M.I.A. - Round 12, 2010 Wrap - 3, 2, 1 Votes.

As I reported in round 10, what was thought to be a season where only 3 or 4 players had a realistic chance at the Brownlow, has now blown out to include a number of other players as the likes of Ablett, Judd, and Hayes have dropped off in recent weeks. Whilst none of these players should be written off for a second, their perceived lack of votes from the umpires would suggest the run home to the Brownlow is going to be tight... very tight! And who would have thought, Hodge is currently in the lead according to my leaderboard?! But remember there is still a long way to go until Round 22, and anything can happen in regards to injury/suspension.

The positive to this, however, is that the top priced favorites are dropping in price in the short term and offer plenty of value - take Judd for example: he was at a ridiculous $9 a week ago, and now he is out to an astounding $15! Ahhh, gotta love it when the bookies write off champion players, with much of the season left to play; particularly one who is such a proven vote getter. V.A.L.U.E!

Also, the 'M.I.A.' heading also applies to myself, so just a quick apology to you readers out there for the late posting of the Round 12 votes. Let's just say that working sure does suck ass!
