Our next two weeks we have Essendon and then Brisbane, good chance to poll well in those matches.
Still way behind Fyfe and probably behind Goldstein too

It's funny how people still try to apply logic to the Brownlow after all these years. Some random decent/great mid will win it and lots of people will be really mad for some reason.
Goldy is in the game. A gun in an average side will get votes. Fyfe should still win it.
Nic Nat won't poll well, he has gun mids such as Priddis and Gaff who are stealing votes off him and having career best seasons, plus it's a midfielder's award so the umpires will definitely be keeping an eye on them.Would be cool for a ruckman to win it.
Is Nic Nat a chance too? Haven't seen much West Coast, but heard he's been pretty good this year and Eagles have won a lot of games.
He tends to poll better against better teams. See the Freo match?Adelaide have a tough run home. If anyone can beat Fyfe, it may be Goldstein or Priddis.
Well, with his recent injury concerns that shallow, declining midfield could cost him the Brownlow...Nat Fyfe is an absolute jet; and the decline of Freo (IMO obviously) should see him win votes in a shallow midfield. He'd be my pick this far out.
Danger gets votes when no one expects him to, happened the last 2 years in particular. In 2012 IIRC (may have been 2013) Hanners went nuts early in the year before tailing away, he's a good chance to crack 20 votes again.Danger has been so consistent this year I think easily the best season he has had. Hard to see him not finishing top 3.
Hard to predict how the umps will vote though. Last year there was a definite increase in votes given to players from the losing team, I wonder if it will be the same this year.
I like dangers chances, polled 21 votes last year when he was down and we were losing the umpires just admire him you have power midfielders, you have speedy midfielders and then you have him who is the perfect mix of both. This is arguably his best year and we look set for finals.
Could be on 22 votes atm
2 vs North Melbourne round 1
3 vs Collingwood round 2
2 vs Port round 5
1 vs GWS round 8
3 vs Fremantle round 9
1 vs Carlton round 10
3 vs Hawthorn round 12
1 vs West Coast round 15
3 vs Gold Coast round 17
3 vs Richmond round 19
Fyfe probably hasn't polled the last 6 weeks and even before that he was having a lot of scrappy 30 possesions games where people give him a vote or two because he's Fyfe. I'm not saying danger is the next best chance just putting his name out there.
Fyfe is not a lock for the Brownlow.

I like Goldy though, should get quite a few 3s in Norths weakish midfield, only Ziebell has had a few standout games there that could take votes off him.
Darce was a one trick pony that year, he'd grab the ball out of the ruck and bomb it forward, you could say the same about Tredrea in 04 was it? about KPPs never polling well?Goldy could easily poll poorly, just like when Luke Darcy was fav. The umps arent conditioned to look for rucks when giving their votes.

Dominant rucks have won before though, Schultz, Dempsey, Round, Stynes, Wynd, Goodes just to name a few off the top of my head and McKernan polled the most votes with Hird and Voss but was suspended obviously.
Rucks polled well in the past but over the last 10 years have polled poorly, the Brownlow has become a midfielders award and for many in the industry almost irrelevant as it is no longer seen as a true indication of who the best player in the competition. It is actually something which is common across all commentators, the only really true award that I would rate are the coaches award and AFLPA award.Darce was a one trick pony that year, he'd grab the ball out of the ruck and bomb it forward, you could say the same about Tredrea in 04 was it? about KPPs never polling well?

He's a good chance the longer Fyfe doesn't play.Sam Mitchell anyone?
