Welcome to the 2023 Adelaide Crows Board B&F ceremony! As the season has just finished and you all have been voting on the best players throughout the season, it's time to award a winner.
Each week on average 93 people contributed to the voting, making this the most robust and therefore best B&F system going around. None of this 5 coaches giving votes crap, these are the True Accurate Rankings.
How the Numbers Were Calculated
The question used for B&F polling each week was "Who played well against [opponent]?". People could vote as they see fit. You were allowed to select as many players as you like, but you weren't able to see the existing votes before voting, or change your vote.
Each week a player could score a maximum of 100 votes, determined by the percentage of people who thought that player played well that week. If 80% of people thought the player in question played well, they gain 80 votes.
These votes were divided by the number of games the player played, giving us a votes per game metric as the final deciding factor. This fairly shows who played best this year even if they weren't selected or were injured for parts of the year, rather than letting average players rack up mid-tier vote numbers and climb the ranks.
NEW Last year there were a few question marks about calculating votes per game and how players with low game counts would affect this total. For this season, I've limited the official rankings to any player who played at least half the season, which is 12 out of 23 games or more.
Previous Winners
2022 - Sam Berry (1st), Jordan Dawson (2nd), Jake Soligo (3rd, adj)
THE WINNER - JORDAN DAWSON
A huge congratulations to club captain Jordan Dawson for taking out the B&F, who was clearly our best player this year and a step above the rest of the pack.
Dawson was a highly consistent, elite midfielder for us this year, averaging 27 disposals, 6.6 score involvements, 3.8 clearances, and 6.7 tackles. He was renowned for his lethal kick and damaging disposal
He was adjudged best on ground 6 times across the season by BigFooty posters, the most of any player by far.
TOP 10 - WORRELL RUNNER UP
1. Jordan Dawson - 65.5 avg votes
2. Josh Worrell - 60.3
3. Chayce Jones - 53.5
4. Max Michalanney - 51.5
5. Rory Laird - 50.3
6. Nick Murray - 49.6
7. Taylor Walker - 49.3
8. Jake Soligo - 48.3
9. Izak Rankine - 47.7
10. Mitch Hinge - 46.9
Dawson finished with a clear lead over Worrell, and a significant lead over Jones. Worrell polled exceptionally well, however he just met the cutoff of 12 games played in the year. Perhaps he should have played more. If you think he didn't play enough games, given the rest of the top 10 all played at least 18 matches, you are welcome to exclude him and elevate the next player, Luke Pedlar, into the top 10
Chayce Jones was rewarded for strong form and a new positional change this year, recording his best ever season until it was cut short due to injury. Hope for a speedy recovery Chayce.
Max Michalanney finishing 4th shows his excellent, consistent debut year was recognized by the posters on this forum. And rounding out the top 5 was Rory Laird, a mainstay of our midfield and a generally consistent player.
