Disagree Twiz. Ablett has had a good season but he has missed 3 games this year. My money is on either Brent Harvey or Simon Black (who would have been leading 3 weeks ago anyway - he has had about 6 or 7 BOG's). Ablett may win it, but it is not clear cut. Griff, I doubt Bartel will win it, has not been that good until the past month.

Even so he is doubtful, Black and Ablett will go top 2. Cooney will probably be up there and so will Mitchell and Kirk. I know Bartel is a proven "vote getter" but I'd be surprised if he gets a top 6 finish this year. That is not to say he hasn't played well.

Ablett has taken alot of votes from Bartell and he's missed 3 games but I still think he would be leading and he's back against the Tigers next week.

Bartell hasn't been as good as he was last year

Twiz Bartel has closed the odds up a bit since i did that bet he has come in from 11.00 to 5.50 with Gary Ablett at 2.70

IMO he still a chance

No chance, the top 3 in no particular order will be Ablett, Simon Black (Bris), Cooney (WB), Brett Kirk may snare a place. Bartel will be on the next line of players.

Simon Black would have been leading. In fact many have predicted he was about 3-4 votes ahead when Ablett went down injured. Luckily for Ablett, Brisbane and Black have been poor the last 2 weeks, so he could still win it, but imo these two will fight it out for the Brownlow

I got Black at $32 and he has looked the goods all year, him or Ablett will win it. Bartel won't as frankly apart for maybe 5 games he has not had a great season. Ablett, Corey and Selwood have been better this season than Bartel.

Reiwoldt is a proven vote getter and with the exception of last week he could easily have gotten 4 best on grounds out of the previous 5 games.

If I had to put money on anyone it would be Cooney from the dogs.

Cooney is a chance, Reiwolt is no hope as he has been awful except for his last month.

Selwood would have got the 3 possible 2 to Mackie.

I think it would have been a raffle for the 1 point but in the wet you can bet it will be one of the smaller blokes or midfielders, Jimmy could be a show.

Son of God wouldn't have got a vote
