St Kilda: no one stands out

Agree TOO. No one has mentioned Yeo, but he’s had too many taking votes off him.

I admit i only watch Carlton games but Patrick Cripps has been huge will go close.

Grundy and Cripps must be the two fav’s. I think Grundy will win, he’s a bit of a Cox clone the way he plays but has taken it to a new level, both would be worthy winners.

You would have to be adventurous to back a forward, a backman or a ruckman.

From memory Jimmy Stynes was the last of those to win, and the game is way, way different now from the early 90s.

Cripps for me.

Would think Brodie Grundy would be right up there.But going on the last 2 Brownlows .Brodie has been well down on what people think he should of polled.
One Smokey for me is Travis Boak Port Adelaide. Maby 4 or 5 or 6 bog’s this year for Port.

Just finished analysing the season’s form & find Grundy has NO Hope.
Leading after rd 21 is Bontempelli (26), Tim Kelly (24), Fyfe (23), Dangerfield (21), Neale (20), Cripps & Shuey (19), Boak (17), Grundy 15
Dunkley & Macrae are robbing the Bont. Zorko from Neale & Yeo from Shuey.. Cripps lack of wins
The Kelly/Dangerfield is crucial.. Grundy has too many mids dragging him. Two games to go.

Dusty, 8 votes. :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

It will be a travesty if Bontempelli gets up.

After watching the video, I was surprised (well… not really, given how the MRO works) that he wasn’t suspended for a pretty crude and late bump.

It now appears he should have been, given the gravity of the injury to Haynes:

Looks like Dangerfield or Fyfe with Bontempelli 3rd.
Will be close.

Hope it’s not Dangerfield I can’t stand the bloke another FIGJAM.

I hope Grundy wins, how long since a ruckman or KPP has won the medal, he would be a very deserving winner.

Looks like Dangerfield or Fyfe with Bontempelli 3rd.
Will be close.
