Judd is joined by fellow Blues, Eddie Betts and Andrew Carrazzo who have also been nominated for the prestigious award which recognises qualities such as versatility, ability to perform under pressure, leadership and courage.
Despite Judd’s suspension he is still eligible to win the MVP and join Gary Ablett Jnr as the only other player to win the award three times.
Other awards presented on the night include the Robert Rose Most Courageous Player Award, which Kade Simpson has again been nominated for.
Tom Bell is has also impressed his peers, earning himself a nomination in the Best First Year Player category.
Chris Judd will also try to go back to back in the Best Captain Award category as well.
As in previous years, the MVP voting process begins with each team voting for those three players which provide the best overall value to their own team.
Then, in the second round of voting, all AFL players choose from the list of 51 nominees to determine who will be the MVP (they cannot vote for players from their own team in second round).
The MVP remains the only peer voted award in the AFL industry and is celebrating its 30th year since conception.
The 2012 AFL Players’ Association MVP Award Winners will be announced on Tuesday 11 September at Peninsula, Shed 14 Central Pier, Docklands and will be broadcast exclusively on Fox Footy Channel at 9.30pm.
