Brownlow is overrated and overvalued. Would you rather win an award where you're regarded the mvp by your peers or win an award where the umpires decide who's the best? Brownlow is a midfielders award these days too, the award means zilch to me. The amount of times good players have gotten votes when they shouldn't of is ridiculous. That's my two cents on the blind freddy midfielders award.

 

[PeelnThunder]

Fyfe
Hill
Sandilands
Ballantyne
Neale

 

[Seppo]

Think Fyfe may end up sneaking 2-3 votes short of the eventual winner. Could end up on 19-20 votes.

We gave Fyfe BOG in our own board votes:
R5 - Loss to Syd
R6 - Loss to Norf
R8 - Loss to Port
R14 - Win against Bris
R16 - Win against Eagles
R19 - Win against Carlton

And 4 other games he came in 2nd closely behind other players like Neale and Ballas.

I am actually curious to see how many votes Lachie Neale gets this year. From memory he had 2 Best on games worthy of 3 votes from the umpires.

 

[calaisking]

Barlow should poll well also, probably behind Fyfe and Sandi for third

 

[beetz]

I jumped on Sandi at $21 to be leading after round 4.

 

[jmadrox]

I actually think Lachie will get quite a few. I reckon 9 - 12. 2 games he should get 3, and then a few other over the course should have him pushing double digits.

 

[clivenator26]

I am on Hill to lead out votes (Fyfe excluded) at Sprots bet, was $5 and now $8, I think he could poll in 9 games with 4 games I think he should have 2-3. So much is luck and he hasn't polled well traditionally (4 votes is the most ever) but he has had more of the ball this year and kicked more goals including a few games where he got multiples, plus he gets a lot of the ball on the outside which you'd think stands out.

 

[Seppo]

So according to the AFL Brownlow predictor our club will go:
Fyfe* 17
Hill 12
Sandilands 11
Neale 10
Ballas* 10
Mundy* 9
Barlow 9
Pav 5
Spurr 3
McPharlin 3
Zarke* 2

 

[StingBitten]

Think Fyfe, Sandi and Barlow are our best bets for the midfield medal.

Don't discount Lachie and Ballas though either.

 

[beetz]

So according to the AFL Brownlow predictor our club will go:
Fyfe* 17
Hill 12
Sandilands 11
Neale 10
Ballas* 10
Mundy* 9
Barlow 9
Pav 5
Spurr 3
McPharlin 3
Zarke* 2

Not bad - 91 votes with Fyfe possibly missing out on another 5-6 due to his 4 games off.

Record by a team is 116 by Essendon in 2000.

 

[valkorum]

Apparently Fyfe hasn't flown to Melbourne for the count.

 

[calaisking]

I jumped on Sandi at $21 to be leading after round 4.

Same here, he started well and the bet on Sportsbet has it listed as " Leader after Round 4, not including Joel Selwood"

In with a chance I think

 

[jmadrox]

Apparently Fyfe hasn't flown to Melbourne for the count.

apparently he doesn't care for individual accolades. Future Captain. (or sulking)

 

[clivenator26]

Apparently Fyfe hasn't flown to Melbourne for the count.

I don't think suspended players are ever invited anyway.

 

[estibador]

Smart move either way. 7 would just spend the whole night with a camera in his face waiting for a reaction every time he polls so they can turn it into a soapie.

Good call.


I really really really do hope he DOES NOT get the most votes.

 

[Seppo]

This WA based statistician has Fyfe behind GAJ for the brownlow! He has an extremly good rate at prediciting the winner with his model.

[Righteo]

Fyfe
Barlow
Sandi
Hill
Ballas

 

[The Anchorite]

Fyfe
Sandilands
Neale
Hill
Ballantyne

 

[Allikat]

Fyfe wasn't invited because suspended players aren't. Why would he want to go to this anyway?

I think our top 4:
*Fyfe
Neale
Hill
Sandi

 

[Righteo]

Have our boys actually ever flown over, or West Coast players for that matter? From memory we always hold the Brownlow night here?

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Neale will poll well he has had some outstanding games.

Fyfe
Sandi
Hill
Neale

I also think Barlow would have had polled well but his injury early on set him back.

Thought they normally do fly over. Only reason they didn't last year was because of the GF preparations
