Demon Brownlow Betting

[scully31 0]

OK, so i want to bet on monday nights brownlow medal. I thought i would have a crack at the most votes for Melbourne category.

Its out of:

James Frawley - $2.75

Brad Green - $3.00

Colin Sylvia - $4.00

Any other player - $8.50

Brent Moloney - $9.00

Tom Scully - $34.00

Who would you bet on and why?

[GRUN DEE 69]

Green $3. Match winning performances.

Expect Cam Bruce to poll well for us. $8.50 is great value.

I did my own Brownlow count and (being a little biased) had Sylvia in the mid-teens, one vote ahead of Green.

Take both of them, it's too hard to split.

[Daz's Dee's 113]

Jamar?

[Nasher 33,607]

Save your money?

This is where my money will be lost.

Well, I don't see anybody else possibly leading the votes for Melbourne, so if you bet evenly on both of them you should make a profit.

Then again, I'm 15...

Green should do ok with a few bags of goals. Looking at players who have polled votes over the years, Bruce has received most so I would imagine he will be thereabouts after an ok season. Sylvia from memory polled 5 last season, with a few more wins this season and closer contests with some good games - I expect he may go close. Unsure on Frawley despite recognition in house and among the Dees faithful.

I would be inclined to go Sylvia at $4.00 ahead of Frawley & Green. Green will give you good sight I would imagine. The B&F supports this. However, the umpires are a different breed.

If I was after value though (which I have been known to chase at times), at $8.50 you could support either Bruce and Jamar to do well and wish for a surprise.

Good luck.

Here's my guess for top 5 in Brownlow at Dees (in order):

Sylvia $4.00

Frawley $2.75

Green $3.00

Jamar $8.50

Bruce $8.50

Save your money-- but if it is a must--an other player @$8.50 is the way I'd go. Wouldn't be surprised if Tom Scully polls well.However, I feel the votes will be very mixed.

[Jaded No More 67,609]

Sylvia for top votes by a Melbourne player. When he's on, he is eye catching.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

I picked Green. But it's not an easy one, like Richmond.

[H_T 3,032]

Sylvia for top votes by a Melbourne player. When he's on, he is eye catching.

Inside the mind of an umpire...

Here is my attempt at guessing the umpires votes having gone through the games best - of course taking into consideration the opposition: -

Sylvia - 13

Frawley - 11

Jamar - 8

Moloney - 6

Green - 5

Davey - 3

Miller - 3

Junior - 2

Scully - 2

Bruce - 1

Trengove - 1

Petterd - 1

Total = 56 votes

slow saturday I know..
