Re: The 2008 Punt Road End Player of the Year Awards Thread
Well its time to have a look at the breakdown of the votes in the 2008 PRE Player of the Year Awards.
Over the 22 rounds of the season the PRE Player of the Year had 1365 ballots (up from 1281 in 2007) cast from 159 members (down from 189 in 2007).
First of all recognition of those PRE members who voted in every round of the 2008 season:

Now, some definitions to clarify all of the categories listed:
Total Votes The total number of votes accrued throughout the 2008 season (2007 also shown).
Rounds Played The number of games played in the 2008 season (2007 also shown).
2007 Position The players position in 2007 PRE Player of the Year polls (change)
Average Votes/Round Total votes accrued / total games played
Highest Ranking (Round(s)) The highest ranking achieved and the round(s) that ranking was held.
Best Round (Votes) The round in which the player obtained the highest number of votes, which opponent the Tigers played in that round and the number of votes obtained.
Normalised Score (Rank) A score that normalises the votes to take out the ‘number of voters’ factor. This scoring system prevents players obtaining votes in ‘popular’ weeks from gaining an advantage. This is not official and just for your information. Theoretical maximum score is 100.
Richmond ‘Brownlow’ Votes (Ranking) This is also unofficial and for your information. It consists of a 3-2-1 voting system each week. This ranking tends to benefit players who are consistently in the top 3 players of the week.
Most Votes From The PRE member(s) who supplied the player with the most votes and how many.
Now without further ado, let the 2008 countdown commence:
