they said if gary ablett didn't win the brownlow in 2008, he'll never win one after the season he had....

come to think of it, they said that in 2007 as well...

whats going to be the excuse this year? i've already heard he has a groin injury and will miss this week....

Anyway i had big bet on Dane Swan to win it this year @ $101, he's been thereabouts last 2 years and i think he'll really come into his own this year....only been outshone by leon davis at collingwood this season, and we know how the umps love to give the votes to mids, and swan is a proven vote getter. already into $29 just a few rounds in, i'm hoping he can go on with it!

Other possibilities? I don't think it will be any of ablett, bartel, selwood...... i think Judd is a major chance, Dal Santo's been in great form and Sewell's last few games have been incredible.


One things for sure, i'll be staying right away from Dean Cox!!!!

i've had early bets chris judd..dane swan & scott pendlebury..the latter in particular is one of the most skilled and talented players in the league imo..

How could anyone take the short odds on offer about Gary Ablett? They're also gambling that he stays injury free.

who'd believe it....

I believe Riewoldt does have a chance....

Do they count until Grand Final?

no, only the regular season.

I just think that Saints have so many guys taking votes off each other. and i know people will say that bartel won in 07 etc. but this year Riewoldt, Goddard, Montagna, Dal Santo, Hayes will all have quite a few votes and i just can't see any of them winning

It's very open. Has Collingwoods's Swan previously attracted the umpires' votes?
He does look a great show. What about everyone who took the shorts about Gary Ablett? I wonder what they're doing now? Counting their losses?
