During that Brownlow count I was rooting for Priddis and Dal Santo as the two of them surprised throughout, polling way more votes than predicted. Priddis didn't end up finishing in the top 10, but Dal Santo managed to continue polling well and finished an impressive 3rd.
I realised with 2 rounds to go that Swanny had it won no matter what. He was ahead of Mitchell by like 2 votes and ahead of Dal Santo by 6, so no matter what Swanny had himself a Brownlow. It was just a matter of if it was a tie for first or if he legit got the most votes. Quite thankful Mitchell didn't finish 1st because that would've majorly sucked.
The 2 favourites were Judd and Goodes, but personally I didn't think either of them would win. I honestly thought the likes of Pendlebury, Thomas and Cloke would take votes from Swanny, leaving guys like Boyd and Ablett to fight it out, but Swanny polled record numbers. Well done to him on a great season, but I hope Geelong smash the Pies. I can't fucking stand Collingwood, especially after last week when they stole the win.
