Voting is now open for the penultimate round of this year’s Hertz Fans’ Most Valuable Player award.

It’s down to a race of two for this season’s title between reigning winner Rory Sloane and much-improved midfielder Matt Crouch.

The pair will again poll strongly after Friday night’s impressive Preliminary Final win over Geelong at Adelaide Oval.

Sloane threw himself into the contest to collect 20 possessions, including 12 contested, and an equal-game high eight clearances.

Crouch was again prolific with 31 touches, seven marks, six clearances and a goal as he looks to close Sloane’s 33-vote advantage over the final two games.

Milestone man Rory Laird starred across half-back, particularly in the opening half, with a team-high 32 disposals at 91 per cent efficiency. The former rookie has all-but locked away third spot in this year’s Hertz MVP battle with 247 votes overall.

Charlie Cameron could prove a popular vote-getter following his career-best five-goal haul against the Cats, while Paul Seedsman, Brad Crouch and Tom Lynch also enjoyed strong games.

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.
