My gut feel is that outside players tend to ride hype in the leadup to the count but then are ignored by the umpires when the actual votes come out. So if I were looking for a bet it would be that Gulden doesn't poll as well as the AFL predictor suggests.

Very good player, but umpires love a clearance.

Gulden did surprisingly well last year coming fourth with 27 votes.
 
It's so hard to be in the Top 3 players on the ground. Like in the Freo game against GWS Brayshaw got 41 possessions, Serong 24 and 2 goals and the winning team was only determined in the last couple of minutes of the final quarter - but you can't see either player getting Brownlow votes over Hogan, Daniels and Green.

Serong got coached votes in rounds 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,12,15,16,18,19,20,22, and 23.
He was in the top three vote getters in rounds 1,2,7,8,9,10,16,19,20, and 22. Converting coaches votes into Brownlow votes sees him get 23 votes.
He's already 1 BOG ahead of this count.
