Welcome to the 2022 Adelaide Crows Board B&F ceremony! As the season has just finished and you all have been voting on the best players throughout the season, it's time to award a winner.
Each week on average 88 people contributed to the voting, making this the most robust and therefore best B&F system going around. None of this 5 coaches giving votes crap, these are the True Accurate Rankings.
How the Numbers Were Calculated
The question used for B&F polling each week was "Who played well against [opponent]?". People could vote as they see fit. You were allowed to select as many players as you like, but you weren't able to see the existing votes before voting, or change your vote.
Each week a player could score a maximum of 100 votes, determined by the percentage of people who thought that player played well that week. If 80% of people thought the player in question played well, they gain 80 votes.
These votes were divided by the number of games the player played, giving us a votes per game metric as the final deciding factor. This fairly shows who played best this year even if they weren't selected or were injured for parts of the year, rather than letting average players rack up mid-tier vote numbers and climb the ranks.
The full poll voting system was only used from rounds 4 onward. For rounds 1 to 3 I went back and looked through the thread and awarded votes to players based on how often those players were mentioned as playing well in replies to the thread. These were converted to votes out of 100 to match the other rounds.
THE WINNER - SAM BERRY
A huge congratulations to second year midfielder Sam Berry who took out the Crows Board B&F for 2022.
Berry was a highly consistent player this year, averaging 17.6 disposals, a ridiculous 9.5 tackles and 4.6 clearances, establishing himself as a key player in the Crows midfield. Unfortunately the Crows coaching panel was rather silly in not playing him the first four rounds of the year
Berry's consistency was a highlight, never polling below 43 votes in any match while also taking out two best on ground honors for the Round 17 loss to Hawthorn and Round 19 loss to Sydney
TOP 10 - DAWSON RUNNER UP
1. Sam Berry - 67.8 avg votes
2. Jordan Dawson - 67.1
3. Josh Worrell - 63.6
4. Jake Soligo - 58.8
5. Taylor Walker - 55.2
6. Rory Laird - 49.8
7. Darcy Fogarty - 48.9
8. Shane McAdam - 39.9
9. Ben Keays - 36.9
10. Will Hamill - 35.3
Jordan Dawson was narrowly beaten by Berry in the end, coming in second by 0.7 average votes. Dawson was named best afield in 5 matches including the famous after the siren victory over Port Adelaide in round 3, but ultimately a few lower finishes in the back half of the year cost him top spot
Also in a huge vote of confidence, Josh Worrell finished in 3rd, though he only played four matches, meaning his result was skewed to some degree by his excellent debut match where he scored 82 votes
Jake Soligo also finished top 5, as our best first year player by a mile. He confirmed himself as best 22 this year with a stellar back half of the year including a best on ground result in round 14 against Gold Coast
Rounding out the top 5 is Taylor Walker, awarded best on ground five times, especially earlier in the year.
