Brownlow Medal winner?

Question

Everyone is saying that it will be one of the Gelong boys

that win charlie

My own thoughts on it is that the Gelong boys

will be taking votes off each other,

- as they have several stand out players-

and this will allow some of the "dark horses" from teams like the Hawks, Bulldogs, etc to poll better. and possibly cause an upset

What are your thoughts?

Answer 1

I think Brent Harvey

He came 2nd last year

Answer 2

Exactly my thoughts. The Geelong team is so good that they will all take votes off each other! However, I think that Ablett or Bartel can still win it, Bartel did last year in a team that was just as good.

Answer 3

harvey doesn't poll in enough games to win.

i don't think he will win but keep an eye on brett kirk for a top 3 place possibly.

Answer 4

It will be a Essendon player  Welsh ~~~~

Answer 5

My thoughts too. Geelong has to many good players, so votes are split amoungst them.

My dark horse is Brent Harvey from North Melbourne. Great season so far.

Answer 6

Actually I was thinking the same too.  There are so many great players at Geelong that the points would definitely be shared around.

I have a feeling Buddy will poll well as will Johnson and might just sneak in and win.

Could also have a suprise winner - Dane Swan of Collingwood was at one stage a close 2nd last year and shocked everyone!  The producers were scrambling around Melb trying to find him incase he won..lol

Answer 7

Unsure now on the winner, i know Richo will get a few votes, umps love him for some reason, harvey gobs off apparently but he still gets votes, Ablett will of had plenty up his sleeve when he got injured, Bartell is killing them, Kane Cornes is having a great year too, plenty of the ball.

Who  ever is doing Supercoach and Dreamteam would know that Brett Deledio is having a top year too, he won't win it though, Dane Swan gets it too. You would have to think Buddy would also get votes as will Sam Mitchell,  because of Abletts injury it is wide open, with several suspensions to change the outcome.

I think i'd still go with ablett, he would of had 26-27 votes when he got injured, he played last week, and has 3 more to get over 30, if he does, no one will get him, I backed Richo after round 2-3 at $23  I think, also a place at $6.50 so i'm hoping the big fella fires up for the last 3 games.

If your line of thought was correct mate, Bartell wouldn't of won last year. re- your thinking that geelong boys will take them off each other.

( star for you knackers).Oh yeah,  don't be a woose, wack some lettuce on ya cheese and vegemite sanger, it's a crunchy sanger then, lettuce has no taste and is made up of water so it won't hurt ya, get into it.

Answer 8

Good point. But im hoping jimmy or gary will get it. If your theory proves accurate i think harvey will be right up there. Will be interesting.  

Answer 9

After a few games of the season people were asking questions in here whether Jason Ackermanis would win another Brownlow this ear. Now he is battling to get a kick - so that line of thought has gone out the window.

Judd played some good games - & he was touted as being in with a show.

Franklin kicked a few goals & the same was said about him.

Then Jimmy Bartels.

Then the same about Brent Harvey.....Whoever is running hot at the moment, people say will win it.

I think Gary Ablett.

Answer 10

JIMMY BARTEL 4 BROWLOW! :D  

Answer 11

Ablett or Bartels.

The umpires wont look past them, regardless of how they have played.

Answer 12

I take your point, but lets say that in every Geelong win the geelong boys are getting the 1, 2, and 3

Lets say Bartell, Ablett, Corey, Milburn and Selwood hog the votes for the cats at a guess lets say thats 96 votes between 5 players.

that could mean after 19 rounds they have 5 players between 15 - 19 votes with 3 rounds to go. After saying that i do tend to agree but it happened last season and Jimmy still got the medal.

I personally think that Corey will poll well as will Cooney, Harvey, and 2 outsiders from Adelaide Bock and Thompson. Buddy will poll ok and Richo after the move to the wing. From a hawks point of view guys like Mitchell, Hodge, and Franklin will do well, but they have all been suspended this season.

Corey, Cooney, Bartell, Ablett, Harvey, Bock, Thompson, Okeefe, J. Brown, Kirk, Swan, and Mitchell should all poll well.

Answer 13

Is Harvey a dark horse? He's currently favourite I think. I still think a Geelong boy will win it, but wouldn't mind a Cooney, Hodge or Kirk being up there.

Answer 14

Gary Ablett jnr

or the underdog  NICK REIWOLTD

Answer 15

whoever is first to announce that he's signed to the Gold Coast! LOL

I think it will be Bartel, Mitchell, Cooney or Harvey of the Kangas.
