How so?

I like that it’s your best 20 games cos then you aren’t penalised for missing 1-2 games over a year for any reason such as a concussion
Voting system

Coaches vote individually after each round via a 4, 3, 2, 1 voting system. One vote means a player played their role, while four votes denote a standout best-on-ground performance. Five coaches vote each week, with a player able to receive a maximum of 20 votes in any one game. If two players finish on the same number of votes, a countback is applicable.

It’s overly complicated for next to no benefit.

I think it (top 15) might end up like that. Not sure about Bailey Scott tho. I feel like I'm being harsh on Zurhaar too.
 
1. Sheezel
2. LDU
3. Xerri
4. Scott
5. Comben
6. Powell
7. McKercher
8. Curtis
9. Larkey
10. Corr

Tough to split Sheezel & LDU.
 
X will win given the 2 games sheez missed

LDU 3rd

Then throw a blanket over the next 7.

From Scott, Corr, Curtis, comben, arch, Powell, Simpkin
Sheezel only missed 2 games they count only your best 20

Sheezel will win easy

I can’t even think of 1 bad Sheezel game but whatever it was it won’t count and his other 20 will

Larkey finishing below Stephenson? Probably didn’t have his best year but surprised how low he finished.
 
THE 2024 SYD BARKER MEDAL CLUB CHAMPION

Winner: Harry Sheezel :glowingstar:
Runner up: Tristan Xerri
3rd place: Luke Davies Uniacke
4th place: Charlie Comben
5th place: Bailey Scott
6th place: Tom Powell
7th place: Colby Mckercher
8th place: George Wardlaw
9th place: Paul Curtis
10th place: Aidan Corr
 
1 Sheezel
2 Xerri
2 LDU
4 Corr
5 Powell
6 Comben
7 Scott
8 Larkey
9 Wardlaw
10 Simpkin

Powell was the hardest for me to place.

McKercher, Archer, Curtis, Zurhaar and Tucker will also be pushing for a top 10 finish.
 
I reckon top 2 are certainties. I think LDU had some below (his par) games and it’ll be tight between him and corr.
Corr finished the season well but started slowly due to injuries in pre season. Might cost him.

LDU changed the way he plays a bit. Did more blocking and unselfish play and learned to deal with tags and heavy attention. Might get him more kudos from the coaches.
 
The BnF night carries as much excitement and importance as a primary school hamper raffle.

They should do what they did in 2020 and have a power point presentation and the playing group seated in one room and get it over and done with within the hour.
