Notes:

- all predictions are for the home and away season unless otherwise specified (* = including finals)
- question 2 has a broad (and subjective) criteria, and will possibly require photographic or news article evidence
- question 7 does not include ruckmen, and only players who are primarily midfielders (as decided by myself)
- for questions 4-8, if you think the answer will be the same, you must specify so
- if question 16 is a tie, full points will be awarded to anyone with the correct answers
- if you think it'll be more goals, answer with a negative number
- some of the nearest the pin scores are incomplete currently, they will be added later

In typical Brownlow fashion Packedlunch will receive the credit he is due one year too late & take out the 2017 Bay13 Toots!

You can't win this one because Toots isn't announced until after the competition is awarded.

Should be a most Brownlow votes between Mitchell, Lewis and Hodge prediction.

Thought of going the Brownlow angle with the 4 there, but felt I'd leaned heavily enough on Brownlow votes.

If I could the Crows question would've been about goals kicked by Josh Jenkins within 15m, but I couldn't find any previous stats for such a thing.

Jerkins would be a trick question, all.

The way FOTY went we'll be lucky to know who won the Toots by 2018.

He also has Geelong down for both 9th and bottom 4.

25. Go out on a limb and predict and unforseen controversy this year. It will be given a value of 1-5 points depending on a combination of likelihood (the less likely, the more points) and humour. If it comes off, you get the points.

-A player misses 12-16 weeks due to a 'hamstring' complaint. Everyone knows it's drugs. The players club is blamed in the paper for 'not supporting his welfare'. The club did try, the player is just a deadshit.

-Isaac smith misses another shot for goal after the siren

-Clarkson makes front page with a display of rage as Tassie falls down the ladder

So if I were to give an opposition player a standing ovation does that count as St Kilda honoring someone?

Sorry Cookie, but you're just not that important.

Basically needs to be the banner or a guard of honour, the etc is there in case they surprise us with something else.

Last home game was vs Norf

Really missed a beat Norf by not sending of boomer, firrito, NDS and Petrie off this season

And your last game overall is against us, only player we have in the retirement bracket is Maric, and he won't be playing.

Reading that though, Norf don't have a home game in the last 3 rounds of the season, which is really odd. Lucky they retired all their players off already.
