My pick, Selwood, finished sixth at the Cats, which is my worst result for the season, while the winner, Enright, I had fourth - also my worst result. However, when 16 votes separates first and 10th, there's no surprise this could happen.
But, as a result.....

The Great Adam Goodes' win in the Bobby Skilton medal scores another point for my tips, with the Ryan O'Keefe and Josh Kennedy's top five predictions also coming to fruition, while Jarrad McVeigh (10th) and Jude Bolton (????) being surprising by their low rankings. Rhyce Shaw and Ted Richards' efforts have always been much more appreciated inside the club than out, and it doesn't surprise me that they polled so well in the Bobby while hardly being named in the best players all season. Congratulations to all the award winners and to the Swans on their initiative to televise the night online - well done!

I was correct in having Stanton at second at Essendon. David Zaharakis came from fourth to win - a similar result to Enright at Geelong - in a straight swap with Jobe, who finished fourth.
Pendlebury, Swan and Cloke represents the top three in order at Collingwood, while Davis' fifth was also tipped. Luke Ball took Dale Thomas' fourth spot, but I'm happy with this result.
Once again the lack of recognition of defenders in the media's best players can prove an issue, with Darren Glass winning at the Eagles. He was named in the best just five times, three of those at the bottom of the list, and was ranked 15th in the club. However, West Coast, I would think, are the only club that does countbacks, and with Matt Priddis polling the same number of votes as Glass, I'm going to claim this one (Don't be surprised if he wins retrospectively down the track when they come to their senses). My second pick, Cox, was third, while Shuey got his top five finish.

I got four of the top five at St Kilda, with our own Premiership Hero Sean Dempster replacing Brendon Goddard in the top five. Well done to Dempster on a top three finish. Fisher, however, was my fourth pic, while my choice, Dal Santo, was second by three votes, so.....
Another win for Matthew Pavlich at Fremantle completes the 17 winners, and I'm quite happy to say I've landed 12 of them. Not a bad result, and vindication for the time spent (some would say wasted) on putting my rankings together. The Dockers matched with four out of five, with McPharlin replacing Sandilands in the five, and Sandi was sixth. So it all finishes at....
