It's the most wonderful time of the football year! Grand Final week, where we find out which club supporters have bragging rights for 12 months and who will be mercilessly trolled for that same period (or longer). A new player will make a hero of themself by winning the Norm Smith Medal, and another may be robbed like Boyd and Houli, but most importantly, we get to crown a new Leon Davis Medallist! 
A Bay 13 tradition, the Leon Davis Medal is awarded to the player deemed 'worst on ground' in the Grand Final.
A quick glance at the dishonour roll below shows that there is no concrete criteria for WOG, you can determine it however you like. Whether it's based on expectations (Rioli, Dangerfield) or just pure s**t output (Tippett); or whether you vote for the invisible man (Jenkins) or on disposal counts (Finlayson); the guy who appeared to be a double agent (Ballantyne); or the underperforming stat-padder (Sidebottom). There are many more ways to determine the WOG than the BOG.
Winners:
2011: Alan Didak
2012: Cyril Rioli
2013: Hayden Ballantyne
2014: Lewis Jetta
2015: Jack Darling
2016: Kurt Tippett
2017: Josh Jenkins
2018: Steele Sidebottom
2019: Jeremy Finlayson
2020: Patrick Dangerfield
2021: ???
Whilst tomorrow certainly does have a feelgood kind of vibe to it, the Leon always brings out the trolling and schaudenfreude. Perhaps even moreso considering the potential closeness of this contest. Plus it's something supporters of the other 16 clubs can be involved in.
So who will it be? The Ross Lyon of the Leon Gary Rohan isn't here to finally break through, it's all fresh faces.
Will Michael Hibberd finally channel his inner Essendon and troll zackah by vanishing in a final? On the other hand, 'DJ s**t Boy' (Aker Charlie Spargo) has a name made for the occasion. If he's quiet, Adam Treloar is sure to attract a tsunami of votes from b**hurt (no Ivermectin) Pies flogs and Kane Cornes. Or will Jason Johanissen be the first player to win the Norm Smith*/Leon Davis double?
Post your predictions from now, post your nominations during the game, and we'll see who wins this most inglorious of awards.
