CRICHTON MEDAL VOTING SYSTEM

After each game of the 2020 season, each player is rated from zero to five by the six coaches, resulting in a minimum of zero votes and maximum of 30 per game.

At the end of the season, each player's games are tallied for the final score.

Obviously none of us will be able to go, unlike previous years, but once the YouTube link is posted we should be able to embed the stream here on the forum

At any rate, what are your predictions for the top 10 this year?

Ridley and McGrath surely up there.

 

[Albertross]

Hoping Ridley wins it. Has had an awesome year.

 

[eth-dog]

1. Ridley
2. Saad
3. Merrett
4. Shiel
5. Langford

 

[Old Stuckup]

1. Ridley
2. Saad
3. Merrett
4. McGrath
5. Shiel
6. Langford
7. Parish
8. Smith
9. McDonald-Tipungwuti
10. Snelling

 

[Old Campaigner]

I'm thinking we should get rid of the idea of 'Best and Fairest' and go with 'Least Worst and Fairest' instead

 

[andleanback]

1. Merrett (going off the coaches votes and always getting more than Ridley)
2. Ridley
3. Mcgrath
4. Shiel
5. Saad
6. Langford
7. Parish
8. Snelling
9. Smith
10. Hurley

 

[DERO]

The missed game could cost Merrett. It would be great to see Ridley win it.

1/ Ridley
2/ Merrett
3/ Saad
4/ Parish
5/ Shiel
6/ McGrath
7/ Langford
8/ Smith
9/ Tippa
10/ Snelling

I'd have Ridley and Saad as 1 and 2, but I think Merrett will nudge one of them to 3rd. So at a guess:

1. Ridley
2. Merrett
3. Saad
4. McGrath
5. Langford
6. Shiel
7. Parish
8. AMT
9. Smith
10. Hurley

Anything past the top 3 is an absolute crapshoot

 

[brutus76]

1. The Riddler
2. Zerrett
3. Saady
4. The Shield
5. Pigeodo

 

[Lore]

1. Merrett
2. Ridley
3. Saad
4. McGrath
5. Shiel

McGrath would be higher if he didn't get injured.

The club has posted some information on the club website now, I updated the OP and since it'll be a YouTube stream we can probably embed it in the forum once it's posted.

Stream the 2020 Crichton Medal tonight

Join us on Sunday night for a stream of the 2020 Crichton Medal from the Sunshine Coast.

Agree it'll be a three-horse race between Ridley, Saad and Zerrett, but expect Pidge to poll well despite the missed games.

The more minor interest will be in who rounds out the top 10. I can see Parish, Langford, Shiel and Walla all getting votes here and there, but very difficult to guess who might round out those final spots. "Top 10 BnF" isn't a bad badge on a footy CV, but I expect some blokes will scrape in there on the back of one or two decent games.

 

[Lore]

Bump.

So this is tonight. Get your votes it ha

 

[TheGrizz]

I expect guys like Saad, Daniher amd Raz are waiting for tonight before announcing their intentions either way

Yeah it'd be pretty uncomfortable to be there after announcing intentions to leave I suppose.

I don't think Joe put in his trade request last year until after the Crichton either, which as I recall was quite a while after our season ended? Perhaps that's why we had no time to find a replacement

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Who else is dressed up and drinking like we were at the event? Dero, jmoo wan, The Prosecutor, DapperDon?

EDIT: I knew I was missing some, sorry Mercurial89

XC looks underdressed haha, didn't pack his club suit? Or perhaps the players didn't pack theirs so they downgraded the dress code..

 

[84859300]

I have beer in hand - Saad, Ridley (leadership exempt) Merrett, Sheil, Pasrich my top 5

 

[84859300]

Is that sunlight on the dias - possibility this was pre-recorded before the delisting announcements were made??

He is in QLD.
