Every AFL news entity votes on and assesses performance in a slightly different way, but for the most part the same names make up the top two or three. To get an idea of which players have performed best in 2011, we’ve bought together a range of media perspectives.
 
An assigned journalist votes for their 5 best on ground. A total of 5 players receive votes, but the journalist can decide how many votes each of the top 5 receive. Typically the player judged best on ground receives 8 or 9 votes and the 5th best on ground receives 7. The maximum number of votes a player can receive is 10.

The ABC Grandstand commentary team votes for their 3 best on ground. 3 votes for best on ground. 1 vote for the 3rd best on ground. The maximum number of votes a player can receive is 3.

An assigned journalist votes for their 5 best on ground. 5 votes for best of ground. 1 vote for the 5th best on ground. The maximum number of votes a player can receive is 5.
 
Each coach votes for their 5 best on ground. 5 votes for best of ground. 1 vote for 5th best on ground. The votes of each coach are then added together. The maximum number of votes a player can receive is 10.
