Finalists for the AFL Army Award have been announced...

HALF of the 6 nominated plays are from our man ALWYN. Sensational effort.

Get on and vote and make sure he wins!

I had a look at them all, couldn't decide. But man, am I glad he's in red and black. He's going to be a star (if he's not already). I just hope injury doesn't destroy what is going to be an excitement machine.

broken arm wont affect his career in any way

Yeah, I wasn't specifically referring to the injury at present. I was more looking forward. It seemed his arm went pretty easily (if a break is an easy thing to occur) - I can just see it being a leg, or a knee, or worse. Just hope the new coach(es) have something up their sleeve to help him manage it so that he doesn't get crunched and injured so easily.

It will be awesome to see him play a full season. Hopefully next year.

Round 6 it is then.

We should all agree on which round to vote for and then jump on board. That way we don't take votes off him.

I voted for all Alwyn's nominations. I think they all counted...?

Talk about self-cannibalisation.

I bet he'll come 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

Vote for them all three times instead then

as others have said, better to pick one week and all vote for that, give him an edge. Round 6 is the one picked on Blitz, so it would make sense to go with that, rather than evening out the votes and giving one of the other teams players a look in.

Here's a question, would he have polled better in the NAB Rising Star than Ryder had he been eligible?

Gyoza · Post by **Gyoza** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 9:49 pm

I don't see the mathematical logic in picking one week. From what I've seen you can vote multiple times. So if you decide to vote for just one week and vote 5 times....why not just vote 5 times for all three great Alwyn moments?

Koala · Post by **Koala** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 10:23 pm

ok... say you have a West Coast fan, a Collingwood fan, a Carlton fan, and an Essendon fan. If each of them have time to vote three times each for their players, you'd have the following result:

Daniel Kerr: 3 votes
Alwyn Davey Round 4 - 1 vote
Alwyn Davey Round 6 - 1 vote
Alwyn Davey Round 8 - 1 vote
Brendan Fevola - 3 votes
Tyson Goldsack - 3 votes

So for Alwyn to have the same number of votes for each of his nominations, it would take the Essendon fan three times longer - they'd have to vote 9 times - and it would only get Alwyn even with the other players.

So if the Essendon fan has that much time, and instead voted 9 times for ONE Alwyn Davey nomination... that one nomination would end up with 9 votes - putting Alwyn 6 votes ahead of the other players

so it makes sense to concentrate on voting for one week, getting as many votes possible for that one week - rather than running the risk of spreading the votes between three weeks and possibly not drawing clear overall!

No worries, I know what you mean

but I`m still going to vote a shiteload for all 3. Maybe I just have too much time
