So can anyone catch Ablett? He injury occured in Round 16. Rockliff also misses a game with injury and we all know how well Heppell ended the season.
It could be a close one - I don't even know the result yet!

Please note the club tallies give no consideration to which team the players were in at the time they scored votes, it is completely based on their end of season club or in Jono Brown's case, his former club.
RE-COUNT!!!!
Rockliff was robbed!!!!
Congrats Smooth. I'll let you win one early on the week so you don't feel completely bad come Sunday evening when I hold the cup aloft.

I think it's great that your team is so dependent on one player as evidenced by this win then.
Unfortunately for the Jobe-E-Wan Kenobi's we rely on an much more even spread of contributors, so much so that despite our star player out-averaging yours by 15 points he still couldn't win the medal due to his teammates taking votes off him.
Looking forward to seeing our two stars going head-to-head this weekend then… oh wait…. :P
