The breakdown this week:

10 – Rory Sloane (Adelaide)
8 – Eddie Betts (Adelaide)
4 – Rory Laird (Adelaide)
3 – Tom Lynch (Adelaide)
3 – Matt Priddis (West Coast)
2 – Sam Jacobs (Adelaide)

Sloane: 10 = 5+5
Betts: 8 = 4+4
Laird: 4 = 3+1 or 2+2
Lynch: 3 = 2+1 or 3+0
Priddis: 3 = 3+0 or 2+1
Jacobs: 2 = 2 or 1 + 1

**Updated thanks to Elder van Berlo**

With Sloane and Betts getting the 5's and the 4's, the breakdown for the last 3 spots was either:

Option 1

3: Lynch
2: Laird
1: Jacobs

3: Priddis
2: Laird
1: Jacobs

Option 2

3: Laird
2: Jacobs
1: Lynch

3: Priddis
2: Lynch
1: Laird

Option 3

3: Laird
2: Jacobs
1: Priddis

3: Lynch
2: Priddis
1: Laird
Thanks for these. OP updated.

These are the first AFLCA votes Jacobs has received in 2016.

Looking at those votes, it's fairly obvious that Sloane, Betts and Thompson are the top-3 players at the club. JJ is right behind them, but his votes have only come from 2 games - the others are polling far more regularly. Same can be said for Lynch. It's daylight back to 6th.

Can you do a mid-season update in a similar vein to the above?

Three has now become 2.. Sloane and Betts sit high atop the Adelaide AFLCA voting tree, with 55 and 40 votes respectively. Following them, it's our 2nd and 3rd tall forwards, in JJ and Lynch. Walker isn't far behind, having scored 17 votes between R9-11. Thompson, the early leader, has stalled on 15 votes - having not received a single vote since R5.

Tomorrow's votes will likely see Sloaney go top of the table after average performances from Dangerfield and Selwood, with Hannebery having the bye.

I'd expect Dangerfield and Selwood to get votes. It was a close game and they were Geelong's 2 standouts. Not maximum points, but 4-6. Probably 6 to Selwood and 5 to Danger. Steven and Ross should top the Saints votes, with Selwood next, probably one better than Rewioldt, then Danger. Perhaps!?!

OP updated with the R14 (North Melbourne) votes.

Thompson moving back into the top-5, with his first votes since the early rounds. Sloane extends his lead at the top of the table.

I wonder if anyone predicted that Thommo's form would drop off after a few games and then return a bit after being freshened?
 
Round 15 votes are in: http://www.afc.com.au/news/2016-07-04/rory-rockets-to-the-top

10 – Rory Laird (Adel)
7 – Jack Watts (Melb)
4 – Charlie Cameron (Adel)
4 – Taylor Walker (Adel)
3 – Rory Sloane (Adel)
2 – Nathan Jones (Adel)

It's been a long day, but I believe the possible breakdown of votes is:

Laird: 10 = 5+5
Watts: 7 = 4+3
Cameron: 4 = 4+0 or 2+2
Walker: 4 = 2+2 or 4+0
Sloane: 3 = 3+0
Jones: 2 = 1+1

OR

(thanks sgPanther)

Laird: 10 = 5+5
Watts: 7 = 4+3
Cameron: 4 = 3+1 or 4+0
Walker: 4 = 4+0 or 3+1
Sloane: 3 = 2+1
Jones: 2 = 2+0

Which means by coach we have

Coach 1

Laird
Watts
Sloane
Walker/Cameron
Jones

Coach 2

Laird
Cameron/Walker
Watts
Walker/Cameron
Jones

OR

Coach 1 (Roos)

Laird
Watts
Walker/Cameron
Jones
Sloane

Coach 2 (Pyke)

Laird
Cameron/Walker
Watts
Sloane
Walker/Cameron

Please let me know where my maths/logic has failed and I will fix it up. :D

There are a couple more potential variations I think. Not that it really matters that much as it doesn't change the votes!

10: 5+5
7: 4+3
4: 0+4 or 3+1 or 2+2
4: 2+2 or 4+0 or 3+1
3: 3+0 or 2+1
2: 1+1 or 2+0

Can Sloane win the Brownlow? I don't think the umpires will know who to give the votes to other than Rory. Duckwood will take votes off Danger.
If he continues this run of form he absolutely can.

Sloane beating Danger for the Brownlow would be the best thing ever (apart from beating Geelong in a final).

I bloody hope so.

Current cash out amount is $34.65. I wish I'd had more than $5 in my account when I placed this on the 1st of January. :D

Nice!

Centrebet stupidly had the crows at 100-1 for the flag after Round 1 so i put $30 on. I wanted to put more on but they wouldn't take my bet!

Can Danger's boat sink as part of this fantasy?

OP updated.

Rory Laird has now jumped to 3rd on the Adelaide ladder. Brad Crouch gets his first vote of the season.

Oddly enough, no sign of votes for Lever & Henderson.
