Dave thanks a lot for doing all this. Its a task that somebody had to do and I'm glad we've got someone who is actually enthusiastic about it haha, you make it very fun to read too..

Congrats to Dane Swan (any surprise?)

In fact that top five is looking very fair

1. Dane Swan 26
2. Alan Didak 18
3. Scott Pendlebury 16
4. Heath Shaw 13
5. Nick Maxwell 12

Surprised Fraser did OK as well. he did have a pretty good year didn't he (when fit)

Also surprised Dale Thomas didn't get more votes. Brilliant finals series, relatively quite during home and away but not dissappointed in his season at all. Always tries hard, chases and tackles endlessly, and has added greater defencive ability to his game. I'd be looking for a massive 2010 from Daisy

One question: have you changed the way you tally the votes? I thought you would individually count every posters vote (so in one game, if i gave swan 2 and you gave swan 3, he gets a 5 for that round).. i guess thats not very fair though since everweek we have a different number of voters...

So how did you work out the averages?

good work again,

Yeah great work David... it was fun to slowly scroll down the page to find out the eventual winner.

Great work

No worries guys.

Kingswood, I've always done it the same way - counting up the votes in each post-match thread and giving the 3-2-1 to the players who receive the most each week. So, for example, in the preliminary final voting thread, Leigh Brown received 59 votes, Shaw 53, O'Bree 44, Thomas 35 and O'Brien 31... so Leroy gets the 3, Shaw the 2, and Cheesy the 1. In the very rare occasion that two players receive the same amount of votes, I give the preference to the player who received the most best-on-grounds from posters in the thread.

It's pretty time-consuming, but its quite satisfying to get it all finished.

Yes very well presented David, been looking forward to that for awhile. I think the results are an accurate depiction of the players performance throughout the season except maybe Leon was a bit low, I'd have had him 3rd.

Brilliant work David, surprised to see Toovey didn't get a vote though!

Sure beats the Brownlow for an accurate reflection of the season. Well done Nickster's.

Cheers, he came close on a number of occasions towards the end of the season. I'm sure we'll see more of his name in these threads next year.

How did you hear about HAL? Can you tell me any gossip? Are you really a "it"?

Well Done David! and to Swanny I can't believe Corrie wasn't in the mix especially against North
