2008 Troy Luff Medal Count

[RogueSwan]

Thanks for the countdown ScottH and those who helped.
... and please don't change it, I enjoy having to think about the tough games and rewarding those that actually tried or played well.

Yeah - thanks Scott for all your work in putting the show on again - both for maintaining throughout the year and for an entertaining count-down. Good to re-live the good and not so good memories of the year.

I was surprised how many players typically received votes for each game - usually well over half the team and sometimes as much as three-quarters. All goes to show how we each see things very differently.

Did any players score maximum possible for any round? Macca against the Dogs is probably the most likely, though Goodes against Freo and maybe even Hall in one of the games when he was OK and everyone else was rubbish.

Did anyone score at least one raw point in every single game they played?

I know what you mean but in a game like the Crows they were all as bad as each other it was extremely difficult to pick anyone out.

[ScottH]

Just a suggestion for next year would it be possible for us to have the option to vote for 1, 2 or 3 players and not have to choose 1, 2 and 3? Sometimes it was easy to choose the BSOG & sometimes the SBSOG but difficult to choose the TBSOG.

Suggestion noted and duly ignored little miss indecisive!!

Yes it is difficult some weeks, sometimes I can only find one or 2 players deserving of votes, other times I have more than 3 deserving of votes. But tough decisions need to be made.

Thanks to all who voted, We had the most voters yet, in a year.
172 voters in total, averaging 51.3 votes per round.

Special mention to Lucky Knickers and 573v30 who voted every round, and many more who only missed a game or 2.

Thank you and don't forget to come back and vote next year.

Great work Scott, entertaining stuff.

I must have had the @@@@s after some of the bad losses hence the reason I probably didn't vote every round. I must try harder next year.

McV(Rnd 18 Dogs) scored all but 3 3-votes in that game(and no 2's or 1's).
ROK (Rnd 17 crows) was pretty dominant.
Kirk (Rnd 14 pies) Dominated, but a few others got 3 votes.

Wow, only one of two people who voted in every round!

It sure makes it easier when 2-3 players performed well when the rest of the team played poorly after a bad loss.

[reigning premier]

I only voted when I actually saw the entire game. Not only when we won. Mind you, in some of the losses we did have, it was a struggle to find three to vote for!

[shaun..]

Great work Scotty & Co. Much appreciated.

Yep, I'm the same, only voted when I got to see the game which is getting harder every year as a Vic based member.

[swantastic]

Well done Scotty great work as usual.

[Plugger46]

Thanks Scott.

It just shows how good Barry Hall's season was when he was actually playing. Hopefully we can get a full season out of him next year.

[Margie]

Very impressive (and hard) work, Scott. Thanks

[reigning premier]

Great effort Scott....

FWIW, I reckon we should be able to NOT vote. i.e. If we think only one player deserved one vote, then do that. I know some of my 2 and one votes were lucky.

[dimelb]

Thank you Scott.
And congrats to The Captain. What a player.
