It is a "most courageous" medal and not best on ground. On song might be able to say who selects it.
The umpires pick it and maybe they felt Josh was best on ground. He played well. Maybe not BOG but that's subjective. The players named in the Eagles' top six were who the coach and assistants felt were their best contributors, although in a good win, you're always going to have more than six good performers.
Josh, modest as the young fella is, was a bit surprised to win it but good luck to the lad.
Nathan Greenshields won it last year and got three votes for the match, which suggests to me it's not about courage and more about overall performance.
Thanks OS.. Was just curious
