2018 AFLTM Awards

[fightingfury_88]

I'll post each award as I get to them.
The awards to be handed out for this season are:

• AFLTM Rising Star
• AFLTM All Australian Team
• AFLTM League Best and Fairest

The rising star award will be a single post, listing all players nominated for the season before counting down the top 5 in the award. The All Australian team will be released line by line, starting with the full backline. The coach of the year will also be announced as part of this. The League Best and Fairest will be released with round by round voting and a final tally.

Good luck to all coaches, I hope one of your players can win an award!

2018 AFL TM Rising Star Award
This award is given to the player who is deemed to be one of the best up and coming stars in the competition. To be eligible for this award the player must be 21 years or younger as of the start of the year and had played 10 or fewer AFL games at the beginning of the season.

Each week of the AFLTM home and away season, the player who fits the above criteria and has scored the most points for the week is nominated for the Rising Star award if they have not been nominated for the award previously in the season. In the event of a tie, both players are nominated. The Rising Star is awarded to the player who has been nominated for the award during the season and has the most total points for the full AFL year. In the event of two players having the same total points, the higher position will be awarded to the player who has the highest average. If players are still tied then the player who belongs to the team who finished higher on the ladder will be awarded the higher position. Further tie breakers are decided on total goals, disposals, hitouts, marks and then tackles in that order.

2018 AFL TM All Australian Team
All Australian selection is awarded to players who are deemed to be the best in their position for the season. The team consists of 6 defenders, 6 midfielders, 1 ruck and 6 forwards, with 2 key forwards and 2 key defenders to be selected as part of this starting team. One additional player each from the backline, midfield, ruck and forward line will also be selected on the interchange, meaning a total of 22 players will be selected in the All Australian team.

Selection in this team is based on the number of times a player has been named in the AFLTM Team of the Week in position (ie. Back, Midfield, Ruck, Forward). Players are only eligible to be selected in positions on the field (ie Back, Midfield, Ruck, Forward) that they are able to be selected in the AFL Fantasy competition (once positional changes have been finalised).

In the case of a tie in the number of nominations between players in the same position, and only one position being available, selection will be awarded to the player/s who have averaged the most points over the course of the AFL home and away season with a minimum of 14 games played. If players are still tied then the position will be awarded to the player who has played the more games in the AFL home and away season. After this, ties will be broken by the player who belongs to the higher placed AFLTM team, then the player with the most goals, then disposal, hitouts, marks and then tackles in that order.

A captain and vice-captain will also be selected, with the titles to be awarded to the players who were deemed to be the most consistent high scorers across the season (i.e. combination of high average, games played and number of selections in team of the week).

Finally, the coach of the team will be awarded to the coach with the most Team of the Week selections. If this is tied, then the selection will be awarded to the coach whose team is higher on the AFLTM Ladder.

2018 League Best & Fairest

Welcome all to the 2018 AFL TM League Best & Fairest count. The AFL TM League Best and Fairest award is given to the player who is deemed the best player in the league. For each game played this season 3 votes is given to the player who scored the most points in the game, 2 votes is awarded to the player with the second most points in the game and 1 vote is awarded to the player with the third highest points in the game.

In the event of two or more players having the same score in a match, the tie will be broken by awarding the higher votes to the player from the winning team. If this still doesn't split the players then the tie will be broken by awarding the higher votes to the player with more goals in the match. If players are still tied then the higher votes will be awarded to the player with the most disposals, hitouts, marks and then tackles in that order.

Voting is only conducted for the AFLTM Premiership season Home and Away Rounds which means finals and pre-season games do not count.

After the voting has been completed for all rounds, the player who has accumulated the highest amount of votes for the season will be crowned as the AFL TM League Best and Fairest. If two or more players are leading on the same amount of votes then the award will be shared amongst all leading vote-getters.
