At the end of each match for the AFLM team, we post the MVP voting thread, for users to pick their 3 best players on the field.
We also ask for you to pick the Tyson Edwards Quiet Achiever for the game, the TEQA, for the players you felt did their job well and ably but couldn't justify putting in your top 3.
#Why Tyson Edwards?
Tyson played 321 career AFL matches, all for the Adelaide Crows. He was an integral part of 3 of the best midfield units we've ever produced across his 15 years. 307 of those matches he played alongside Andrew McLeod, an AFL record that stands to this day.
An elite ball user, tackler, and handy shot on goal, Edwards' ability to read the play and anticipate where the ball will be or should go put him right where he needed to be, day in, day out. He was reliable, dangerous and sensational.
He's 6th on our all time Brownlow career votes ladder.
No All Australians, no Club Gold Jacket despite finishing in the top five for 8 seasons in a row and the top 3 3 times.
His only accolades are his back to back premiership medals and a single Showdown Medal.
It was a crime how often Tyson was snubbed. So the TEQA was born of that, and maybe a little cheeky. Recognition for a job well done.
Hi all, I applied for this award a couple of months ago and I just got informed today that I have an interview for it. Has anyone applied for this award in previous years? Also, does anyone know how an interview for an award like this is structured? I want to spend my time preparing relevant content only! Thanks in advance.
Does anyone know when will the top in the world / country be announced for each subject?

A stunning year for the young man, Reilly O'Brien epitomises the drive, determination and passion for the tricolour that a rebuilding side is so eager to have.

This might be the rum or the wine speaking but I'm out.
This is someone else's job now.
321 and don't forget the TEQA.
and i am sure there are those of you reading this now that gets stuff done or knows someone who does. i love doing stuff stoned. One of my favorite things a couple of years ago was getting high in the summer time at night, and then sit on a big floor cushion and carve designs using chisels into the kitchen table, and i would listen to this 10 hour Indian sitar music i have. its was great, life is great.
Muslims have the Holy Month of Ramadan each year. His boss wanted him to know that he knows, but did a cute and terrible job expressing it.
Have fun!
