Needs it's own thread, IMO. My count so far. Have Selwood on 11 well ahead but that could change when I rewatch the match. Code: Round 1 Coll v Freo 3 - M. Johnson 2 - N. Fyfe 1 - S.

Who is 'he'? yeah I was tempted to bring stokes in. didn't like stevie j's game too much tonight but the umps sometimes favour quantity over quality.
I wouldn't have had Bartel in there either. I haven't seen the stats but it looked to me that Selwood was easily best on, followed by Stokes and then Guthrie or someone. Not a proven polled though, so can understand Johnson (who I reckon would've had it 35 times) even though he turned it over a heap.
Yeah 37 touches tonnes of marks and like 8 tackles Was only half watching the game so ill amend my votes when I rewatch it
Nathan Jones should be at 3 by your count. Good to see some interest in this, I won't watch all the matches but might have a punt based on other people's opinions at the end of the year.
Added in my votes from today's game. Will rewatch by tues/weds and look for them though so they're likely to change.
Good spot btw. Changed. I've ended up in the green 5 years straight, '11/12 doubled my cash and added about 30-40% last year. Don't get as much return on my dollar as I do on proper footy but I enjoy the brownlow betting more. What throws me is that some umpires love rewarded exceptional defensive performances (i.e. shutting down a gun fwd/tagging a bloke out) and others never do. Never know when it'll happen which messes with my votes.
I also do a rising star thing through the year for any interested which I'll keep in here. Give them a score out of 20 (mainly consider offensive performance unless they're a lockdown defender/there's a relevant defensive aspect to consider) and try and consider whether they were subbed or injured. I don't tally scores to work out a winner as it's not a comp won by who wins the most games but I do look at their average points and whether they've played a reasonable sample of games. Code: Name Round 1 2 3 4 Tom Langdon 14 8 12 8 Lachie Hunter 16 11 10 10 Mitch Grigg 11 8 7 - Luke Dunstan 16* 9 19 9 Josh Saunders 12 7 6 11s James Aish 9 13 13 13 Brodie Grundy 11 13 6 5 Luke McDonald 7 14 15 14 Martin Gleeson 10 11 8s 18 Jon Patton 14 5 10 12 Harry Cunningham 9 10 12 7 Sean Lemmens 7 7 13 6 Jarman Impey 7 7 6 8 Marco Paparone 9 7 12 7 Sam Frost 12 10 8 11 Joe Daniher 12 8 12 12 Eli Templeton 6 12 10 7 Jake Stringer 6 6 6 5 Clay Cameron 12 13 11 10 Jay Kennedy-Harris 8s 7s 6s 8 Jack Billings 6s - - - Dom Sheed 5s - - 9 Lewis Taylor 5s 12 9 12 Troy Menzel 5s 11 11 5s Nathan Wright 6 10 12 5s Kade Kolodjashnij - 8 10 11 Dylan Buckley - 15* 7 8 Lin Jong - 7 6 8 Josh Kelly - 13s 16* 13 Lachie Plowman - 7 11 13 Matt Crouch - - 9s 14 Jason Ashby - - 7 12 Brant Colledge - - 7 6 Matt Taberner - - - 11 Jackson Paine - - - 8 Tom Cutler - - - 8s Liam Sumner - - - 5 Billy Longer - - - 8 Matt Arnot - - - 13s Nick Graham - - - 12s Josh Simpson - - - 11s Nick Robertson - - - 10 Patrick Cripps - - - 13 Right now the lead is Dunstan: 53 McDonald: 50 Aish: 48 Hunter: 47 Gleeson: 47 (will 100% be nommed this week) Cameron: 46 Daniher: 44 Langdon: 42 Kelly: 42 (3 games) Patton: 41 Frost: 41 Cunningham: 39 Taylor: 38 Saunders: 36 Grundy: 35 Plowman: 31 (3 games) Buckley: 30 (3 games) Kolodjashnij: 29 (3 games) And IMO the top few will be 1. Kelly 2. Dunstan 3. Hunter 4. Daniher 5. McDonald 6. Gleeson 7. Cameron 8. Patton 9. Aish 10. Grundy Providing all are nommed.
Brownlow Medal race is really open now with Ablett out for the rest of the season. Does he have enough votes to hold on??
a few years ago when the avg votes was like 18-22 the yeah but now given you need >30 to be safe I reckon he's not. Pretty hard to get >30 votes in 16 games or so
I saw a stat on Twitter before about Jobe Watson having 26 votes after 13 games in 2012 and had he not polled again he would have tied. Gaz would probably be on between about 23-25 so yeah probably not enough going by the last few years but you never know though
