The double ton for Clarry! It was 84 more points than Nic Nat who also got 3... so pretty inefficient really.

Bont also moves to double digits, with Grundy and Macrae firmly in the race.

WXV Rising Star

Last year was the most divided Rising Star count we've ever had - but this one wasn't far behind!

It was out of two young gun midfielders whom averaged about the same - but one in particular started the year on FIRE with two 130+ scores which got him over the line.

Congratulations to Errol Gulden (Moscow)!

Errol edged out Tom Green by 4 votes, and denied Buenos Aires taking out consecutive Rising Star winners after Serong shared the honour with Rowell last year.

In previous years, the All-Worlds team was put to vote by the community. However, this year I have determined the All-Worlds team because its kinda clear for the most part, except for the bottom 5 players or so.

To qualify for the All-Worlds team, you'd have needed to play at least 12 senior games. The following analysis has been done from the 17 H&A season rounds, inclusive of reserves scores (this is consistent with previous years).

Defenders
I produced a rank for each defender according to the total points they scored compared to all other defenders (rank 'X'). Separately, I produced a rank for each defender according to their average points per game (rank 'Y').

I multiplied X and Y together, to produce Z. I then sorted 'Z' by smallest to largest. The top 4 defenders made the All-Worlds team.

For example, Shannon Hurn had the 2nd highest average for all defenders. X = 2.
But, he had the 8th highest total points scored. Y = 8.
Z = 2 x 8 = 16

16 was the 3rd lowest score, meaning he is named as D3.

This method thus takes into account both games played and points per game.

Midfielders, Rucks and Forwards
See 'Defenders'

Utilities
See 'Defenders', except all players are compared to each other regardless of position.

Captain & Vice Captain
Were those with the best overall ranking. Don't worry, this was clear no matter what angle you cut it.
