Who is Smokey for Brownlow Medal?

[CrowinPerth]

Stunned there is no Crows in the top 15, i know that no one player has really stood out, but they may end up with 15 wins, someone has to get the votes. Even though i dont really believe that a crow will win to think none it the top 15 is insane

 

[nintiwirri]

No one from Port?
Ablett is a gun but far too many handballs back and forth so he can get another handball/kick.
Whoever wins it ?
I hope it is deserved .
Unlike many previous winners whom don't rate in media awards but catch the umpires eye.
Warren Tredrea was the standout in most media awards in 2004 but Juddy got the gong.
Having said that.
Carey was the greatest player the World has ever seen and he missed out too.

 

[raikkonen]

Tyson Edwards

Thompson and Edwards were in the next 5 listed.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Does Dane Swan qualify as a smokey?

 

[AG]

Does Dane Swan qualify as a smokey? Montagna's another one.

They would both probably qualify as favourites.

 

[Bubba_5]

Whoever polls best out of Cooney, Higgins and Boyd could potentially poll very well.

Higgins is at juicy odds.

 

[CrowinPerth]

Yeah Higgins to place my be a good bet, not sure of the odds, Scott Thompson is 81/1 to place would assume higgins maybe around that price

 

[potatomasher]

Didak, been getting serious votes in the last 5-6 weeks, pretty close to the full 3 for each game, although he hasn't really turned it on tonight. Will definitely outpoll Swan I reckon.

Hayes, as has been mentioned, should be much more of a favourite. Same with Montagna.

 

[Big Blow Hard]

I would have said Jobe Watson before the carlton match

Still a good smokey.

as someone else mentioned. Dane Swan would be my smokey.
Goodes gets votes just for turning up so he will go close again.

 

[Subaru Impreza]

also Daniel Rich has to be one of the best long shots for brownlow right , another great game by him 31 possessions

 

[AhSteveSteve27]

I know its unheard of for a first year player but Daniel Rich will get up there. I have him on 9 votes atm, and could well be on more, standout midfielder (especially early before Black really got going) in a rising team (see Cooney, Mitchell, Swan, Thompson etc over the last few years). Also liking Pendlebury at long odds, doesn't need to touch the ball a hell of a lot and goes unnoticed. Bernie Vince and Sam Gilbert aswell, could both bolt unexpectedly.

 

[AhSteveSteve27]

beaten.

 

[AhSteveSteve27]

Dane Swan would be my smokey.

Also wouldn't call $4 a smokey.

 

[Big Blow Hard]

Also wouldn't call $4 a smokey.

Who cares. Anyone outside of Ablett and Judd is a smokey in my book.

 

[Trjn]

Seeing as Hayes and Black at in the top 15, that only leaves Higgins as someone I'd put down as a smokey.

If Drummond didn't miss so many games, I'd have him in there too.

Also, Rich to get 10+ votes.

 

[braggingrights]

Brian Lake.

agreed.....Lake will poll well.

 

[AhSteveSteve27]

Tru dat. Am surprised a bit, I reckon the bookies have it pretty close to exactly right this year. But that is the beauty of brownlow night, the surprises and the drinking games.

 

[Big Blow Hard]

agreed.....Lake will poll well.

Daniel Cross has been really good also. Might be alot of votes shared around the Doggy camp.

 

[krayfesh]

If Judd wasn't taking all our votes, I'd say Murphy will poll well.

Or Fev if he keeps this form up. 5+ goals usually gets the job done vote-wise, right?

 

[crowsarethebest]

Get on Scotty Thompson. He is loved by umpires, always polls well and he's had a very consistent year. Can't really remember to many bad games and not many will steal votes from him.

 

[T Rick]

I reckon montagna is a shoe in for top 3.

 

[Juddy88]

Daniel Rich.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Here's one - Ryan Griffen. Liked his year - been consistently good.
Also like Winderlick on long odds.
It all counts for naught I believe as the umpires love Judd and I can't see him getting less that 23 votes already, probably more.
