I think I said this in the other thread and despite Rockliff being super consistent (4th best mid this year for mine), he has only polled 31 votes in AFLCA voting (equal with Zorko). Has he had enough BOGs to poll well? He has only had 1 BOG according to the coaches.
 
I think he'll be right up there. Came fifth last year when he spent half of the year up forward carrying a groin injury.

Sadly can't win the award though.

look back at his games and have a look at where he would realistically poll though, it isnt even close to 15 votes.

Judging the way one bloke gets looked after by the umpires I'd suggest he's the favourite.
 
I don't think Selwood is a chance, at all. Kennedy or Pendlebury.
 
my pick is kennedy. my smokey is beams. I think pendlebury will do a 2011 judd and flop big time. he's got more talent than almost any other player but isn't imposing enough the way selwood, kennedy, fyfe etc are.
 
Fyfe to win it based on points, massive uproar will ensue

Kennedy/Selwood/Pendlebery to fight off for the second spot

Will be gutted for Fyfey if he does finish with top votes. Also gutted at the fact I put $100 on him to win it at the beginning of the year.

I don't think Selwood is a chance, at all. Kennedy or Pendlebury.

Why? Selwood was clear BOG in our first four games and three of our last five (Essendon, Melbourne, GWS). He would have picked up two or three votes last night. Kennedy is yet to prove he is a big vote getter and will have more teammates taking votes from him than Selwood will. Reckon Collingwood's poor month and a half will cost Pendlebury.
 
I would think that Kennedy is a worthy favourite - Buddy will take some votes off him but i don't think Jack, McVeigh, Parker will and Hannebery might but he's been out for a few weeks now. Pendlebury hasn't had Swan taking votes off him this year so could be a good bet but then again Beams has been really good in a few of their wins so who knows.

My smokey is definitely Jordan Lewis - I don't think he'll win it but as an outside bet I can see him picking up 1s and 2s and maybe even in losses (he played pretty well in the Port game at AO in particular). He was good today and while Roughy will get the 3 for his bag (you would think) I've got Lewis in the votes again. He's $101 in a few places, maybe more on betfair, and that has to be worth a few bucks - particularly if he plays well the last few rounds.

the afl won't allow itself to be embarrassed like that. fyfe will fall just short.
 
Is it fair to say that since Ablett went down some of those who were on the next lines of betting have not exactly been on fire?
 
Anyone backing Pendlebury is a fool, won't get near it.

My tally of eligible players has:
Gary Ablett-25
Joel Selwood-21
Josh Kennedy-20
Dayne Beams-17
Lance Franklin-16
Steve Johnson-16
Tracks Boak-14

Bad move.

The tribunal stitches him up every year
 
Don't think Selwood would be anywhere near it atm. Had him 3 votes in R1 and R3 with Johnson taking the 3 in R2 + R4 with Selwood 2 in both games.

Did absolutely nothing between rounds 5-17. Maybe 1 against Freo in R9 and possibly 1/2 against Ess in R15.

2 votes in R17 vs Melb behind Johnson.
Toss up between Jphnson and him for 3 against GWS in R18 and have him for 2 on Saturday night.

That's 19 max..
