2019 AFL Brownlow Medal Winner
Favourites in the betting
Dustin Martin ($6)
A fit firing Dustin Martin is scary. Plays the MCG so well and is an elite ball winner and a genuine goal kicker which umpires love. He is my favourite to win his second Brownlow medal.
Nat Fyfe ($6.50)
Coming off a interrupted pre-season and didn't play many games last year. He is Freo's best player by the distance of the Nullarbor. Freak in the air and on the ground will poll well. Problem is how many games will Freo win.
Patrick Cripps ($9)
Patrick Cripps is a bull and a contested beast. Had an awesome year last year as the Blues battled at the bottom of the ladder but with his team mates gaining match experience he will be getting a lot cleaner ball and umpires already love him. Expect to poll well.
Josh Kelly ($13)
Another pre season under his belt will not do Kelly's Brownlow chances any harm. Looks set to re-sign with the Giants early in 2019. Can win outside ball, inside ball and kicks goals. Left sided player which makes it tough for opposition teams to tag him. He is the Giants game winner in 2019. Big season ahead.
Prediction
As previously mentioned, Cripps is a bull around the stoppages and has elite hands and kicking and many didn't know about his great vision. Can kick goals and great motor so can run games out. Expect to poll well and with the Blues improving, he will be right up there when the whips are cracking.
Best bet: Patrick Cripps at $9
