Re: Brownlow Medal 2010
Yep, this is just one factor that is making this game so hard to judge tonight.

Re: Brownlow Medal 2010
Hard game to predict where the votes will go but Im tending to think Ablett will get the votes ahead of Selwood. Overall impression is that he stood out more especially towards the end. The 3 goals plus a few stand out impressive moves in midfield and the ball he skillfully collected in defence all stood out in my mind. Although he had a very low disposal count by his standards, he also didnt have any give/get handballs that usually help to rack up his stats(but that may not contribute to his ability to poll anyway). I would give him minimum 2 votes. I think he will poll ahead of Selwood tonight though.

Re: Brownlow Medal 2010
Cheers mate, really appreciate any feedback I get and glad to hear.
That's exactly right. Earlier on in the season when Bartel was in his rich vein of form i'd have said it was 50/50 between him and Ablett to take out the most votes at Geelong, however Selwood has now surpassed Bartel in recent weeks. And if the second year Brownlow blues takes affect like it has to previous Brownlow winners, then Selwood is in with a good show!
So if Ablett's performance tonight means we can get $5+ for Selwood, i'm all for it. It'd be worth substituting Selwood into some of your multi's for the sheer value alone.
Walker, I enjoy reading your blog mate. Keep up the top work

Re: Brownlow Medal 2010
I guess another thing would could hope for this weekend is a poor showing from Collingwood? Thus allowing us to hedge our Brownlow/Geelong multis at a bit more value? I know most of mine are into Geelong for the flag, but I have Judd and Pendlebury covered for either side winning...

Re: Brownlow Medal 2010
Selwood wasnt even in the best players on the AFL site.
He had a quiet start to the year.
The best thing Selwood done all night was start blocking for Ablett.

If someones trolling just report their post rather than engaging, let's keep the junk posts in this thread to a minimum.
I found this game hard to vote. I want to give Selwood 3, but to be honest I don't think he was that damaging. Anyway, very tentatively:
Selwood
Ablett
Chapman/Enright

Re: Brownlow Medal 2010
That shows you how bad some of the match reviewers are on afl.com.au. I have looked at some of the best players on some of their articles and often they have no idea.
Selwood was outstanding tonight, he did a few hard pack break aways that would have really caught the umpires eyes. I've ended up with:
3. Selwood
2. Chapman
1. Ablett
Chances for M Murphy and C Enright. I also think Ablett does have a chance to swap places with Chapman.

Re: Brownlow Medal 2010
Good analysis.
I was content with Carazzos performance on GAJ until the last qtr. There were some nice kicks from Selwood, the tackle he laid on Scotland(?) and mouthed off to the ump stood out. Hopefully the ump doesnt take it to heart, not as provocative as Chappys outbursts.

Re: Brownlow Medal 2010
I'm with you on that one! i think he may just pip Ports, i have him leading, with Pearce right behind and then Rodan. I am confident to leave Boak out of the equation right now and feel he might disappoint people with this year.

Re: Brownlow Medal 2010
I was at the game and felt Selwood was the most damaging. Some of Chapman's clearance work was absolutely first rate but he picked up a lot of touches essentially unmarked whereas Selwood's aggression on the ball and penetration stood out all night. GAJ's second half wasn't huge but every touch was valuable, I thought Murphy was clearly Carlton's most prolific attacker and had a bigger influence than Ablett but I have them raffling the 1 (mind you, as others have said, it could easily go elsewhere)
3 Selwood
2 Chapman
1 Ablett/Murphy

Re: Brownlow Medal 2010
And as per usual there are simpletons such as yourself who choose to swallow what some so called 'expert' journalist chooses to list as bests on a website? What a great example right there...
Selwood was just awesome last night, the most influential player on the ground. The only Geelong player having a go in the 3rd when the rest of the team went to sleep... hard nosed, tough all night... great to watch. For mine he's got the 3 wrapped up. I don't have any $ on him as yet...
3- Selwood

Re: Brownlow Medal 2010
Definitely wouldn't surprise me to see Gibbs or Murphy get a vote in this match.
It was closer than the result made it look and those two can poll well.
Or is it wishful thinking to hope that they steal the one off Ablett?
