2015 Brownlow Medal

[BoxMatrix]

Lewis has got 35 and 34 disposals in his first two games though not running at a great DE%. Likely won't get any votes from Sunday's game either.

Still, umpires love disposal numbers and he's our main midfielder these days.

Because of Hawthorn's poor game on the weekend, it is unlikely that the umpires will award votes to any Hawthorn players. It always seems to be that if a team dominates for three quarters (and wins) that team will receive all the votes.

Yeah I agree, said he'd be unlikely from Sunday's game. If he can continue to pump out those kind of numbers he will pick up quite a few votes in games we do win.

 

[billy fragos]

Over the last 3 years danger has had 28+ disposals 21 times polling votes in 20 of those games.

The only no vote game came in the round 20 2012 upset loss to brisbane.

From an odds point of view, Bontempelli was @ $500 preseason, @ $150 after the NAB challenge (where I put a few sneaky $$$ on him) and is now @ $26.
Plays an eye catching game right underneath the umpires noses and has been instrumental in our two wins so far.

Only Fyfe can stop Fyfe from here. He's set for a big, big year.

And apparently didn't train today and had a compression bandage on his calf

I'm pretty sure that was only a knock rather than a strain so hopefully he'll be available this weekend. Looking forward to us playing the Bullies.

Ever since umpires got the stats after a game it seems that only stats matter these days

A knock can make a young player miss a week though , no use of risking him

Not like the Robert Klomp days when you could get bog with 9 possessions!

 

[Furn2]

Surely the umps don't get the stats ????

He's gonna get suspended like always.

 

[Peter Bosustow]

Scott Pendlebury or Josh P. Kennedy could push Fyfe.

- No Beams/Swan pinching votes off Pendles. If they win at least 10 games and Pendles ups his output from the first two rounds by ~15%, he is great value today at $18. Could get the Brownlow he deserves in circumstances similar to Jobe in 2012, Priddis last year and arguably Judd in 2010.
- JPK is the mother hen of the Sydney mids, right under the umpires noses, polled quite well last year, good side etc.

Mack the Knife's to lose.

As much as we need the win Id prefer to watch him play than make our chances better by not.

Yep they do now.... I originally thought stupid and then I thought umps these days know f all about footy itself so at least stats say something

Would have been good if he did it last week before he tears us up on Sunday.

 

[billy fragos]

Fyfe's odds are shortening quickly, now $3.75 well ahead of next favourite dangerfield $8.00 and Gray $14.00.

What about Priddis?

 

[ManOfClay]

Backing Mitchy Wallis. Looks like a young Priddis but has the added bonus of kicking goals.

 

[Donakebab]

Under the revised MRP guidelines he won't.

The second report he received last year would, and his record doesn't help him.

 

[The King!]

Goodesy

Except record doesn't matter anymore. Might want to actually read the new rules before commenting on them.

Sorry if I'm missing a major rule, but didn't Ballentyne's poor record increase his suspension?
