It was always going to be an uphill battle for Gary to hold on to his lead with 7 games remaining. Even now with a month left of the premiership season to play, Joel Selwood has moved to within 1 vote of his ex-team mate, now on 22 votes. He's not alone up their however, Nat Fyfe's excellent form has him level with Selwood's count. Only two other players remain within striking distance of taking out footy's most coveted individual award - Josh Kennedy remains stuck on 18 votes (has missed out on votes now in the last 2 rounds), whilst Dayne Beams has come from nowhere to now be level in equal 3rd for those that are eligible. Franklin and Boak are next in line but are now 8 votes behind current leader Ablett, and 7 behind the chasing pack.
