What does the GB medal looks like.

Be good to get a photo of it and maybe of Nick collecting it.

Is there a presentation event of it.

Be great if this could be at a pub in Collingwood.

Great job, David

Big congratulations to Nick Daicos for being the 2023 GB Medal winner.

There used to be some interest in the award being an immediate entry on “Married at First Sight” (with a view to boosting our F/S stocks) but I expect that might be frowned upon, now, in some quarters.

Got to get Coxy hooked up … stat.

Should award it at the Copeland before the event in the foyer there at the Palladium

That’d make the rest of the evening an anticlimax.

Thanks for doing the recording and number crunching here David. I like the suggestion of a presentation of the award at a pub and suggest the Birmingham Hotel in Smith St as the venue. Mitch the publican is a big pies fan and has made it a great place to watch games and celebrate wins.
Interesting comparison of the Copeland and Gavin Brown top tens..

Pretty similar spots for each player in each list with notable exceptions…

Coaches recognised Bruzzy’s contributions much more than we did. I suggest a couple of reasons for this.

Each coach has more votes to allocate then we did. Often I couldn’t fit Maynard into the top 5 players but he had a very consistent year and was thereabouts most weeks.

The coaches are also across team systems and specific roles of players more than we are so will consequently reward this more than we do. As an example, I suggest they would rate Billy Frampton’s 2 possession game in the Grand Final much higher than many supporters did because of his work in nullifying his direct opponent Andrews.

We rated De Goey much higher than the coaches did. Not sure why this is the case.

Sidey made our top ten but not the Copeland , largely on the back of a stellar finals series.
