In the close games I reckon you're right, but in the smashings he might be lucky to get even 1 vote. Votes generally favour the winning team.
Yeah he'll rack up a few 1s and maybe the odd 2 but that's about it unfortunately, might get to 10 votes.

I'd say 7 potential vote games so far, based both on his performance and that of the team. However, there might be the odd game where we still get slapped but he was just immense, like against Freo.

Rd 2 vs Melbourne
Rd 4 vs Geelong
Rd 8 vs North
Rd 13 vs GWS
Rd 16 vs St Kilda
Rd 17 vs Richmond
Rd 18 vs Brisbane

I'd put him around 15-18 votes for the year
We've won one game this season. The team will be lucky to get 15 - 18 votes for the year. The closest equivalent to our current season was 2013 with Melbourne and GWS. They polled 16 and 17 votes respectively that season.

It's quite unlikely that he will make double figures.

I agree with DapperDon, somewhere between 12 and 16. I can imagine him getting a 3 vote somewhere, maybe a couple of 2s....and a chunk of 1s. Been incredibly consistent at racking up big numbers and has stood out. Will be noticed IMO.

Not necessarily..
We have a terrible team in which Zach's class stands out and is amplified to the umps..
Similar to how Priddis won a lot of votes in 2014..
