The Jar Doesn't Lie, Even When It's Wrong

A Qualitative Interview Study of Spectator Best-on-Ground Voting Across Suburban Football Clubs

A research poster from the School of Emergent Priorities interviews 34 amateur footballers across six suburban clubs on how a spectator ballot-jar Best on Ground vote, introduced only to give the crowd a say in the afternoon, comes to function as an unofficial form guide set against the coach's own technical rating. The University now recommends every club log its jar tally to a published, auditable in-season register alongside the coach's rating, with no discretionary suppression.
