If Cassisi can get another clear BOG, it looks like he will be the LeCras of 2010.

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.

Walker, I enjoy reading your blog mate. Keep up the top work

Cheers mate, really appreciate any feedback I get and glad to hear.

Whether it be by 1 (as I am predicting), or 2, or even 3, (as AjsGuns and Forthwrite are saying), Selwood should make some ground on Gazza tonight. I know we are not happy with that last quarter junk time performance by Ablett, but look at it in a positive way. The bookies might look at this, and see he has 4 goals against his name, and maintain, or even shorten his odds for most team votes. This would ultimately make Selwood a real solid option at $5+ now, because in my books this one is as good as 50/50.

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.

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

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.

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.

3. Selwood
2. Chappy
1. GAJ

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

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
2- Chapman
1- Ablett

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?

3. Selwood
2. Chapman
1. Ablett/Gibbs/Murphy/Bartel

Agreed it was closer than the final margin suggests. Gibbs and Murphy definitely a chance to take 1, Bartel less so I think, got a bit of the ball but wasn't any more influential than Enright/Taylor/Podsiadly/Kelly and didn't really stand out for me

Hard game to give votes for last night. I didn't notice Chapman at all.

Selwood was blistering in that first half then quietened down. I also noticed his ump spray on the scotland tackle. Ablett will poll imo. So those 2 and 1 of Chapman/Gibbs. No idea of the order this week, might rewatch it.

Never rewatch it. Vote how you saw it then and there, because that's what the umpires do.

Missed most of the last quarter, mainly that I'd have to rewatch but I do agree.

Judd 0 votes. I know that much.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Selwood has been Swan like as in just being in there teams best every week since round 6.
I feel that Chappy and Enright were the best 2 last night but Selwoods ball use (kicking vision in the middle) was as good as i have seen from him.

If Swan polls well i think he will win but if he doesnt it opens it up for many others but Selwood would be the next in line for me and he can pick up 2 or 3 for last night man he is gonna be right up there.

 

[Brownlow King]

Hodge has started very well today. He gave his opponent a low impact punch at the very first bounce but probably will go unnoticed.

I went last night ( hungover today ! ) and agree with lots of you that it was a very hard game to vote.
I went with
3 Chapman
2 Selwood
1 Ablett

 

[danielnajdek]

Was wondering where this thread went.
Montagna's on fire. Where has everyone got him in their counts?

 

[lions_den]

stk rich @ ht

3. Goddard
2. Montagna
1. Kosi

 

[Athomas]

stk rich @ ht

3. Goddard
2. Montagna
1. Kosi

Not sure what game you are watching. Jack Volt clearly the best with Montagna imo.

 

[Brownlow King]

BK are you going to post your complete tally at the end of the season?

Yep I will for sure. I am really keen for Hodge to pick up the 3 today and he's in the mix @ 1/2T.

 

[AjsGuns]

Agree
3. Montagna
2. Jack Voldt
1. Goddard

for the first half, lids/cotchin/dal santo all very good as well.

 

[AjsGuns]

3. Montagna
2. Jack Reiwoldt (got the medal so usually its a gaurenteed 3 however i feel Montagna was BOG)
1. Dal Santo

Would switch Goddard and Dal Santo except Goddard gave the umpire a spray.

Goddard always sprays them and the umps must hate him.

Hodge's knee injury cost him any chance of a vote.
