Can he win a Brownlow? I think he can if he plays on the midfield but he's playing more forward at the moment. Although it didn't matter on Saturday he played a lot of the game forward and was still most people's BOG.

He got maximum 10 votes in the coaches award as well

Should be interesting to see how he polls this year. Get a feel if the umpires like him , no reason why they shouldn't, he is not a sniper or back chats at all, just a smooth operator.
For what it's worth I think Hunter will do well.

I expect these players to poll quite well Bont, Hunter, Macrae, Daniel, Wallis, McLean

Interesting that the comment was made on telly when we played the Lions that on his day he is the best player in the comp. Good to see some in the media rate him.

Who in the media doesn't?

I did take note that Jon Ralph didn't have Bont in his squad off 40 for AA honours a week or so back, his lack of knowledge is astounding.

Saw that also. Surely Bont is a walk up start for half forward flank in the AA team this year (half forward being the way they can squeeze extra midfielders into the team - and where the goal kicking mids generally end up).

This table would suggest that he can win it. Franklin and Riewoldt consistently up there in brownlow voting. He's a chance wherever he plays.

In his 58 games of regular season footy the Bont has 10 x 3 votes, so in 17.2% games he gets the 3.

GAjnr leads this stat with 47 in 271, or 17.3%, but he didn't get his first 3 until he played 63 games.. His record between 100-250 games is amazing.

Yes he can win a Brownlow, not this year as he had a lean 4-5 weeks.

I forgot who it was but someone in the media (maybe Healy) didn't include Bont in a best players under 23 in the comp

If Dusty throws another cheapie before the season is out, Bont would be right in the mix this year.

Was thinking that. He had a good first 7 rounds, then a bad 7 rounds, now he's firing again. He gets a lot of best on's in our voting which usually means you're a good chance to poll when both teams are combined

Dusty has it in the bag but Bont would have to be on 15+ votes with 3 rounds left and would be in the conversation if he finished strongly and Dusty got suspended

Would you even want that Brownlow? You'd never hear the end of how rubbish you are for being the third best player in the comp.

It's all moot anyway, because Dusty could slit someone's throats on field and not go down for it. He was winning it even before Danger got rubbed out, and I'm sure the AFL is well aware of it.

Is it right he's only one more fine away from a suspension under the same 3 strike rule that Easton Wood missed a week under?

It could happen. Maybe.

I'd take it. Would be a nice reverse of the Grant fiasco.
