G'day all, just thought I'd share my Brownlow standings after Round 5. They are:

C. Judd - 10

A. McLeod - 9

D. Kerr - 8

S. Thompson - 8

C. Cornes - 7

A number of players are on 6 and 5 votes, but already Judd and Kerr look good. Based on mine, a value bet might be on Scotty Thompson. Amazingly he is at a massive $251 to win the medal, and $63.50 to place. I think I'll just pop off to invest $5 each way!

Thoughts?

are you watching every game or highlights packages? just out of interest.

and who were your top few last year and where did they finish? how do you rate yourself compared to the umps?

I make it a mission of mine to watch every game on replay on Fox Sports. So far I've been able to, through the magic of technology, I've taped the games. If I do miss one, I generally look in the papers to see who got votes and then look at players named in the best, stats etc.

Last year, I had Brad Johnson and Adam Goodes finishing in a tie. Goodes obviously won the medal and Johnson was a close third from memory. I had Goodwin second, and Bell third. Overall, i thought i did alright last year. I actually won some money on Goodes based on my voting!!

I enjoyed your posts last year, you obviously do a lot more research then most. glad to see you are giving it another crack.

Out of curriosity have any melbourne players polled, also how about Hamish Macintosh?

what about burgoyne, surely he would be up there from what ive read and heard from the commentators and footy shows

Funnily enough, the only Melbourne player to poll so far is Adem Yze. I gave him one vote against Fremantle. No-one else has polled, though I almost gave a vote to Ricky Petterd last week.

Hamish McIntosh has polled 4 votes so far. I've given him 2 votes the last two weeks. He is playing well the big fella.

Shaun Burgoyne is not far off. He is on 6 votes, and certaintly is worth a thought. Class player.
