Couldn't find the link online, but here's a rundown of todays News Ltd article..



Juddy in Brownlow contention? Up until this stage I hadn't considered the possibility. If he finishes the season strongly then I'd suggest he's a real chance.

We would need to win the next 5 games (votes generally go to players on the winning side), Ablett Jr would have to remain out injured, Bartel pole poorly and Judd play outstanding. I would imagine Judd has given A LOT of people a pretty big head start, so I would be pretty surprised if he could pull it off. Top 10 would be great, top 5 OUTSTANDING but winning it unlikely ............

I reckon Ratts reads The Ghost!

Don't be so sure about Ablett winning. Has missed the last 3 games already and not universally loved by the umps, so don't expect it to be a given.

Judd's going to go well in the Brownlow? In the box seat for the Chas, even? Teflon Terry will be stoked!

32 Disposals, 2 goals

A loosing game but Judd was instrumental and should poll a vote


Collingwood
26 Disposals

Doesn't look like much but he was BOG for mine. Fevola with 7 goals would probably poll the 3 votes but Judd should get 2.


Melbourne
26 Disposals, 3 goals

BOG. Hands down 3 votes.


Port Adelaide
32 Disposals

Was one of if not THE main reason we won. Kayne Cornes will poll but you would think Judd would get 2 or 3 votes for this one.


Western Bulldogs
32 Disposals

Easilly BOG. 3 Votes hands down.


He is indeed a proven performer and the umps love him.
At the moment, i see him polling about 10-12 votes for the season. We have 5 games left and Gary Ablett is injured. If Judd can string together votes in all of those games then hell yeah he's a chance.

Boomer Harvey hardly has anybody taking votes off him though so i'm guessing he'd be favourite now.

Gary Ablett has Joel Corey / Bartel / plus 3 or 4 others pinching votes from him.

Another roughy would be Brendon Fevola. He'd be similar to Judd's votes you would think with 4 dominating games that he effectivly won of his own boot.

I dont think he will win it.

But he sure will scare and make the last few games more interesting in the race

I dont think for a second he wouldnt have scored votes in the collingwood games. More so in Round 4 when he was still more injured then say Sundays efforts against the doggies, which in itself was a dominate display.

He might be up there. but may fall short. (unless the last 5 games are outstanding and ablett stays injured and plays crap and boomer breaks a leg)

Youd expect the kangas and geelong to fire from now... Judd is, Never know.

Id say Kreuzer took the 3 votes for the Port game for his ruck and last q heroics AND im a betting man.
