Opinion Who will poll the most Brownlow votes for GWS?

[_GT_]

Will it be Mummy, Ward or Smith. Someone else? Hoping a few GWS names get read out for the first time.

Ward very unlucky in round 1 not to get a single vote after winning the Brett Kirk medal for being best on ground

 

[OrangeDuck]

Thinking Ward for most votes (although I tipped Mummy on the GWS facebook status).

We have taken every vote in a game twice already this season. That equals the total from our first two seasons. #irrelevantstatistic

 

[captainMyCaptain]

Not expecting any more votes until rd 11 when we picked ourself off the canvas after falling in a hole mid season

 

[_GT_]

Mummy 6, Ward 4, Treloar 3, Cogs 2 and Hunt 1, after round 6.

Good to see Ward get a BoG in a losing team.

Twice now.

 

[_GT_]

Ward 9, Mummy 6, Treloar 5, Cogs 2, Hunt 1 and Smith 1, after round 12.

 

[captainMyCaptain]

Ward now up to 12 votes and surely on the phone demanding a recount of the kevin sheedy medal

 

[OrangeDuck]

After Round 14, Wardy is tied for second on the points table!

 

[Ellie Aquitaine]

Love seeing Cal on the leaderboard. Brilliant polling.

 

[Andre the Giant]

Tell you what Wardy is going to be v close here. Unbelievable effort in a young team.

How stiff will God be if he doesn't hold on. Hope he hangs on

 

[Ellie Aquitaine]

Cal getting injured in the first half against Melbourne and then not playing in our last two games (two wins and a close one) may allow Mummy to catch up a bit in top polling Giant.

 

[Andre the Giant]

Priddis!! Wow, thought he was better last year but a reward for consistency I guess.

Bit like Diesel in a way. Not quick, flashy, but very consistent ball winner.

Im liking the even balance in the totoal number of Brownlow votes between our initial batch of condittore (Ward, Scully, Davis, Palmer), our draft signings (too many to mention) and our later free agents (Mummy, Shaw)

 

[_GT_]

Well, done Cal and Mummy. Mummy the highest Ruckman I think. Always hard to get votes as a Ruckman.

 

[Ellie Aquitaine]

12 Giants getting votes! Great work guys!

 

[Andre the Giant]

Hoskin-Elliott only got 2 this year.

Many more ahead for this freakish jet!!

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

Least damaging 30+ possession games in the history of the game. Lots of 1-2s going nowhere. Dangerfield, Kennedy, Selwood, all better. There is a reason he's the first brownlow medalist since Woewodin to miss the all-Australian team (it's because he doesn't deserve to be a brownlow medallist.)

Well done to Wardy - and to all the others who polled.

 

[captainMyCaptain]

Very silly comment Priddis was a well deserving winner and his stats show he has had a very consistent year.

 

[captainMyCaptain]

Agree. Its the best and fairest. Umpires up close and personal have voted him to be a very fair player. Comparison to Woewodin is silly. The meeja got it wrong again of course. Personally, Selwood & Hodges blood soaked warrior personas don't do it for me.

Priddis is always solid and is generally West Coast's best midfielder when they win. I agree that he's not the most damaging, but his polling isn't that unexpected - remember he's up against the players in each game to get votes, not against everyone else in the league each round, and West Coast doesn't have a whole lot of stars to take the focus off with Shuey (still) not yet hitting his straps. Not to mention Ablett, Franklin and Fyfe all missing chunks of the season while Priddis was playing and getting votes.

 

[Ellie Aquitaine]

Priddis deserved to poll well for his own performance.

However, given injuries to other likely contenders (such as Ablett and Kennedy) he is probably 2014's Stephen Bradbury.
