All three players have enjoyed a stellar 2012 and will be strongly considered for All-Australian selection and Cotchin is expected feature prominently on Brownlow Medal night.
Maric’s nomination is just reward for an outstanding season, after crossing from the Crows during the 2011 trade period.
The debut season of mature aged recruit Steven Morris hasn’t gone unnoticed by his teammates, who have nominated him for both the Best First Year Player and Robert Rose Most Courageous Player awards.
As in previous years, the MVP voting process begins with each team voting for those three players which provide the best overall value to their own team.
Then, in the second round of voting, all AFL players choose from the list of 51 nominees to determine who will be the MVP (they cannot vote for players from their own team in the second round).
The MVP remains the only peer voted award in the AFL industry and is celebrating its 30th year since conception.
The 2012 AFL Players’ Association MVP Award Winners will be announced on Tuesday 11 September at Peninsula, Docklands, and will be broadcast exclusively on Fox Footy Channel at 9.30pm.
