The Brownlow - 2019

[Bornadog]

We have Bont, Macrae and Dunks who should poll well, but will any of them go all the way?

What are your predictions for who will win? Will there be a joint winner this year - I am thinking there will, with so many good players out there and all polling well.

Re: The Brownlow - 2019

If I bet, my money would be on Bonts or Cripps who won the coaches award and players award respectively. I think Kelly May take a big chunk of votes off Dangerfield. Bonts has that risk with Macrae & Dunkley likely to poll well. Cripps has Murphy & Walsh to contend with. Bonts would’ve done better if he nailed a few more goals to maybe get an extra vote here of there, but his body of work should have him up there for a close run thing.

Macrae will be a big show.

Fwiw the only player to scoop all 3 in the last decade was Dusty in 2017.

I backed both the Bont (26/1) and Macrae (21/1) early in the season

Outside of Danger and Kelly there aren't any other cats that are expected to poll well. With 16 wins there are enough votes for both to be at the pointy end of the leaderboard.

Murphy and Walsh will be lucky to get a handful of votes between them, don't think they will take many from Cripps.

Our biggest problem with producing a winner is having 3 players that could all push 20 votes but only having 12 wins. They are surely going to cannibalise each others votes.

BROWNLOW MEDAL OMEN? SUPERIOR BONT won at Healesville yesterday for owner Jodie Wynd, wife of 1992 Western Bulldogs Brownlow Medallist Scott Wynd.

Marcus Bontempelli is among the favourites to take Charlie home tonight.

That's the potential problem. Cripps might just Steven Bradbury pass everyone.

I was later to the party, and took 20s for the Bont.

I reckon that you guys will get a return on your investment tonight. The Bont will win easily.

Nat Fyfe comes from nowhere?

Re: The Brownlow - 2019

27 to Fyfe
14 to Bonti

This is why umpires shouldn't vote, NFI!

Only 4 St Kilda players with more Brownlow votes than Bruce. The same Bruce leaving there to come here.
