Wellington Phoenix need help selecting their player of the year

For the second season in succession the Wellington Phoenix are in contention for the A-League play offs. This has been a huge effort from the squad of 2010-11 and they want members to vote for the player they believe has been the best this season.
The Members' Player of the Year will be announced at the Phoenix's end of year awards on February 22. All members who vote are eligible to win one of five double invites to the awards night.

Please note that you must be a 10-11 Season Member to vote. Only one vote per membership is allowed but for members who have multiple memberships against a single membership number, then one vote per member allocated to that membership number is allowed. Voting closes Friday February 18 at 5pm.

For more info see the Phoenix site.
