MVP West Coast Board MVP 2013 - progress thread

[Miguel Sanchez]

It's back again for 2013! The award for the best Eagle of the season, as voted by you - the knowledgeable and passionate posters of BigFooty.

You've probably worked out by now that each week you can vote for the best 5 players of the match. If you haven't, then what are you waiting for? Go here to vote for the best in the Melbourne game. All votes will be tallied and will go towards deciding the most valuable Eagle of 2013.

Last season's surprise winner, Daniel Kerr, has started behind the eight-ball this year due to injury but showed his class in his first hitout of the season. Can he go back-to-back?

JK is playing like an absolute beast at the moment.. keep it up!

 

[Suma Magic]

As his humble sponsor, I'd like to congratulate Matty Priddis for being top three after two games tallied.

I'm backing him for a big one this weekend, potentially whilst dishing out a football lesson to Brick McClean.

He'll drop him like one

JK is playing like an absolute beast at the moment.. keep it up!

Especially when you consider how little the ball got inside our forward 50 in those first two games.

After tallying up round 3, POTY is shaping up as a two-horse race at the moment. Though at this stage lst year Scooter was out to what seemed to be an unassailable lead...

 

[dajesmac]

Who won last year again?

Who won last year again?

From the OP:

Last season's surprise winner, Daniel Kerr

From the OP:

That's right.

 

[lmach]

C'mon Masto.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Should we really release the winners of each week. This off season was pretty empty for material. We might have more fun releasing this info during the break....

Other than that JK is a ****ing force. Is today the day he finally absolutely destroys Carlton?

Votes will go in camera at some point mid-season and there'll be a big countdown in the offseason.

Already looking like a two-horse race, although at a similar time last year Scooter had a seemingly insurmountable lead.

 

[Shupe]

I think they are clearly our two best players this so far this season.
