Rory Laird‘s break-out season continues to be recognised by the fans, who awarded the small defender the most MVP votes from round 17.

Laird is now in third position overall, behind clear leader Patrick Dangerfield and Scott Thompson.

Young Crows Jake Lever and Charlie Cameron were also among the votes in the win over the Suns.

Voting is now open for round 18 versus Sydney.

Log in (or if it’s your first time – register) 

Assign three votes to the player you deem to be the best Crows player, two votes to the second best player and one vote to the third best. Just click on the little plus sign next to the player image.


At the end of the voting period (when the next Crows game starts) all the votes are added up but there are now a maximum of 100 points per game that can be awarded to the entire team.

Each player is then given a percentage of the total votes received to go towards their season tally.
