Magarey Medal 2013

is it too early to start chatting about the fairest & most brilliant player for this year ?

i doubt whether a Sturt, Glenelg or South player can win it

i'll start with these two names both for North  

George Thring,
who has impressed me with his workrate & mop up skills so far this week

Nathan ''BP'S love child'' Gordon,
is a great player almost certain to be redrafted at the end of the year & certain to poll very well

i will leave it with these two for the moment & see what other people think

From us I reckon Ben Macreadie could be leading after round 6.

Travis Tuck has been sensational over the last month and possibly could have 10 votes over that period. He could be a chance if he continues his form.

Chris Schmidt probably quite hasn't been as good this season but could still pick up a few votes.

Gordon and Liddle would be favourites from the other clubs.

Do any of the media outlets these days do a Player Of The Year award?

the football budget has the star player of the year & the Bob Shearman medal

leaderboard in this weekends budget

Sam Gray 38
Ben Macreadie 37

Current leaderboard:

Samuel Gray (PA) 38
Ben Macreadie (WA) 37

Mitchell Grigg (NWD) 34
Nathan Gordon (NA) 31
Matthew Thomas (NWD) 30
James Boyd (CD) 29
Christopher Schmidt (WA) 28
Brayden O'Hara (CD) 27
Aidan Riley (ST) 25

Pretty sure the advertiser still have player of the year.

Edit: Bayman beat me to it.

Some numbers for consideration

If a winner was picked right now, I think Port's Sam Gray would be up there...

'My Man Nathan Gordon' has dropped off the last couple of weeks, prior to North's bye...

I think this will be as even a field as we have had in a long time, in terms of favourites...

Wont happen, but I would love to see a non-midfielder win it. Ryan Ferguson, perhaps?

Agree. Ferguson is a big chance but just a solid player nothing flashy. A smart umpire would give him votes.There goes his chance

I would like to see Brad Mangan get a few votes as I think he has been our most consistent IMO. Certainly wont win it though. Won't be anyone from West, umpires don't like us
