Exactly.

Heres another piece of interesting trivia, there has only been 2 game in the past three counts (2006-2007-2009) where Swan has not got a minimum of 1 vote when having 30+ possessions (both in 2006).

In this time, he has had a total of 11 30+ possession games, grabbing a total of 21 votes (polling out of 9 games). In 2009, Swan has amassed 30+ touches 16 times with 2 rounds remaining. Further if you only look at the 2007-2008 counts, where Swan really became a good player he has 7 games at 30+ for 19 brownlow votes.

Ok, so Swan will habe 16 1 vote games ;)

But in all seriousness, disposals seem to be up for the year overall.

Very true, it wasn't meant to be totally serious. I think he will be up there but there have been much higher possessions overall.

If you want to twist stats even further, last 2 years.. 7 games over 30 and 19 Brownlow votes meaning he averages 2.71 votes per game over 30. Means if he doesn't get another game over 30, he should be on 43 votes :D:D.

Whilst Selwood and Black are great players.
Neither has a shot at the brownlow this year (unless they both have ripper final 2 games - and even then I doubt it).

At this stage I doubt either will get 20+.

I completely agree, the most I see Black getting is 19 with 2 BOGs in next 2 weeks. Selwood I have as 5th cat in line behind SJ, Chappy and Jimmy and obviously Jnr.

Cooney BOG for MMM.

Wouldn't surprise me if he got the 3 votes. When there was no 'stand-out' as such, I think you've gotta factor in Cooney's history. He probably polled a few unexpected 3's last year on his way to the Brownlow. Having said that, I expect him to receive no more than two.

Re: Brownlow Medal

Really hard to pick the votes in this game as no real stand outs for the Dogs - Boyd had a great first half but didn't have much influence after that....overall I thought Johnson probably deserved the 3 votes, but it's close. Can't agree with Selwood getting near the votes - thought Ablett was a lot better and would be more deserving of sneaking the one. Selwood got plenty of it but turned it over more than usual and was generally less effective with it - like a few of the Cats. I would have:

3: Johnson
2: Boyd
1: Ablett

Boyd was very good in the 4th quarter.
 
Re: Brownlow Medal

Cooney was great in the last term, with the running goal and also assist to Johnson late which got dogs over the line. Couple that with the fact
he was very good all game he should get the 3 votes for mine then its a dead set raffle. You would think Selwood has too get 1 vote though.

What makes you so sure BK? You have Judd, Black, Ablett, Selwood and Goodes on 24 and above. So conceivably you could have all finishing on 30 or above votes. In the last 10 years, 5 players have got 25 votes or more, only Judd has got 30 since Harvey's 32 in 1998. I think this year's count will be a bit more like last years or even 2005, when Cousins won with 20 votes.

Fair call...my view is that there is atleast 1 game that every player gets missed. I am happy to knock 2-3 off every player and feel that the winner will be around the mid twenties.
