Not that I'm huge into betting but I do bet on the Brownlow every year.
I just checked Sportsbet and Bont is outright favourite at $2 now.
Which is significantly shorter odds than the $16 I got on him at the start of the year.

And as much as I want to see the Bont win the Brownlow, it will be somewhat a shallow victory if he only wins it because Daicos doesn't play the last 3 games. Although players miss games every year that decide outcomes so I think a can live with a Brownlow for Bont

Bont is better than Daicos if he wins he deserves it

I reckon Daicos is a great player in a great team whereas Bont is a superstar in a good team.
I agree if Bont wins he thoroughly deserves it.
Re: The League Injuries Thread
Good to see the injuries start mounting up and Collingwood. Daicos and Murphy out for extended periods.

Agree. Diacos a star no doubt, but Bont is the most influential player in the league.
Re: The League Injuries Thread
I went through the last 10 Brownlow Medalists. They are all in the top 4 for contested possessions.
Bont is currently #1 in the league.
Dacios is currently #40 in the league.
I'm not saying Daicos doesn't deserve it if he wins it. However, it will be a big shift from who normally wins the Brownlow. That is midfielders who can win their own ball and do something creative with it.
When was the last time a receiver won the Brownlow?
Re: The League Injuries Thread

Contested possessions don't go back that far. But I do think he did get a lot handball receives but he was more than capable of winning his own baller Aker.
