Geelong Cats

'Carji' Greeves Medal 
How they vote: After each game the senior coach, director of coaching and assistant coaches rate each player in the team's performance out of 15. The combined votes are then averaged to give a final score for that game. To ensure players aren't disadvantaged by injuries or being managed, each player's highest scoring 21 games of the season are added together to give a final score for 2016. Therefore, if a player plays 24 games, his three lowest-scoring games will be eliminated from the total.
