Archie Thompson and Rodrigo Vargas were announced as co-winners of the Victory Medal last night.

Kevin Muscat and Michael Theoklitos were joint runners-up, with Carlos Hernández trailing a point behind.

Both Thompson and Vargas picked up other awards as well, with Thompson receiving the SEN Player of the Year award and Vargas voted Players’ Player of the Year. Leigh Broxham also won multiple awards, scoring both the Clubman of the Year and the Age Young Player of the Year awards.

None of the results particularly surprise me, even though they are quite different from the Fans’ Choice Melbourne Victory Awards we hosted on MVFC Blog a month ago. Fans picked Michael Theoklitos for Best Player and Sebastian Ryall for Best Young Player (Leigh Broxham was a very distant third in that contest).

What do you think of the results of the Victory Awards?

As I foreshadowed a couple weeks ago, we figured it would be cool to follow up the A-League awards with another set of awards, just for the Melbourne Victory.

And here they are: the Melbourne Victory Awards.

There are three categories to vote for:

• Best Melbourne Victory Player
• Best Young Melbourne Victory Player
• Best New Recruit

Voting is open now and will close this Friday morning at 10:00 am.

Who was the best Melbourne Victory player this season?

We’ve had so much fun running the A-League Awards that we decided to follow it up with a Melbourne Victory Awards.

But we need your help. Most of the categories are fairly straightforward, but there’s one that we need help deciding on: the Best MVFC Player of 2007/08. We need to whittle a handful of nominees out of the 23 possibilities – and we’d like your help deciding which players should be nominated.

To nominate players, all you have to do is leave a comment after this post listing the players you think deserve to be nominated. List as many as you’d like, but make sure your list is ranked.

Here’s my picks to get the ball rolling:

1. Rodrigo Vargas
2. Michael Theoklitos
3. Archie Thompson
4. Carlos Hernández
5. Daniel Vasilevski

Over to you: Who were the best Melbourne Victory players this season?
