MVP 2023 GWS Most Valuable Player (MVP)

[Giant Strides]

The MVP voting is back again for 2023.

We're going to go with the same voting system for our GWS BigFooty Board MVP as the last five years, which I think works well.

Posters will have a total of 15 votes per game to award to players as they see fit, with a maximum of 5 votes per player. That still allows you to award the standard 5,4,3,2,1 but flexibility to award differently if your assessment of players' performance is different.

I then turn those votes into points as a percentage (i.e. a score out of 100), with everyone who gets awarded points getting points (providing they round to a minimum of 1). So, a total of 100 points gets awarded each week (rounding errors sometimes makes that 99 or 101).

For example:

• if 3 players perform equally well, you may choose to award each player 5 points (15 points total)
• if there's one standout well ahead of others, 3 moderately good players, you may choose to award a 5, three 3s & a 1 (15 points total)
• if everyone plays poorly in a loss, you may choose to give 1 point to fifteen different players (15 points total).
• if we have a bad game, and people don't want to give full points totaling 100, then you may award less than a total of 15 votes and say that's all you want to award, in which case the total points awarded to players will be less than the full 100.

After everyone has voted, I'll total the votes and work out a percentage to award the MVP points out of 100 each week.

As usual, each round will have its own thread, and once each round is finalised, this thread will record the running total.

The colour codings show the top 6. I don't change the order of the players each week. Where they first appear, they stay in that order with the points accumulating from weekly assignments. Late in the season, I'll reorder the list in numerical points order.

And with his second MVG, Tobes retakes the lead, as Kelly's all-or-nothing approach drops him back to #3, with Mr Consistency Tom Green

[Giant Strides]

Round 16 votes/points from the upset win over Demons: Kelly and Green the dominant players, but quite a few got votes:



At the top, it's pretty tight for the top 3, with a fourth (Cogs) still in contention for the KSM; then a clear gap to the rest of the field:



Josh Kelly's had the most MVG awards (5), but suffered from missing a few games. Tom Green

has had just the 1 MVG, but been very consistent, missing votes in just 2 games that he played in (also missed 1 with suspension) & all of those he was top 6. Toby has also been very consistent; missed 2 games due injury, only didn't poll in 1 game, and out of the top 6 in another, while being MVG twice.

OK, I've put this thread into a litle bit of hibernation until we get knocked out of finals, so that there's a bit of mystery about the final ladder. I will post some of the individual weekly totals though.

In the lead up to tonight's Kevin Sheedy Medal, I will be revealing the votes for the final rounds of the H&A and finals games, and revealing the winner of the GWS Board fan-voted Most Valuable Player 2023 for GWS.

Stay tuned!
