With 2 rounds to go, itā€™s down to a 3-horse race. Grundy currently leads by 4 from Jake Lloyd and Josh Dunkley. He needs 2 votes in the last 2 rounds to ensure he at least shares in the medal.

Dunkley still paying $67 for the Brownlow just quietly.

His back half of the year has been ridiculous. Over the year he has had 10 games with more than 30 touches. In 7 of those games heā€™s had at least 5 tackles.

Haha - glad I could provide some amusement. I enjoy doing it.

When we first started this comp back in 2012 this was just something I started doing. Now I have got it down pat it is relatively easy, still a bit of mucking around but not too bad. The good thing is that the data for the players can be used across purposes - ie games played for each club. My only issue is that now after 8 years I have so much data and not enough time to do what I would love to with it.

I was given a spreadsheet with the team handover that had all the results and all the votes etc.
I didnā€™t have time to deep dive this time around but hopefully for this years trade and draft period.

Surprised at the low vote total for my mob, but I guess that means itā€™s been a pretty even spread of scorers.
A champion team instead of a team of champions :stuck_out_tongue:

Taranto was the big surprise for me. Didnā€™t realise he went so large throughout the year.

Sorry it was a little remiss if me to point out that Grundy also won the Merv Neagle in 2018. So itā€™s back to back medals for him.

Iā€™m sure he will accept your apology.

Great read, Josh Kelly is the only bix not up for trade
