MVP BigFooty West Coast Eagles Player of the Year 2019 Edition - Results Thread

[squashface]

After a long, sometimes brilliant and occasionally painful season, it is time to reveal the BFWCPOTY award for 2019 (someone come up with a better name for that geewhiz). I still have our two finals games to tally so I figure while I do that over the coming days you all can post a few predictions of the Top 10 in here if you're feeling a bit adventurous.

Last year Elliot Yeo won it from Jack Redden in a premiership year (back2back effort from him as well). Can he make it a threepeat? What does HT's mail man say? What actually is margarine? You be the judge.

For reference, in the countdown: DNP = Did Not Play and 0 = Played but did not poll votes

Reserved for piss test

 

[Quinz]

I reckon Yeo wins again. Sheppard is super popular around here too.

 

[ioppolo]

Yeo for three peat.

 

[Kempy the legend]

Flyen Ryan

 

[squashface]

A few little fun facts so far.

The start, middle and end of the season were all completely controlled by 3 different players at each time respectively until the very end where with one game to go, first and second are separated by less than a vote.

 

[Adzam]

I reckon Yeo wins again. Sheppard is super popular around here too.

Yeah I think it will be one of those two. I definitely gave shep a lot of votes

 

[bUCKET__]

Yeo, Shep, Shuey is my top 3

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Shep dominates the first third, Shuey the middle third, Yeo the final third.

Shep wins is my vote.

 

[Jiggyman]

Expecting Sheed to poll well early, too. Definitely dropped off towards the end of the year.

 

[Biggie]

Shep is so dreamy.

Hurn third best in 2009 before his maiden AA and Premiership captain in 2018. What a legend, been doing it forever.

Thanks for that, will update OP

 

[RookiePick]

I stopped voting at some point. Weight of expectation was crushing my ability to think critically and I spent most of the games hurling abuse at the umps, players, VFL, reverse vampires, numpties on the main board game day threads etc

Huge effort Squashy to pick up the torch and roll this award out for the board this season.

The man with a hairline you could set your watch to for me

 

[squashface]

Another fact while we wait: Massively down on voters this year compared to last year. The corresponding 2018 rounds almost always had significantly more voters than the 2019 rounds.

Premiership hangover existed here as well I suspect.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Still haven’t voted for the semi final debacle. Hard to bring myself to do it. The nervous beers may be playing part in forgetting the game

My predictions;

- Gov misses the top 10
- Jetta received most votes from myself
- Shuey wins, Yeo second, Shep third (Tight I reckon I gave Yeo less votes than most)

 

[Dark Sharks]

You're all incorrect i'm afraid, Fraser has surprisingly polled the most votes and earned himself another contract.

Do you have access to 2017's numbers?

Do you have access to 2017's numbers?

I don’t have that data, you’d have to ask fidstar
