The MVP voting is a two-stage process, beginning with each player voting for the three teammates he considers to have been the most valuable this season.
Each club’s votes are then tallied to form a nomination list comprising 54 players across the 18 teams.
In the second round of voting, all AFL players vote for their MVP on a 3, 2, 1 basis from the nominees of the 17 other clubs.
