2023 Dally M Awards

Well it’s better than what’s going on now, how do we know these so called experts who are voting don’t have any favourite players that they vote for.

Yes, it worked so well for the AFL.

Lots of League fans already have their doubts about ref impartiality.

Yeah, it's so unfair that Smith, Cronk and Slater never got to win it because they played with other dominant players in dominant teams.
Such a shame that Langer, Sticky, Loz and Teddy missed out too.

Yeeeeeah ok

The only way to make it fair is give every player a score out of 10.

That way the Panfer players (or any team winning) are not stealing points of each other..

Cleary / Yeo/Edwards Probably should have won it the last 4 years...

This would be the most sensible way to do it, however, I suspect your lower talent/higher work rate players would score well each week as people would naturally score them based on effort.
For example, a Josh Jackson type player, who runs his blood to water, would rarely challenge for points in a 3,2,1 system, but would likely score 8/10 most weeks as an individual score as he grafted his nuts off and made the best of his abilities - I think any judge would find it difficult not to have a natural bias in his scoring based on commitment/effort rather than game changing ability.
