Hanners needed 6 votes from the coaches to tie with Fyfe.

Did he do enough?

Would be an amazing achievement to win this award after the season Fyfe has had.

It's going to be close

He will need 5-1, 4-2 or 3-3 split to get there. He certainly wasn't BOG material but in the next tier. Maybe Horse might sneak in one more vote than he usually would just to get him over the line

I thought he did enough. His drive through the midfield was evident at important times throughout the game. Had quite a few others star as well though. Hope he gets there

Will get votes.
Getting votes isn't in doubt. Getting enough votes is where it gets interesting. Wasn't as dominant as the last few games, with Tippo & Reid the standouts. I'm hoping Hanners scrapes over the line though.

If I were giving votes it would be
5: Reid
4: Mitchell
3: Kennedy
2: Hannebery
1: May/Tippo

Could easily see Horse bumping him up (probably at the expense of Mitchell..)

The Australian is saying Fyfe is the winner, but no mention of margins. I reckon they've looked at the post-round 22 scores and jumped the gun, although unfortunately I think Fyfe will hold on.
Walsh is a good professional reporter (usually cricket) so I doubt he would have made such an elementary mistake. Judging by the game on the weekend I would have it more likely than not that Hanners didn't get the 6 votes required.

Would imagine Fyfe wins that in a canter

The players pretty much observe 'group think' in their own award.

Pretty much if SEN was talking about a player in June...that's the one who's got it.
