    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

    Hi there, I am happy to count, spreadsheet, tally votes etc for the year, if given assess or provided data. I am not great at setting up the pages and voting system though.

          It was on TV a few weeks ago.
          Hilarious!!

          There has been an extreme lack of interest over the past few years, and whilst I have enjoyed running it, to do it for a handful of votes is not fun, especially when we had about 400 active users.

          I have run out of enthusiasm and was very grateful to liz for doing the count for last season.

            If, say 25 members post here confirming they will participate, we can activate it and you can vote retrospectively.

                    Come on viewers.
                    The Troy Luff Medal is an institution.
                    I'd hate to see it go.

                      To add to Scott's comment, the TLM has to have some meaning in that it represents a representative view of the RWO community on who they believe is the Club's best and fairest. The Wiki here will give you some history. Troy Luff Medal - RWOwiki.

                      You'll notice that the Wiki stops at 2013, which speaks to the recent decline in interest.

                      That said, if there is insufficient interest this year, so be it. It's up to use to assess why and if it's because we need to refresh how we do it/promote it a bit better/etc, then we'll do just that. It's ok if a year is missed...all part of the history.

                      If it turns out that there is simply not enough people who would like to participate, then it will remain as it is now.

                          although guilty of being a somewhat sporadic voter it would be a sad day if it were to disappear. It's been an RWO institution for some time now. So, I'm in too.
                          It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

                            What snajik said.
                            As far as I can remember RWO I can remember the TLM, it has always been a part of what I love about this online community.
                            I too have not been a regular voter, I did not vote if I did not see the game (no Fox Footy), it doesn't seem right.

                            I will commit to voting on every game that I watch.
