Carlton’s finest player will tonight be honoured with the Club’s highest individual accolade – the 2017 John Nicholls Medal at Crown Palladium, presented by Hyundai.

A new round-by-round voting system introduced last year will again be used to determine the winner of the prestigious award.

Here are the details:

Four coaches (senior coach and three line coaches) have the opportunity to vote for as many players as they feel warrant a vote for each game on the following scale:

4 votes – outstanding performance

3 votes – excellent performance

2 votes – above expectation performance

1 vote – expected performance (trademark game)

A player therefore can receive a maximum of four votes from four coaches giving a maximum of 16 possible votes each round.
