Funnily enough, while Ablett scored 30 points in both the SuperCoach B&F AND the real Brownlow, Montagna and Swan were well underneath what they scored here.

Outside of that though, it looked to rate fairly with the team winners. (Which I might add, can spring for some *very* tasty multis when you get it right.)

Which brings me to a brownlow experiment that Ill be trying next year. Basically, Ill be creating an interface for anyone to enter their opinion one their 3-2-1s, with a grand plan being to average it out, and clean up at the Brownlow next year... Anyone interested?
