Bit late but people are still asking me who I thought should have won

I reckon Scarlett. Surely he would have won it if 1 or both of his shots had gone through for goals

I reckon Stevie J won because they only took the first half into account and he was involved in 5 of our first 8 goals

Also, maybe they were taking into account his redemption and the fact he got us through against Collingwood with some key goals (I know they're not meant to do that, but this could all go in 'the mix' when they are deciding)

Chapman was devastating Port and would have been a very worthy winner. How can he kick the ball so far when he is injured??

I think this fact alone was enough to do it. He kicked 3 of those five and effectively ended the game.

I think Scarlett was best over the full 4 quarters, but Stevie stepped up and won the game when it was there to be won, so I think he was quite the deserving winner.

I'll be really interested to see how this vote ends up

All the impartials I have spoken to seem to think Chappy should have got it

From the voting so far on this board it is SJ and Scarlo neck and neck wih SJ slightly ahead

Could have even been Enright, Mooney or Ottens and it would have been justified.
I was thinking of putting other players in the poll, but thought I would keep it to the players who got the votes from the official judges

Ottens would have been a big chance if he had of kicked goals.

Mooney played well but kicked 4 of his 5 in the second half

Enright is great, but i reckon a lot of his work goes un-noticed which i unfortunate for him in terms of personal awards

I remember hearing somewhere that the norm smith is already decided by three quarter time to ensure it gets processed and is ready for the presentation. Can't remember where i heard that but it stuck in my mind.

that used to be the case but I thought they changed it to voting after the siren after buckley won over voss in 2002 (because voss had clinched the match in the last 5 minutes of the game and had played well all game it made it seem a bit silly that Buckley was MOM)

The GF was the best game I'd seen MS play, ruled the backline and set up so many attacking thrusts... not much opposition though... PC faded a little but was very unlucky.

Could have raffled it between 4-5 players.
