Well done to Mullen for winning KOTY for the second consecutive year and his 3rd since 2009!

Should be noted that Snowden was leading before his suspension. So well done to him on an awesome season too.

I've attached the full points distribution below. The ones marked in Gold, Silver and Bronze were the top 3 for that week and I also gave each of those a 3-2-1 based on that, and that tally looks like this;

Kade Snowden 28.5
Jarrod Mullen 22

Beau Scott 14
Darius Boyd 13
James McManus 9

Thanks guys, who's going to win it next year?

 

[RABK]

Thanks.

Well done to Kade and Mullo. Whilst i think others shined brighter at times we wouldn't have been anywhere near finals football without their consistent efforts throughout the year.

 

[Matt23]

Snowy might not poll as well next season with the addition of Packer, Mullo would have to be considered favorite again next season, Darius might be the dark horse

 

[Jono078]

I'm going to say Clydesdale and our centres will be the big leapers next year.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

I'm sure this has been brought up on previous seasons but do you send this to the knights? It might not be much but I'm sure guys like mullo would get a kick out of knowing what the fans have voted for.

 

[RABK]

Crusade use to present an award for it at presentation night i think.

Used to and it was very well received.

Then the new regime took over and they weren't interested in what the fans thought.

Good idea

 

[Jono078]

Yeah I remember a few years back macavity said it would be presented some way to them.

Probably won't be seen by them now by the sounds of it.

 

[timka4]

Nice work with this, must get more involved with the KOTW voting next season. Snowden has done very well with his suspensions and I think injury early in the year? Think he might of pipped Mullen had he not missed 'x' amount of weeks.

But go mullen!

 

[Rod]

Kind of puts the quality of the Dally M's in perspective when Snowy didn't even make our top 5 players in that. He even got less points than Mason who got 4. I don't even know if he got a single point.....

Personally I think the Dally M's are more a popularity contest

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Yep, and honestly, your everyday fan has a better understanding of the game than some journo.

But you also have to consider that dally ms are a 3,2,1 for all players on ground not just the knights.

 

[RHCP]

Dally Ms are a massive wank. They would give Cam Smith an award for wiping his arse.

Well deserved Mullo. I think Kade would have won it if not for his suspension. Surprised Darius was third, the consensus for 2013 seems to be disappointment. But when he's good, he's very good, so he'd poll well in those games.

Not sure who will be the big movers next season.

 

[Big Tim]

Makes for interesting reading.

2 players who polarised opinions here, Snowy and Darius, polled 2nd and 3rd.

Also note that 3 of the top 5 were Bennett buys, and 6 of the top 10 (I included Rochow in this count.)

 

[TooheysNew]

Boyd isn't anywhere near as bad as everyone on here seems to make out.

 

[timka4]

Boyd isn't anywhere near as bad as everyone on here seems to make out.

This. He hasn't slotted in as well compared to what he did at the dragons, but he is still going good so far imo

 

[perverse]

People don't really criticize him for his ability or anything he's particularly doing wrong on the field. His attitude is horrendous sometimes, and he doesn't provide the level of effort his paycheque demands on a regular basis.

Mostly, he's a peaheart. He's not holding us back as much as he's not putting his hand up to pull us forward, and that's frustrating from a marquee signing.

I agree with this to some extent. I'll give him leeway for playing with what I've heard is an injury.
