Looks pretty open at this stage.

Petracca into favourite after only a couple of games.

Who is your tip?

Hope C Daniel wins it. Doubt he is flashy enough to win it but will be in the minor votes

If BT, Richo, Lingy and the Hammer were the voting panel then yes.

I'd love Caleb Daniel to win it, his composure, awareness and vision in traffic is outstanding but it'll be mills or petracca in my mind. Mills consistency has been terrific and petraccas power is impressive. Might hurt him that he missed so much early though.

I've got all of them covered at good prices except Parish, so he'll probably win it lol.

Change my mind regularly and there's still a lot to play out, but If I had to tip one Id probably lean toward Daniel.

Some top end talent in this race and while he's not going to win it Darcy Byrne-Jones could argue he's been one of the most consistent performers of the nominated group. He also has come from nowhere as he wasn't a top pick or sighted last year as some of these others were. His best games aren't a glossy as some of the others here but he's rarely been beaten.

Any updated thouhts?

Weitering seems to have drifted a lot with the bookies. Must have had a quiet month.

Mills to win but not by a mile I wouldn't think
