Adam Goodes Brownlow 3?

[AnnieH]

All we need is a "1" from Round 3 if it means the difference between Goodesy getting charlie over someone else.
Only need to win it by 1 (or tie - I'll be happy with a tie!!).

I'm thinking about 20 votes, and that's probably with a hint of bias. Not enough.

Dont forget umpires frown on persisstant appeals for FREE KICKS

QUOTE:

Judd is unlikely to poll any votes in the final month of the season and this has left betting agency sportsbet.com.au extremely nervous.

The bookie paid out on Judd winning the award at the start of last month.

It conducted its own phantom count and had Goodes finishing just two votes behind Carlton star.

"We have had plenty of movement on Adam Goodes and are starting to regret paying out on Judd," the agency's Haydn Lane said.

Why would you pay out early?

Wouldn't be the first time a betting agency has paid out early and later regret it. Case in point the NRL this year with the Bookies paying out early on St George winning the Premiership, which now is looking shaky.

I'm not sure he was quite good enough in the 1st half of the season to win it to be honest - but he will be top 5 I think and if Judd's votes are cannabalised a bit by Murphy in the early rounds of the season, he might be in with a sniff. I expect the love in with Judd will continue and he will probably win it comfortably.

It was actually on the Minor Premiership which Saints ended up being about 10 points or so behind in. St George still might win the Premiership though - I hope so anyway!

As much as I'd like Goodesy to win it, the cynic in me thinks this could be a concocted story to entice people to lose their money betting on Goodes.

Must say I thought the same thing. For the betting agencies, enticing people to bet on Goodesy softens the financial blow of a Judd win. (Go Goodesy!)

[31 hard at it]

Goodes the only Swan nominated in the All Australian Squad.
An outstanding finish to the year .... and hopefully through the finals.

[hot potato]

Judd is consistently classy and brilliant. His ability to find a team mate in heavy traffic often defies belief and watching it as the umps do from close up must be pretty convincing.
I would say Judd wins the Brownlow by as much as 5.

[Matimbo]

I got on him about mid-season at 15:1 and 4 for the place. Looking ok, that.

Yeah, I got on at 17:1 and about 5s for 2nd or 3rd - probably a bit earlier than mid-season. It was really the place bet I thought was worth the punt. Here's hoping.

[fanciful]

I mentioned in another thread, but I put $20 on at $21. Kicking myself that I didn't go an e/w bet.

[Plugger1300]

I bet on him at 30-1 start of the season after his great preseason. From memory i went $30 each way but now i have to try and find the ticket to make sure i was clever enough to do so.
In saying this i think Judd will win with a record vote tally

[Scottee]

Basically tells me nothing, but may show he's not a real chance. What it DOES show is that Ryan O'Keefe has had a brilliant year, possibly winning his second B&F!

I think ROKs stats look better than they actually are because many of the stats were quick kicks out of a pack which resulted in turnovers. Goodes stands out because of his impact and spectacular play rather than just his numbers. I would think that Jude could poll better than ROK.

Would prefer he won the Norm Smith medal
