Who will win Brownlow

[Frodo]

If it were between these players , based on performance to date, who do you think would win.

My ranking is from top to bottom

 

[Darky]

Um.... Bastard Black. (Simon, that is). F*cknuckle Francou would have polled a lot of votes but cost himself eligibility when he clocked Conniving Camporeale.

Of the players mentioned, in order..
1. West (umpires' favourite player for years now)
2. Buckley (consistent, lots of 2 and 3 vote games)
3. McLeod (attention-grabbing style, several 3 vote games)
4. Ratten (key in Carlton's resurgence, not a high vote-getter in previous years)
5. Primus (ruckmen often poll well, as they are in a lot of contests where umpires are directly involved - ball ups, etc)
6. Cousins (has had a great year, well on the way to Jod's star status, but possessions aren't as damaging as other midfielders', and often his direct opponent will have just as many touches and directly compete for votes).

Why the less-than-complementary names, Frodo?

Just remember the deal Darky, he makes AA team you will have to refer to Cousins as a star every time you mention him.

No Hird?

I would guess that the Essendon vote will be spread so Hird wont figure.

I reckon Ratten.
The umpires dont like Buckley, as its been proved.
Ratten will win infront of Akermanis and West!

I'm surprised Cuz is polling so well considering.

Umpires rarely give votes to losing sides. Eagles only won 3

Umpires don't like to give votes to Eagles players , otherwise Matera would have at least 2 Brownlows
