So, Who's Winning The Brownlow?

[Brunswick Trap King]

Nat Fyfe easily. Best player in the comp and it's not even close. Underrated because of the Freo factor but he's an all time great.

 

[bumsonseats]

My top 3:
Higgins
Gawn
Mitchell

My smokey is Rory Laird

Gaff also a good shot

I wouldnt write Dusty off just yet - coming into some good form and I dont think it will be a high vote count to win it

Not eligible.

Gaff
Cripps
Higgins
Mitchell
Gawn

 

[Altum Volantes]

Never one to tip an Eagle for the Medal but Gaff would have to be in with a shake. Proven vote getter having a career best year. Profile has grown higher too.

Hope I haven’t just jinxed him..

Then again... Tom Mitchell could have a huge number of votes. He has been in the AFL team of the week almost every week or mentioned as an apology. (the team chosen by Kane Cornes, admittedly).

 

[MUFASA12]

My Tip: Tom Mitchell/jack macrea

Smokey: Devon Smith/ Laird.

 

[Benny78]

Could 2018 be the first year a club wins a Brownlow?

 

[Farang83150]

Gaffs gotta be in with a shot this year.

There is a post directly above from a WC supporter suggesting Gaff. Could have been an opportunity to like a post from a member of your tribe. It is a pet gaff of mine,

Yeah,right... whinging's my pet hate.

It was the "gotta" that triggered me, as if it had not been suggested. sorry.

 

[Billy Not Really]

It'll come down to Cripps, Higgins and Gawn.

 

[gutsroy]

Gaff a shout?
Edit: Already mentioned by a few, sorry.

 

[WWSD]

It'll come down to Cripps, Higgins and Gawn.

Carlton haven’t won enough games for Cripps to poll well.

Oliver, Hogan and even Brayshaw may all steal some votes of Gawn.

Mitchell will likely win it. Ain’t no other Hawthorn player who will steal votes. He will get a lot of 3s and 2 vote games.


1. Mitchell
2. Gaff
3. Cripps
4. Fyfe
5. Grundy

 

[Acinath]

Gaff is my smokey, but it is wide open right now

 

[Drewie11]

Well it's not me, that's for sure!

I hope Joel Selwood wins just for you, I can tell you for certainty that Selwood will poll a lot more votes than Travis Boak

 

[Moggy]

Personally i think Gawn or Higgins.

...

Buddy could get a lot of 3s... and if he has more blinders then maybe. I think it will be a low voting year.

Buddy would be great. I would also be happy with Higgins.

 

[juss]

Without a dominant player this year I'm looking for a consistent midfielder in a team that's won at least 10 games, without a heap of other standouts in the side.

I think Mitchell fits the bill best, could see him posting 20+ votes and I reckon mid 20s is enough this year.

I could also see a tie on the cards too.
Don't discount guys like Gaff, Higgins, Ablett, Martin if they finish the season strong.

I just can't tip a ruckman because history is against them.

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

I doubt anyone would have it won just yet. Dusty is starting to refind last years form though. With 15 votes up for grabs still, and probably 10-12 votes already on the board, he’d be a pretty big show in a low scoring year.

It depends what happens with Mitchell though.

 

[Hookster]

Danger: teachers pet.

 

[WCE Wizard]

Gaff as a smoky

 

[Roobs321]

If I had to pick someone from complete left field I'd say Elliot Yeo. Reckon I've seen him have 2-3 BOGs at least and is the type of player that would poll well when he's playing in the midfield.

I think Gaff will regularly poll votes for the Eagles. I'm interested to see how Redden does, if the umpires notice him or not, could be the difference for Gaff. Could easily see Gaff picking up a lot of BOGs, whether deserved or not.

 

[Suma Magic]

Can’t believe that no one has mentioned Gaff!!!

Gaff for mine.

 

[PieLebo87]

Was this thread just an excuse for the OP to bring up Jordan De Goey?

He has been exciting to watch, hasn’t he? Has all the attributes of a future Brownlow medalist.

This.

Writing is on the wall that Mitchell wins it for mine.
