How is the Dally M Medal determined?

The Dally M Medal has seen a mass overhaul this year, with two judges picking for each game instead of one as had previously been the case.

Both judges award votes for each game on a 3-2-1 basis and the player with the most votes at the end of the regular season takes out the award.

Any player suspended during the season will receive a six-vote penalty for their first week suspended, and an outright barring from winning any award with any further weeks suspended.

The teams of the year are elected by votes held at regular intervals and again at the end of the year by a panel of judges, while any player in the top 3 of the Dally M count will be included in their respective position if available.
