[tangolikelama]

Robbie pls

 

[I am Jack]

I don't even think Pendelbury has even had that good a year.
Be surprised if he even finishes ahead of Beams.
Ablett wins for mine, too many clear 3's - and also games where he should get some 2's.

 

[Underarm]

In every award he's been run over. I think that trend will continue

 

[Power Raid]

could this year by an opportunity for a forward to claim the award with no real stand out midfielder?

franklin stands out more than ever

 

[BG32]

Josh Kennedy
or
Lance Franklin

 

[JohnnyDrama1]

Josh Kennedy
or
Lance Franklin

Kennedy for me

 

[ep2018]

Matt Priddis, foir the meltdown.

 

[shaqsuns]

Gaz, selwood, Kennedy tie on 26 votes

 

[thetradesman]

Gray to win it.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Tipped Lance Franklin. From week one the umpires would have been looking at him (just like the rest of us) so he will easily pick up cheap 1 voters here and there. And add that one top of the huge bags he has kicked nearly every week where he will pick up 2s and 3s. He will be as loved by the umpires for votes this season as Chris Judd used to be.

 

[lmach]

Priddis by about 33 votes.

 

[Lemma]

Hope Selwood wins it. Gun.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Hope Selwood wins it. Gun.

Would you have said that a week ago?

 

[Lemma]

Would you have said that a week ago?

Haha I did rate him before, but yeh respect gone up for him definitely. He was unlucky last year also

 

[BG32]

Priddis by about 33 votes.

Nathan Jones will poll more than Prius

 

[lmach]

Nathan Jones will poll more than Prius

 

[EdgeOfReason]

Hoping for Gray to win which will give me a great 40th birthday present on Monday (and I know where peoples' minds are likely to travel on that one. lol.), but wouldn't be surprised if Ablett gets it again, even though he only played about 15 games. The guy's an absolute freak of nature.

 

[The GOAT]

Ablett deserves it

 

[longsuffreosupp]

Heppell for the smokey

 

[Hank Scorpion]

Can't see any player getting more than 24 votes, which leaves the door ajar for a smokey to snatch it.

1. Selwood & Fyfe
2. Ablett
3. Kennedy

is my pick

 

[Forward Press]

could this year by an opportunity for a forward to claim the award with no real stand out midfielder?

franklin stands out more than ever

I know that the 'teammates stealing votes' argument is often disproven but he's competing with votes against JPK and co. The Sydney 2014 team will get a lot of votes after Round 5ish but will the majority of them go to a key forward? Last one to win still remains Plugger two decades ago.

 

[whattagun07]

I think Selwood will win. I put a few dollars on Gray @$34 just before round 22, I'm thinking he'll only just make top 5 though, not enough form in previous years

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Kennedy for me

 

[GOAUS!]

I think Selwood will win. I put a few dollars on Gray @$34 just before round 22, I'm thinking he'll only just make top 5 though, not enough form in previous years

The main question I have with Gray is this, how long before the umpires notice him? It can take a while sometimes.
