Wollacott/Halls Medal

I know this has been discussed ad nauseam during the year but with the dinner coming up this sunday night (which i think was a great idea) has anyone changed their minds on who they think will win both awards. Especially after grand final performances.
well heres my tips:
Halls Medal winner will be Monique Bowley with Cayla Francis as a dark horse.
Wollacot Medal Winner: Cameron Wilson with Brad Sullivan as my dark horse.
Any thoughts on these tips people???

LOL Brad Sullivan .. good player but NO WAY will he get even close . Too many good performances by DIX, and Sutton will steal votes from him too.

Bowley is a good shotin the womens.

Look for Jye Watson and Hambour to poll well with Oscar and Wilson & Puddifoot follwing Dix as the winner .

Cam Wilson for the men

dix but there were others at eagles who would poll well -so just maybe for that reason alone he is not a sure thing. Oscar had a great first half and noone at sturt would have taken votes until the last half of the season when darren played well. Watson.. half a season and reggie takes a few. Woodville players may have had too many sharing the votes. Hambour a chance but north didnt win enough. Easteern no whole season performances spring to my mind.
The womens as wide open as the competition was ...i'm thinking a close finish with many contenders.

Dix to win in an absloute landslide with Oscar, Phillips, Wilson and Jye rounding out the top five.

Darkhorse would have to be Phillips. Every west victory this year has come off the back of his great three point shooting and is definatley one aspect of the game that the referees will notice. rarely argues with officials which will help his cause.

He'll most likely score 3's and 2's for every west win and probably pick up a vote from some losses like woodville and eastern. However, cameo appearnces from nash, truslove and evans (when he shows up to play!) will not help.

Wilson is a good pick but i'm afraid elder, reeves (for one game), birmingaham and reesy will take too many votes away from him.

Jason Dix 2005 Wollacott Winner

I think Puddifoot will poll more votes than Wilson. Dix was really the standout of Forestville while Woodville was more of a team thing (Wilson, Pudds, Tree, Birmingham) so I think Dix will win it easily.

the voting for the medals isn't as simple as 3, 2, 1.

Voters (i think coaches and umpires) get 10 points to allocate how they see fit. With 5 being an performance of international quality, down to five (good game).

Which means team such as Woodville and Forestville in the men won't hurt each others chances as much as a 3, 2, 1 system.

My predictions are Dix and E.Phillips. Followed by Wilson and Francis.

little trevor let me tell you EXACTLY how the medal voting works.
after the games the referees vote in a 3,2,1 format. thats it!!!
that is how the medal winners are determined.
the voting of the coaches is for all star 5 ONLY!!!
i also think too many people are giving credence to "sully" not getting too many votes.
of the f/ville mens games i have ssen this year, jason dix has had his normal consistent season but brad sullivan (in the absence of brenton campbell) has ripped it up big time. and because he has had some awesome shooting games, i'm sure the referee's will have noticed this more.
once again little trevor the medal winners are decided by referee votes and not coaches.

my apologies, i just assumed the coaches voting system was the same as the refs. My bad. Guess F/ville and W/ville may take votes off each other...

perhaps Oscar could be firming as a favourite (taking the entire season into account).

As the halfway point i thought it was a 2-horse race between Watson and Forman, however both missed games towards the end.
