There is a rumour going round that the New Zealand Knights players were asked to resubmit their votes after all of them voted for fellow team mate Darren Baezley.
Just shows how seriously some teams take the vote.

Earlier in the season the same thing happened with Sydney FC. The sydney players were all voting for players who had little influence on the game, especially late subs. So as to increase their own chances of winning it.

So as to increase their own chances of winning it. I've seen this done at unigames soccer as well - major flaw in the system. I have also seen a similar thing done at local level. When the away team manager doesn't fill out the opposition's best player and not sign the team sheet, the home manager then fills in a player who he thinks is going well in the points tally. |

What they should do, is have their choices narrowed down to 5 or so players. The top 5 performing on the day. Doesnt stop the problem, but diminishes the effect. It is a shame that they would do this sort of thing, they are supposed to be professional footballers

I think each playrer votes only about 3 times a season.
How do you think "Bobby Despotovski won it last year?
Just fellow players taking the piss!

How else does a wanker like Nick Carle win it? I can't believe he'd get that many votes from the players given how big a wanker he is!
I'm with Adz, the brownlow system works, although get rid of that stupid rule about a red card that robbed Meggsi.

If Carle is the nutter you keep saying he is Omni, what's the bet he threatened his team mates to vote for him or else. ;D Maybe Newcastle should have voted for Ben Kennedy? ;D |

Hahaha Touche Pete!
But he can't throw a punch (look at the clip, of him and Beauchamp 'going at it') so I don't think it'd work.

No, but he could've threatened to throw an elbow to the back of the head in training ;-)

Don't make the referees score the JW Medal. They can't even do there job now! If they had to work out the best three players on the park the quality of officiating will be f@cked! |
