Rory Sloane has soared into the lead of the Crows Fans’ Most Valuable Player award.
Sloane, 27, received a massive 45 per cent of the vote following his best-on-ground performance in Showdown XLII. He now sits 29-points clear of second-placed Rory Laird.
The courageous onballer collected 31 possessions (24 contested), laid nine tackles and won eight clearances to win his first Showdown Medal and help Adelaide record its third-straight victory to start the season.
Captain Taylor Walker was the next-best Crow according to fans in Showdown XLII. Walker attracted 20 per cent of the vote to jump into fifth place overall following his four-goal effort against the Power.
Matt Crouch (eight per cent) and Kyle Hartigan (six per cent) also climbed up the leaderboard after strong Showdown performances.
Ruckman Sam Jacobs slipped to third spot in the overall standings but remains 15-points clear of fourth-placed Rory Atkins.
Fans can login or register here to vote for their three top Crows after every game of the 2017 season.
One lucky participant after each round will claim a signed Hertz Crows football, courtesy of the Club’s official match ball partner, simply by voting.
Polls opens immediately after every Crows game. Users assign three votes to the player they deem Adelaide’s best contributor, two to the second-best and one vote for their third most valuable Crow in each match.
Polling closes on Tuesday at 4.30pm (SA time) after each round when the final votes are collated using a points system.
A maximum of 100 points per game can be awarded to the entire team. Each player is given a percentage of the total votes received to go towards their season tally (For example, if 1,200 votes were placed in Round One and Taylor Walker receives 600 then that is the equivalent of 50 per cent of all votes for that round and he would receive 50 points towards his season tally. If the second best player received 120 votes from 1,200 then that is the equivalent of 10 per cent and he will get 10 votes towards the season tally).
This process is repeated each round and players accumulate points towards their season tally. The player at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the season is crowned the Crows Fans’ MVP.
