Here's how Robbie Gray will win the Brownlow.

Five rounds in and the big two (Ablett and Selwood) are off to a strong start. Ablett is on 9 votes after polling the maximum in rounds one, three and five. Selwood is on 10 after getting three votes in rounds one and three, as well as two votes in rounds two and four (both behind Stevie J). And it’s in round five that Robbie Gray gets off the mark, with two votes against the Eagles, behind Brad Ebert.

Round six and Ablett is recognised for another B.O.G. against GWS. Selwood and Gray square off in the Cats/Power match. Neither polls, although Gray is unlucky to miss out. Ablett 12, Selwood 10, Gray 2.

Ablett extends his lead in round 7 with yet another uncontroversial 3 votes. Nothing for Selwood. Gray gets a single vote against GWS, behind Polec and Ward. Ablett 15, Selwood 10, Gray 3.

Over rounds 8 and 9, all players play once. Gray earns his first B.O.G. against Freo, and Ablett gets three votes against St Kilda. Ablett 18, Selwood 10, Gray 6.

Round 10 and all is quiet on the western front.

Round 11 and there are no votes for the frontrunners. But Robbie Gray gets 3 votes against Melbourne, edging out Boak and Tyson. 18, 10, 9.

In round 12, Ablett gets all the stats in a loss against the Swans but the umpires give the 3 votes to Dan Hannebery. Ablett gets 2. As does Robbie Gray in a blowout win against the Saints, perhaps unfortunate to not get the 3 behind Hartlett. Again nothing for Selwood. Ablett 20, Selwood 10, Gray 11.

Round 13 sees Ablett narrowly miss out on the votes against WCE (with the votes going to Naitanui, Kennedy and Prestia). Gray gets another 2 votes against the Swans, behind Lance Franklin. 20, 10, 13.

In round 14, Ablett gets 2 votes against the Cats (Bennell 3). Nothing for Selwood. Gray has a reasonable game, but misses out. 22, 10, 13.

Round 15 and it’s 2 votes each for Ablett and Selwood, who polled behind Hodge and Heppell, respectively. Gray goes missing. 24, 12, 13.

Unfortunately for Gary Ablett, he sustains a shoulder injury in his round 16 match and takes no further part in the season. There are no votes for Selwood. Gray leads Port Adelaide in a tight loss against the Bombers with 30 touches and a goal. He gets 2 votes behind Zaharakis. 24, 12, 15.

In round 17, Selwood gets the maximum votes, just ahead of Motlop. Nothing for Gray. 24, 15, 15.

Round 18 sees Ablett’s lead further eroded. Selwood was the best on ground against GWS. While Gray, yet again, polls 2 votes, this time in a win against Melbourne, behind Tyson from the Demons. 24, 18, 17.

In round 19, Selwood closes in. Christensen is a clear B.O.G. for the Cats, but Selwood gets the 2. And nothing for Gray. 24, 20, 17.

In round 20, Selwood gets a single vote in a tight win against Freo, behind Taylor and Barlow. Port Adelaide lose a tight game against Sydney, and McGlynn gets the 3 votes. But Robbie Gray gets 37 disposals and 2 votes. 24, 21, 19.

Round 21 makes things interesting. Selwood is a non-factor. While Gray gets the maximum votes with 11 inside 50s in a comfortable win against the Suns. 24, 21, 22.

And Robbie Gray takes the lead in round 22 with 3 votes for a demolition job against the Blues. The Cats lose against Hawthorn and Selwood misses out. 24, 21, 25.

In round 23, Selwood was brilliant against the Lions, but gets only 2 votes behind Tom Hawkins. Robbie Gray has 33 touches and 2 goals. He too gets 2 votes, behind Lachie Neale. 24, 23, 27.

Could possibly poll in: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8

May poll in none.

Would avoid this like the plague.

Fair enough. I was basing it mainly off stats and it seems his only vote worthy games were when he was 5th or 6th best

Does anyone have Kane Cornes polling a vote? I think there is value in Sportsbet market of Cornes not to poll at $3.20

Round 6 against Geelong is a huge risk - highest possession winner in a big win against the Cats and Herald Sun, Age and the Coaches all rated Cornes in the top 3. As Catz mentioned there are a couple of other at risk games early on as well

$1001. Wow! His season has been truly remarkable given he hasn't been injured, which is remarkable in itself.

There are five favourites to poll most for their team who I think are way too short, and as such I have laid them.

Dangerfield, Pendles, Jones, Harvey and Libba.

Interesting you don't give Libba a chance.

I have him over Boyd by a few & was lucky enough to get on him to win his Group @ $5's

Umpires avoid Kornes like the plague, too.
I have him polling 1 vote in the first couple rounds, so I thought there is good value in the market

why,you don't rate him top 3 or 5....proven poller against a non-poller like gray??

You need to understand why Gray has been a non-poller. Small fwds don't poll but this year he's a mid, totally different situation.

Sure he'll have the usual handicap early in the year of "being noticed" as a breakout player but he's not really a player you can you history with to suggest how he'll poll this year
