2012 Brownlow Thread

[one-eyed]

If Cotch wins the Brownlow we'll be the first club to have both the Coleman and Brownlow medal winners (different players) in 27 years. In 1985, Brad Hardie and Simon Beasley won the double for the Dogs, while Tony Lockett won both medals in the same year in 1987 when he was with the Saints.

Why is Swallow at $51 at centrebet and $251 at sportsbet given North played finals and he is the highest odds player for North?

The AFL website has a Brownlow predictor going. They've done the first six rounds and have Josh Kennedy leading with 13 votes. Cotch, Lids and Grigg all have just 3 votes each.

Sounds about right.  Cotch will poll better in the back half of the season but will it be enough?

[Stripes]

Ablett should be the outright favourite with Thompson & Watson second. 

Interesting that they only had Cotch down for 3.  He was awarded the best on ground for the Dreamtime game so there's 3 votes alone. Throw in the Melbourne game, West coast (best afield in a tight contest) and many other games where he was in the best despite losing and will likely pinch a couple of 2s or 1s. Think he should be double that at least by the end of round 6.

After 12 rounds Scott Thompson is on 19. Danger field hasn't stolen many votes unlike the collingwood spread.  Thompson is looking pretty good.

They had Cotch down for 12 votes (I had him down for 14 fwiw) after 12 rounds. His second half of the season was much better than his first so expect him to poll around 20 votes for rounds 13 - 23.

Thompson is looking dangerous but Dangerfield steps up in the second half which hopefully takes votes off him.

Should be interesting. I just hope it doesn't turn out like usual and Cotch gets no where near it..

Why would it matter? if he doesn't finish top for does that mean his season was a fail in your eyes?

this season was the stepping stone for CHIMP to
let the football know he has arrived.

this medal has lost its appeal i reckon over the last
few years.

with so many awards now its just another piece
to hang around ones neck.
