GB votes - Pies v. Roos (3,2,1)

[Tannin]

Donny, I actually don't much mind if we use 3-2-1 or 5-4-3-2-1, or even something more innovative like "10 votes, give them any way you like".

But I clearly remember a thread last year where votes were called for and the vast majority of Nicksters voted to use 5-4-3-2-1. It was a longish thread, as I recall, and lots of participation in it. It wasn't my thread, and I didn't especially care about the result, it just seems unfair to have an open poll, get a clear result, and then simply ignore it.

Now there are three possibilities:

1: that thread exists and provides clear evidence that we should be using 5-4-3-2-1.

2: that thread has been deleted (but why?)

3: I have completely lost the plot.

Note that these are not mutually exclusive.

I haven't really been reading General Discussion much this year, so missed these discussions.

Like Tannin, I don't have the thread on hand, but I'm not sure that there was ever anything close to consensus on the 5-4-3-2-1 proposition. In fact, I think there have been numerous polls on this in the past and the status quo was generally backed. Even so, it ought to be a democratic decision, and I'm not sure that Johnson #26, I or any other individual should be making that call. I think it's something that can and should only be decided by the Nick's community.

By the way, now is probably a good time to note that I'm probably not going to be able to count the votes this year. I've really enjoyed doing it over the past four years, but I just have far too many time commitments in 2011. I'm not holding my breath, but I hope that someone with better organising skills than myself is able to make this award a physically manifest entity in the future.

Cheers,
David

Travis Cloke, Dayne Beams, Sharrod Wellingham and Steele Sidebottom all come very close as well.

I reckon Krakouer would have been in the top 5 had he played the whole match.
