Best & Fairest votes are awarded by the coaches in full knowledge of each player's assignment for the week. So if we divide total votes by the number of games played, we get an average votes-per-game for each player, and we can rank them.
Of course this is a flawed system. It doesn't include all sorts of important factors. But all systems are flawed, so this one is probably as interesting as any other, and it does hold some surprises.
This is how our coaches ranked the players in 2005, according to this method:
1. Hodge
2. Bateman
3. Mitchell
4. Brown
5. Crawford
6. Everitt
7. Williams
8. Sewell
9. Croad
10. Clarke
11. Hay
12. Jacobs
13. Osborne
14. Smith
15. Barker
16. Ries
17. Roughead
18. Dawson
19. Lewis
20. Dixon
21. Ladson
22. Brennan
23. Vandenberg
