Honourable mention: Liam Shiels. Set the tone with the body on the line early - he played like a man who doesn’t want to lose his spot. Love him already.
Greenwood and Comben for fighting it out in the ruck too.
Like the happy meal comment this seems more about a specific thing that coaches would love than next best player on the ground.3. LDU

The TNT play(ers) of the day
Hugh Greenwood/ JZ.
JZ not getting enough love around here
He reminded me of a kid I used to coach that I gave a coaches award to one year.ferball
"Comben - 7 votes".
All makes sense
I didn't acknowledge Comben cause well I've all my eggs in the rickety basket that is our Charlie.
He was immense as he could have been playing his 3 rd game and his 13 in about 3 years. I'm trying not to mozz him.
Very reasonable approach. No doubt someone will complain having not read the instructions properly otherwise it wouldn’t be Big Footy. The outcome from round 1 appears to suggest that the methodology works.Normally I'll just add the coaches votes at the end of the other votes and keep a tally on the leaderboard bnut this will be a bit of an explanation post.
I'm only counting votes that are specifically mentioned as the coaches award or ones that seem obvious to me. Like these examples:
Happy meals were always a coaches award not necessarily the next best player, someone usually had to earn it somehow. Also normally i won't count HMs but I did count this:
Because it seems specific to what the award is sposed to be about. No one voted for Shiels and he wasn't in our best players but his effort early was great and set a tone. its exactly what he was recruited for. (By the coach.) So its not gonna be exact but if you want to ensure someone gets a coaches vote mention it I guess.
Like the happy meal comment this seems more about a specific thing that coaches would love than next best player on the ground.
I'm normally not gonna give it to people who are HM or stiff to miss votes or whatever. If someone makes a comment about a player that fits the vibe of the thing I might tho.
Its for something slightly more intangible. You could give Greenwood three votes for the weekend and the coaches vote cos he was actually asked by Clarko to chop X out in the ruck a little bit and ended up rucking all day and winning the position for us. Any coach would love that sort of thing. But it could go to Shiels, Turner or someone else just as validly for even just one tackle or smother at some point in the game.
if one effort catches your eye and you think it deserves recognition then go for it.
Hope that makes things less clear overall....
Anyway this is the tally.
Comben - 7 votes.
Huge - 5 votes
Larks, Sheeze, JZ and Log - 1 each.
Cheers. I was thinking about how to write that etc and realised this is just an informal vote count on a pseudonomous website and maybe I was going over the top. But its good to be open, fair and have a clear explanation of whats going on etc.Very reasonable approach. No doubt someone will complain having not read the instructions properly otherwise it wouldn’t be Big Footy. The outcome from round 1 appears to suggest that the methodology works.
