My Predictions

1. Joel Selwood

2. Scott Pendlebury

3. Justin Westhoff

4. Jesse Smith

5. Nathan Jones

Unlucky- Shannon Hurn, and Mark Lecras. One should be in the top 5 but i doubt that they will be.

Did'nt think Lecras would get a sniff, well done Westhoff tho.
If he played the whole year he may have been up there.
Has he got another year?

No I think it's 5 games and then no longer eligible.

10 games actually so if Collingwood lose this week, Marty Clarke will still be eligible next year.

Was always going to win Selwood, all voters gave him 5 except one.

Hurn was a good effort to finish 5th just ahead of Jesse Smith.

Pretty poor that LeCras didnt get a vote considering he has kicked 33 goals as a small forward..

Think Nathan Jones will be a great player.
Brilliant year, hard at it.
Got no hair tho, his only weakness.

Heard Ricky Petterd was "crushed and speechless" when he heard the result.
Apparently it took his breath away.

Apparently he is off ordering Selwood rising star t-shirts on the back it has written "Travis who??? Thanks Port Power"

Selwood has had a top year and so have the cats. Selwood would go good in our best and fairest count. Now lets see if Ablett can win the brownlow.

Would have been nice is Westoff had won considering his Mum works for the sponsor!

Pretty obvious winner. Selwood has had a brilliant first year. Whether he becomes the pick of the bunch remains to be seen, but Geelong have certainly got good value in their first 12 months.
