MVP Votes vs Port Adelaide - Round 1, 2026

[ferball]

Parker
Chom (wouldn't have given him votes before watching the replay.)
LDU (He was on three votes brfore I watched the replay but the other two were just so important.)

Some very unlucky players didn't get votes.

Coaches votes

Jy for the block that set up our first goal.
FOS for the job he did on Butters.

 

[ferball]

Watching the replay changes my perspective...

3. LDU
2. Parker
1. X

Stephens criminally gets 4th.

The replay changed my opinion too. I went with LDU, Stephens and Sheeze or Parker originally.

- 147 votes. This kid has come so far since he first joined us. he's not a kid anymore. Great game. His best ever.
LDU - 96 votes. Won us the game with a patch in the middle (of the ground and the game) where he couldn't be beaten.
Parks and Wreck! - 72 votes. Played that "old bastard on the backline" role to perfection. Magnificent game.
Harry Sheezel - 26 votes. Just a standard game from Sheeze - ie bloody unreal and in the best players on the ground. You can see the benefit of his off season work.
Chom - 17 votes. He was almost unbeatable on the backline. So many times he stopped Port in their tracks. It was bloody brilliant.
X - 8 votes. He put paid to those claims he won't deal with the new rules. Was as much of a weapon as ever.
JD - 7 votes in a Luke Parker

-like "turn back the clock" game.
Souv had 2 votes, one for every two goals, while Jy, Tremors, Daniels and Griff all had one vote each.

Sometimes I wonder about the votes people give but this week we have 12 players getting votes (possibly a record while I've been doing it) and every one made sense. Anyway here's the official tally:
