Mitchell has rnd 23 off but played well against the suns in Rnd 24. Looks like swannie is almost home.

[Dissident]

Swan doesn't do much for me as a player... but gees I hope he polls more than Mitchell

[Hondo]

So at best now Judd can only match Swan as he only has 2 games left. I recall he had a quieter round 24 too.

Final top 3

Swan
Mitchell
Dal Santo

Guess the umpires did think back to last year. That said a well deserved award, maybe the trip away did the trick.

[Q.]

Most votes ever for a winner?

Most votes ever for a winner?

Yep, previous best was 32.

[Johno6]

well that hurt to watch, talkin swan up all year to win then only backing him top 5.

well done swanny pendles stiff, 8 votes after round 12

[Jim05]

Well done to Swan, glad the umps got it right this year.
Huge congrats to Ablett, the absolute best player in the comp. To poll that many votes in a crap side is amazing, Ablett will win another 2 or 3 Brownlows if GC can win a couple more games

[Q.]

I'm getting on Mitchell as soon as a market for next year is put up

[Dissident]

23 votes in a three win season is pretty amazing.

[Dissident]

Really glad Mitchell didn't poll the most votes - but really happy he polled the second most considering the year he's had (on and off the field)

[Q.]

Can't wait to hear Swanny's speech. Should be at his acerbic best

[gadj1976]

I'm getting on Mitchell as soon as a market for next year is put up

even if he's at the Giants Quichey?

I reckon Ablett is a chance next year. He had an interrupted pre season, played in a side that's only going to get better and obviously is a vote getter. I remember when he signed up for the Suns he was $8 cos I was going to put money on it. Glad I didn't but still, he's got to be a chance if they win 6 or 7 games next year (despite others possibly taking votes of him!).
