I think he'll win it fairly easily. But I'm not one to predict injuries/suspensions.

Yes, but not unlikely for him to get another shoulder injury.  Got on Priddis at $34 just in case!  ;D

Holz

He isnt the fairest and should have been gone twice. So untill its changed from the Best and Fairest to the Best he doesn't deserve it.

Would be 10+ votes clear at this stage and only suspension or a long term injury will stuff it up for him from here

Worse stuff gets done off camera every second of every game. And at that level every player will/does at some point.

it's got to the point where i reckon he is getting special treatment as people will be up in arms if he wins and doesnt get the medal. Short of doing a barry hall and just punching someone out he is untouchable.

for the record I think you should be able to win if suspended but as thats not the rule he shouldnt win it as he should have been suspended.

Do you think his mistimed spoil on Duryea should have resulted in a suspension?

Given what people have be given suspensions for than yes. Going in like that with your elbow up is reckless and it resulted in head high contact.

Brownlow always has been for best and fairest. Maybe they need to make one of the other awards more prestigious like the coaches votes or players votes... Because you can win them whilst being suspended.

Afterall... whats prestigious about those green magots votes  :P. Jokesssss. But seriously... maybe these other awards are to be more valued then the brownlow...

I don't think anyone is stopping you (or anyone) from valuing them more, I totally understand that, but I still love the Brownlow, think it is the most prestigious purely because of its unpredictability.


On the topic... I reckon Hanners will surprise, or Priddis.

Brownlows better cos its done at end of year and no one knows whats gonna happen rather than the other awards. Plus there the betting for it to  :P.

I have Hanners and pendles tied for second. I dont have Priddis polling as well as what everyone else think he is going to. Gaff has snagged a lot of his votes i reckon!

Can't believe people seriously think Fyfe should have been suspended. What were you watching? Are you blind? Absolutely unbelievable.

Capper

he is on his last chance now though

Would say it's far from unbelievable. When people have got weeks for doing less and are actually looking at the ball.

I don't think he should of got weeks personally, but people this year have gotten weeks from doing less which is worrying,
