Guys, As Mr.J is always telling us, you need to look for an edge when gambling.
To win the medal you need to play in the midfield. END OF STORY.You cant get a better leg up than that.
Next year we should just back all the best midfielders at the start of the year and then have a winning night come September.

Totally right. I can't believe I paid attention to all the 'experts'. Some of my team bets look totally stupid now, but they all seemed to make sense when I put them on.

The hird one was stiff. He got rorted in the rd3 clash against west coast.He didnt even get a vote when he was so clearly b.o.g.
The umpires didnt forgive him 4 his comments on the footy show that day!!

Yeah, I couldn't believe that. He was really the ONLY reason they won that night.

Can anyone tell me how the votes are awarded for the AFL club best and fairest awards, because when I saw the winners from each team, I thought they were generally more realistic and deserving winners than the ones who got the most votes for each team at the Brownlow. For example, Tredrea instead of Cornes, Ling instead of Bartel and Hall instead of Kirk. Personally, it's a bit frustrating because if the results had been the same on Brownlow night, I would have won with 8 out of my 10 team bets, instead of only 5 out of 10. Damn umpires!!!

Can't help much with that Sportz,but I think points are awarded for the top 5 players.
Also when a team plays poorly,Zero Brownlow votes,but in team voting the best of a bad lot still get votes.
Question for MugPunta.If Hird gets the 3 votes for Round (kiss and cuddle) does he win the Essendon team voting?

Actually, I'm not sure that he would have won even with 3 points from that game Mo.

McPhee also won the Essendon best and fairest, so I'm not complaining. It was my own damn fault for backing a player who missed several games through injury. The fact that Hird got ZERO votes for that round was totally ridiculous however.
