of the Year voting

[Vader]

Thought it might be helpful to keep track of this. It's the most objective method we have for insights into how the coaches are viewing the performances of our players. It's also a handy guide to how the B&F votes are likely to pan out in September/October.

[Vader]

Looking at those votes, it's fairly obvious that Sloane, Betts and Thompson are the top-3 players at the club. JJ is right behind them, but his votes have only come from 2 games - the others are polling far more regularly. Same can be said for Lynch. It's daylight back to 6th.

ADELAIDE v GEELONG

8 Steven Motlop (Geel)
4 Patrick Dangerfield (Geel)
4 Rory Sloane (Adel)
3 Harry Taylor (Geel)
1 Corey Enright (Geel)

ADELAIDE v GEELONG
10 Cam Guthrie (Geel)
8 Steven Motlop (Geel)
4 Patrick Dangerfield (Geel)
4 Rory Sloane (Adel)
3 Harry Taylor (Geel)
1 Corey Enright (Geel)

Fully deserved 10 for Guthrie, he was outstanding - absolutely killed us.

 

[Vader]

ADELAIDE v GEELONG
10 Cam Guthrie (Geel)
8 Steven Motlop (Geel)
4 Patrick Dangerfield (Geel)
4 Rory Sloane (Adel)
3 Harry Taylor (Geel)
1 Corey Enright (Geel)

Thanks. OP updated.

 

[Allefgib]

Oh tex... wherefore art thou?

 

[Vader]

Thought Cameron might have got into the votes as well. None of the other Adelaide players deserved to be there (other than Sloane, obviously).

 

[Vader]

ADELAIDE v GEELONG
10 Cam Guthrie (Geel)
8 Steven Motlop (Geel)
4 Patrick Dangerfield (Geel)
4 Rory Sloane (Adel)
3 Harry Taylor (Geel)
1 Corey Enright (Geel)

So, the most likely explanation for the votes is are...
Pyke
Guthrie 5
Motlop 4
Sloane 3
Dangerfield 2
Enright 1

Scott
Guthrie 5
Motlop 4
Taylor 3
Dangerfield 2
Sloane 1

 

[1970crow]

When a player gets 4 from one coach and 0 from the other I lose interest pretty quickly. I'm a b&f person, the rest of the voting awards aren't that meaningful in my view.

OP updated with the R9 votes. Tom Lynch jumping up to 3rd position, ahead of Scott Thompson.

You're taking the piss, right?

 

[Deaneus!]

Adelaide v Greater Western Sydney
9 Eddie Betts (Adel)
8 Taylor Walker (Adel)
4 Charlie Cameron (Adel)
4 Josh Kelly (GWS)
2 Rory Atkins (Adel)
2 Brodie Smith (Adel)
1 Daniel Talia (Adel)

Probable Voting -
Pyke
5 - Walker, 4 - Betts, 3 - Cameron, 2 - Atkins, 1 - Talia

Cameron
5 - Betts, 4 - Kelly, 3 - Walker, 2 - Smith, 1 - Cameron

You're taking the piss, right?

Well... what Oprah knows for sure, is that Talia's 1 must be one coach awarding him one vote. That means Smith's 2 and Atkins' 2 can only be the 2 votes from each coach since neither can be two single votes. That leaves a 1, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5. To get 9, Betts got a 5 and a 4. So now we're down to 1, 3, 3, 4, 5. That means Walker got his 8 with a 5 and 3, not two 4s, so now it's 1, 3, 4. The only part we can't deduce is how Cameron got his 4 - was it a 1 and 3, or a 4 by itself?

therefore, the only part of Smalex's post where he says "You're taking the piss, right?" must be that one of the two coaches gave Kelly a 4. I would agree, one of the coaches, probably Cameron, is taking the piss, given his side despite the final quarter comeback and only-22-point margin weren't really in the match (although AFL player ratings say it was Kelly's best ever game and he was 2nd best on ground).

 

[Vader]

OP updated. Lever & Matt Crouch get their first votes for the season.

 

[billy fragos]

Sloane up to 4th overall, he is also a fair chance for the Brownlow and in All Australian form.

 

[Dewy006]

Voting something like

Pyke:

Sloane 5
Jenkins 4
Crouch 3
Walker 2
Lever 1

Richo:

Crouch 5
Jenkins 4
Laird 3
Sloane 2
Smith 1

Sloane having a ripper season

 

[Redleg Crow]

Betting the Club Champion should almost be suspended. Sloane by a long way at the moment.

Sloane moves into second, to some spud.

The breakdown this week:

10 – Rory Sloane (Adelaide)
8 – Eddie Betts (Adelaide)
4 – Rory Laird (Adelaide)
3 – Tom Lynch (Adelaide)
3 – Matt Priddis (West Coast)
2 – Sam Jacobs (Adelaide)

Sloane: 10 = 5+5
Betts: 8 = 4+4
Laird: 4 = 3+1 or 2+2
Lynch: 3 = 2+1 or 3+0
Priddis: 3 = 3+0 or 2+1
Jacobs: 2 = 2 or 1 + 1

**Updated thanks to Elder van Berlo**

With Sloane and Betts getting the 5's and the 4's, the breakdown for the last 3 spots was either:

Option 1

3: Lynch
2: Laird
1: Jacobs

3: Priddis
2: Laird
1: Jacobs

Option 2

3: Laird
2: Jacobs
1: Lynch

3: Priddis
2: Lynch
1: Laird

Option 3

3: Laird
2: Jacobs
1: Priddis

3: Lynch
2: Priddis
1: Laird

 

[Elder van Berlo]

The breakdown this week:

10 – Rory Sloane (Adelaide)
8 – Eddie Betts (Adelaide)
4 – Rory Laird (Adelaide)
3 – Tom Lynch (Adelaide)
3 – Matt Priddis (West Coast)
2 – Sam Jacobs (Adelaide)

Sloane: 10 = 5+5
Betts: 8 = 4+4
Laird: 4 = 3+1
Lynch: 3 = 2+1 or 3+0
Priddis: 3 = 3+0 or 2+1
Jacobs: 2 = 2

Surely Pyke didn't give Priddis a vote? Assuming that's true, the votes would have looked like this:

Pyke

Sloane
Betts
Laird
Jacobs
Lynch

Simpson

Sloane
Betts
Priddis
Lynch
Laird

Could've been Laird: 2+2, Lynch and Priddis: 3+0, Jacobs: 1+1

 

[billy fragos]

Sloane is now in second place overall and only 1 vote behind you know who.

 

[displacedaussie]

Could've been Laird: 2+2, Lynch and Priddis: 3+0, Jacobs: 1+1

D'oh. Bad maths by me this afternoon. You are absolutely right.
