Very rare that a medal winner doesn't receive 3 votes, even more so in a seven goal loss.

Very rare that a medal winner doesn't receive 3 votes, even more so in a seven goal loss.

That's fair.

Good quiz question too

Interesting aspect of these leaderboards:

• All of them have Butters prominent - coming from a Port fan (we suck), don't think he can maintain this with us being a bottom 6 side.
• Petracca started like a house on fire but GC boys will take votes of each other.
• Sheez prominent also but had such a soft draw early he won't maintain
• Looks like a race between 2 - BSmith and Naicos. Very interesting race - a play on both looks like the play? BSmith great next 3 fixutres so will probably drop more. Naicos one more good fixture left before a run of tough match-ups

 

[the_big_sav]

Yeh you'd have to say Port appearing to be bottom 6 and under 8 wins will hurt butters going 30+. Can't see them having lots of honourable losses where he could get 3 in a loss.

Umps getting stats will see smith getting high 20s early 30s in all their wins will keep him in the votes. Just depends if they notice his kicking/Holmes impact.

Sheezal probably has this week to poll then thats it (geel/syd/gc/adel/freo) that'll drop him right back

Bont will lose a bit during this tough patch for dogs.

Petrecca is hard read. Theory would be Anderson Rowell Petrecca all steal votes off each other but will his goals make him stand out and get more 3s? Suns should be winning enough games for them to be polling 5/6 or 6/6 each week

Sportsbet currently have

Naicos $3
Smith $6
Petrecca $10

Would be the 3 i lean towards

How Butters polls is going to be the most interesting this year. Take this past weekend for example. JHF should poll the 3 and then a case can be made for Georgie 2 and Sweet 1 with Butters missing out, while others will give him 2.
