It’s a pretty good reflection on the season but honestly Whitfield should be winning this by the length of the Flemington straight! He has been ridiculously good.

It took him a month or so to fit into the role, and during that month or so period Cogs was dominant, thus the lead Cogs had needs to be made up, on top of which Cogs has been pretty good himself so not losing points to Lachie all that fast

Cogs will win

I think after last week he'll be closing up the gap with Cogs coming into round 20.

Cogs has been absolutely terrific but Whitfield is different level imo. He does a couple of things every week that no other player in the comp is capable of!

Both stars, just anecdotally I know Cogs got most of my votes early on, but they have been split between him and Lachie most weeks since by me and I think most of us, thus the math..

Progress points after round 19 - Lachie has closed the gap to Cogs at the top with his first 1st rating!

 

[Giant Strides]

Round 20 and the chase for first place is heating up as Cogs regains a bit of breathing space at the top of the ladder:

 

[Determinant]

My sentiment is with Lachie, but either would be a very worthy recipient

 

[Giant Strides]

Sophie's choice really. Always loved Cogs for his work ethic and skills - love to see him win it, deservingly so plus an original. But Lachie has bounced back so well since last year's troubles, and his performance off half-back this year has been so critical to our success this year he's equally deserving. First tied KS medal the solution?

 

[Raymann]

Do we have a winner?

Do we have a winner?

We are continuing into the final series and will announce a winner after we are knocked out or win the GF.

#17 - Adam Kennedy - 41 points

A great effort from Kenners after missing so much of the year - he really stabilised out backline in the second half of the season.

 

[Giant Strides]

#16 - Toby Greene - 43 points

Sigh, a wasted season from Toby after his off-season broken toe/ Just don't kick yourself, Tobes, we can't risk another break!
