Round 10 has come and gone, and in its wake is a number of games where the votes should be very clear cut.
Friday night saw the first of many upsets, with a few lesser-lights from the Bombers really evening their tally up. Anyone of Jetta, Winderlich or Stanton may get the three, where the dogs slim chance of picking up a vote rest with their inform ruckmen Ben Hudson.
Geelongs systematic demolition of Melbourne should bring another 3 votes to Joel Selwood - whilst GAJ and the j-Pod are a flip of the coin for the minor votes. Selwood is making a steady rise up the leaderboard, and those that jumped on him a few weeks ago at mid $60 odds would be rubbing their hands together.
Richmonds first win of the year will bring about its first three - and an unexpected Shane Tuck will collect that here. His display was so emphatic that Im nominating him for the three of the week - although Montagna and Gibbs should be pretty safe too...
Dal Santo should be safe for two votes in the St Kilda game - it always seems that he and Montagna seem to play well together, whereas when Hayes is on he often does it alone. Dal Santo has ingrained himself in the middle of the chasing pack, and is one of the most in-form players in the comp after polling in each of the last 3 weeks.
Luke Powers three is relatively safe too, with Dale Thomas and Daniel Rich the biggest threat. Regular vote-getters Black and Brown werent far off the mark either.
Two Swans players should pick up votes in their narrow loss to Hawthorn. Hannebery picked up his second BOG for the year, and is really shaping up as a decent smokie for the Rising Star award. Lewis was the Hawks best, whilst Mummy should out-poll Mitchell, Rioli and Franklin.
Murphys two should be pretty safe behind Gibbs massive three, whilst anyone of Walker, Judd, Scotland and Gartlett will fight it out for the one.
Whilst the race for Freos leading votegetter has always seemed a race between three, David Mundy is fast changing that outlook, capping off a fine month of football and picking up his first BOG. Bradley continues to suprise and should pick up votes for the second consecutive week (Bradley/Trengove MPP anybody???), and talented youngsters Fyfe and Ballantyne will fight out the final vote of the round.
Abletts two puts him back in the lead, and the bookmakers seem to agree, shortening him into <$3 for the first time this year. Judd is now into double figures and Hodge is the only other player < 20/1. As the leaderboard over the page shows, its a little closer than that...
