Round 6 COWELL STEALS
LEAD
EAST Perth’s
midfielder Brent Cowell has stolen the lead in the voting for the Football
Budget’s prestigious Player-of-the-Year Award.
Cowell picked up
top votes in the Royals’ win over Perth, while his closest rival, Shane Beros,
collected one vote to take outright second place.
The voting system
for this award is the same as last season, with football journalists voting on
a 3-2-1
basis for each game.
The winner of the
award will be deemed the fairest and best player, with any player who has been
suspended by the tribunal during the season ineligible for the award. The
winner will receive a generous prize.
The presentation
of the award will be conducted at an end of season function hosted by Football
Budget publisher Wright Media.
