Was interesting to see Pettersson win by such a wide margin - 9 votes is a drubbing. Most people would have had Stubbs winning by that margin. A quick look at the breakdown of the votes. He had it won after round 6. Didn't have to play another game & still would have saluted...Pretty incredible.

Well done to Pettersson on a well-deserved award.
As you say, Barista, Stubbs had a great year too but he had some hard-hitting teammates taking the focus off him - Browning, Emery, Dimery, Anderson, OConnell and that's just the first few that I think of. This year, Manly didn't have the stars shining as they have done previously. -
Eagles had 18 different players sharing the votesComment

That was the difference. The Eagles were all taking votes off each other, while Pettersson was a stand-out for Manly nearly every week.
Was an enjoyable night. A lot more focus on the women this time around, with the new medals and Sam Mostyn being in attendance. The womens' game seems to be a growth area in footy at the moment, so it's good to see that being recognised.
