VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 2 – Michael Bradley
Highest: 1 Lowest: 8 Average ranking: 2.52 (*Editor’s note: Bradley & Altidore were tied for average ranking score, but Bradley had more Number 1 votes, therefore he’s in second*) Duncan: 3 Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. What to say about Michael Bradley. I really shouldn’t have let myself get stuck with writing this one as it should be full of good...
VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 3 – Jozy Altidore
Highest: 1 Lowest: 5 Average ranking: 2.52 Kristin: 3 – Best. Speech. Everrrrrr. What a way to finish the season! I know that the season finished two days before that, with that thrilling goal that encapsulates Jozy Altidore’s season; a moment where any doubt in fans’ minds about Jozy’s abilities to score, to be a strong presence on the pitch, to come up big when needed was erased. I’ll admit to...
VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 4 – Sebastian Giovinco
Highest: 2 Lowest: 11 Average ranking: 4.12 Mark: 4 – I said on the podcast once that if there’s a single player that I would start any club over with, it’s Sebastian Giovinco. And technically, or statistically he’s not even the highest rated player on the club, but I stand by it. Seba didn’t have the season any of us expected, but then again, most of us expected him to be shattering records and chasing boots of gold, and don’t...
VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 5 – Alex Bono
Highest: 2 Lowest: 8 Average ranking: 5.4 Kristin: 7 – Damn you Bones, you had to go and be good didn’t you? That may seem like an odd sentiment, but if you follow me or listen to the show then you know of my fondness for Clint Irwin (and yes for Q but I gave up that fight) – Irwin is a more than capable MLS keeper and I was thrilled when TFC snatched him away from the Rapids. Similarly I was sad when Irwin was...
VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 6 – Justin Morrow
Highest: 4 Lowest: 10 Average ranking: 6.24 Kristin: 6 – Justin Morrow had a really good year. I know that I’m perceived as biased, but it’s hard to look at that season and not say great things about Morrow (I’m looking at you low rankers). Building off a very good 2016 season, Morrow put that missed PK behind him and excelled. He took to Greg Vanney’s change to the 3-5-2 for most of the season and ran...
VMP Final Countdown 2017: Number 7 – Drew Moor
Highest: 5 Lowest: 14 Average ranking: 9.12 Duncan: 11 – Bit of a rough year for Drew. Finding out about heart issues can’t be a fun time, and when he got back from that, he never quite looked as good as he did before. Looked just a bit slow which left him having to make last ditch tackles, or blocks which is always a dangerous situation for a defender to put himself in and for a while there towards the end of the season...
