If you're wondering why we've dropped it down from 5 votes to 3...
Big numbers hurty head and me no think good.

Welcome back to the most prestigious Essendon-centric award available to players who don the sash. Greater than a Crichton, shinier than a Brownlow - the winner of this award is so proud to win that they don't even ask for a physical prize. Which is good, because we don't have a budget.

After a real drop-off in interest last year, I let this award go by the wayside from Round 17 onwards, but I have since caught up on the count and Mason Redman is a first-time winner for 2022, followed by new skipper Zach Merrett as his bridesmaid.



THE RULES

As you may well know, after every Essendon match in the AFL™ Toyota™ 2023™ Premiership™ Season™ there will be an MVP thread opened up where you will vote for who you thought were the standout players on the ground. The voting method is very simple. Following this template;

3. BEST ON GROUND
2. 2nd best
1. 3rd best


Votes will close around 6-7pm on Tuesday or thereabouts. Votes will be tallied and the top 3 vote-getters will be our top 3 players for that week.

PLEASE keep in mind that you need to clearly label who gets the 3 votes and so on, just to make it easier for the votes to be counted. Some of you weirdos make your own nicknames that make no sense. If your votes do not follow that format they may not be counted.

Prior to Round 24, which is now a dead rubber, congratulations to our captain Zach Merrett on his victory in the 2023 BigFooty Essendon Board Player of the Year. He is now a 5-time POTY winner, and will likely become All-Australian again in a few weeks time.

His award of a Fossey's Gift Voucher and a 1994 Nissan Sentra with no hubcaps will be sent within 14 business years.

I do enjoy the fact that the end to our season was so miserable and pathetic that no-one bothered to even make an MVP thread for the Round 24 thrashing at the hands of Collingwood.

This ****ing club.
