So far, you are spot on - hard to see who can stop him.

I can tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Seriously, I can tell you, or I can challenge you all to try and work it out.
What would you prefer?

I doubt anyone can watch 8 AFL matches every week so I'm guessing its probably derived from the bests lists along with possession numbers?

Very close to the mark ugg.

It is taken from the best players as named by the Herald Sun, with the top 10 players in the match scored on a 10-1 basis.
The make up of the 10-1 is decided on what the final margin ofd each match is.
For example, a close finish of less than 10 points e.g. Swans v Demons last week results in the winning team scoring 10-8-6-4-2 and the losing team 9-7-5-3-1.
But a blow out result of more than 10 goals will see the winning team score 10-9-8-7-6 and the losers 5-4-3-2-1.

Clear as mud?

There's only problem with your system, it depends on the judgment of the person who's awarding those bests lists and on some occasions they are way off the mark. I sometimes wonder if they actually watch the game at all or just pick some names based on the statistics.
