Biggest thing against him is how hard it is to win when you have another team mate polling in the 20s.

But he did win the coaches award, only Daicos had more disposals and he is club captain, there is lots to like.

One of those two Suns have a chance to overpoll vs the other and poll into the 30s if that happens.

Anderson outright price above is good on my numbers
 
Young club captain is definitely one good factor he has going for him.

I guess how those 2 and 3 votes are split will go a long way in determining who finishes ahead.

This seems to be the prevailing narrative everywhere but I can't understand why Anderson seemingly has the edge to this in the market.

Polling history: Big time in Rowell's favor.
Eye catching: Definitely Rowell.
Without umpires getting stats the bell weathers become Clearances, Contested Possessions, Tackles: Rowell.

That 'quiet patch' from round 7-14 he could still poll in 5 of those matches. I reckon he beats Anderson even if he polls nothing from those.

And again, even if Anderson overcomes all that he's doing low 30's and has to overcome Daicos, Smith and Dawson. Daicos is $3.50 for 35+.

If it means anything, I had Rowell polling more votes than Noah last season- got on at 5.50 and took it lower odds closer to the count at $3 , and he was underdog for sure to win Suns votes last season.

Just feel Anderson goals are a bit more eye catching, and Meters Gained is a metric that umpires look at. And as sohoho mentioned, being a captain means a bit.

Maybe keep an eye out on a Rowell+ Anderson combined votes markets if that comes out.

Do you mean something they subtly notice in game? Coz we're led to believe there's a strict no stats rule in place. And its normally a stat owned by half backs who get shafted on votes each year. Sam Walsh is a metres gained type of player, after he gets the handball from Cripps, and Cripps is the one that gets the votes.

Will be interesting to see if they start to edge away from the pure contested bulls and clearances as their metric and reward outside players more. Makes the Geelong count an important watch coz Holmes is mostly run and carry metres gained, Smith a good mix of the two.

Still with Holmes and Anderson we're asking them to buck the actual trend we see each year so we'd wanna be getting good odds on it.

Contested possessions, clearances are king. Its a metric that gets discussed quite a bit , metres gained. Score involvements important too, but goals are the cherry off the top.

Dont want to be too stat dependent but my observation seemed like with Gold Coast being a better side this season, I often saw Noah lurk more in front of goal.

Just believe what your instincts are, Ive got some bets spread across other markets. Dont want to put you off from whatever your initial instinct was. I do understand your point about Noah potentially reaching his ceiling of low 30s and other contenders going past him- which could very well happen. Starting to think about it more, a lower count probably favours Noah and Rowell as they will pinch votes off each other.


Naicos starts favourite by name and reputation. But if you strongly feel about your man, back him would be my advice.

Yeah hard to see both of them going well below 30 in a low count that's for sure.

Daicos well under the odds but that's nothing new.
 
Anyone that has Anderson a proper chance, please convince me. What does he get to and what games?

Umps had a mid-season hissy fit about players bumping into them and Rowell was the main offender. If there are half a dozen games where it's hard to split the pair for the three and the two, they could break heavily Anderson's way.
 
And again, even if Anderson overcomes all that he's doing low 30's and has to overcome Daicos, Smith and Dawson. Daicos is $3.50 for 35+.
These one way prices are all terrible guides though
Actual probability of 35+ is much lower.

That said it's all in both Suns range of outcomes to poll this.
 
Daicos is favourite from a combination of name, polling history and the fact he's competing against literal nobodies for votes.

They've won more games this year too
 
Thought I keep track of most things but has anyone seen the compilation brownlowgenius have? Are they new? Worth a look for free
 
Interesting that Brisbane is $2.50 favourite for total team votes, they had 16 wins and a draw with the worst percentage in the top 4.
I would have thought teams with more wins and a big percentage indicates more dominant wins and closer losses which would result in more votes.

I reckon Geelong $2.75 or Adelaide $10 seems better value.

Adelaide @10

I like Rankine round 22 v Eagles 3 votes @5, he had a huge 20 disposal 2nd half and kicked a clutch last quarter goal, Dawson got the 10 coaches votes, Rankine 8, Rankine stood out more to me though and was the match winner.

Also like Rankine round 21 v Hawthorn @5, was huge in last quarter come back kicking a couple of goals including a stunner from the pocket, finished with 9 score involvements 3 goal assists and kicked 3, Dawson was also huge but i reckon Rankine was the difference and brilliant when the game was up for grabs.
 
Head to Head Brownlow multi.
Picks named 1st.

Rankine v Toby Greene
Gawn v Grundy
Naicos v B Smith
Serong v Tom Green
Thilthorpe v J Cameron @21.92
 
My H2H bets:

Thilthorpe more votes than J Cameron
Dunkley more votes than Cripps
Hewett more votes than Newcombe
Rozee more votes than Neale

@ 23.41
