VOTE each week for best on ground in the Troy Luff Medal (TLM) - late starters ok

[Danzar]

The annual Troy Luff Medal is the RWO fan vote for the Sydney Swans' best and fairest. Please us this thread to vote each week. To cast your vote, click on the link in the nav above or click here.

Some history on the award:
In 2002, the Troy Luff Medal began informally, with people nominating their top 3 or 5 players each week after the match. The idea grew more and more popular and it was decided to instigate the fans� Best and Fairest award.

The winners of the Troy Luff Medal have also been the Swans Best and Fairest winners up until 2007, and have consistently polled well in media awards and the Brownlow Medal, some even winning it.

The organisers decided to name the award the Troy Luff Medal in recognition of Troy�s service to the Club and his support for the RWO - RedAndWhiteOnline.com website and because of his 110% effort always when playing for the Swans.

The award is for the best player throughout the year, as judged by those fans who participate in the RWO - RedAndWhiteOnline.com community. Each week, fans awarded 3, 2, 1 votes. These votes are tallied and points allocated to the top 5 players each week.

Voting is secret. The top five players in contention are revealed each week with the number of votes for each unknown (players are listed in surname order). The overall winner is revealed at the end of the season.

The winner receives a presentation of the years voting.

To ensure a representative award, it is important that as many people as possible vote consistently every week. If you miss a round, it won't taint your vote, but it will reduce its impact for that round. Round by round summaries below.

You don't have to be in it from Round One either.

Alrighty, excuse the delay this week. I ended up missing the game and had to wait until I watched the replay.

Round 10 had 36 members voting, with ten players polling. It's no surprise that Mitchell secured BoG and storms back into the leaderboard, replacing Isaac Heeney.
