Obviously, I would love and Essendon player to win the Brownlow soon, but I just can't see anyone on our list at the moment going close. Some of our younger players might step up this year and provide something for me to change my mind though....
Stannas got 14 votes last year (I think) off half a fit season and half unfit.

Stanton only received 5 votes last year.
Brownlow, I mean Stants!
Considering it's a midfielders medal, I don't think any of our current crop have much have a chance (Paddy has the ability but isn't the type to win a brownlow). The only possibilities in my mind are the virtual unknowns; Myers, Hislop & Jetta.
what the hell am I thinking of? I have no idea...

Best chance for a Essendon player to get a brownlow is Stanton in my opinion. He works really hard makes the mistake or to occasionally but he is still young and will only get better.
He is very consistent but just needs to be more damaging with his disposal he will defiantly poll well

Cousins.
All he has to do is rock up next year in red and black.
He's already got one!

I am sure we will have another before Thomas Hird, but I am looking forward to the day Hirdys lads are in the side. That will be another golden era for EFC. How old are they anyway, how long till we can nab em?
By the time the next generation of Hirds are done, we will be upto or beyond 20 premierships!

Some bloke.... Floyd? Goes alright in the forward line, think he's a left-footer
It's a bit hard to predict the future Brownlow vote-winners for us
I'm guessing here, but I'd say Hird had about as many votes as the rest of our list combined
Umpies tended to give him votes whenever we won, because he caught the eye, was a past winner, fair player etc
If we start winning games without him they're going to have to start opening their eyes
If Lovett can start getting more 20-25 touch games, he'll poll votes. Can be a very damaging player, I dare say he catches the eye with the spark & pace. Inconsistency is the killer
Jobe Watson in 2008!!!
I'm already on for $5 at 350-1
Couldn't agree more - improves his kicking a bit more and he is a definite chance, ball magnet, hard at it and I'm on board at that $351 as well... Everyone talks up Stanton, but I'd take Watson over him every day of the week.
As well they should, Stanton is a proven vote getter.
Red Black and Blue
Brownlow Medallist
Surprised noone has said Winderlich yet, very flashy; Monfries or Dempsey.
You'd have to say Stanton is top of the list. With the famous number 5 on his back now, he's sure to get the attention of the umpires. He's fitter than ever and with the motivaion to do the number proud, I think Stants is in for a massive year. May not win the Brownlow this year but one day you'd think so.
Agree he could be in for a massive year, but don't think the 5 on his back will make umpires notice him anymore than his 24.
