By the way, if Swan wins this it will be his sixth victory in eight years. :shock:

Pendlebury is still yet to ever win one.

Swan finally hits the front in round 21 after trailing Pendlebury by as many as 15 votes earlier in the season. Can he hold on? Who played respectably in our last two games?

Well, Swan got the "best finals player" award at the Copeland, so there's a bit of a hint.

So our top 5 is the same (different order) as the Copeland is it not?

Pretty impressive for a bunch of nuffies.

Some people are suggestion Swanny will get the 5 votes against Port. If he does, Pendles will need 2 votes to tie it and 3 or more to win outright. Of course, there's also the possibility that Marley Williams or someone else could steal the 5.

We await the final tally with bated breath, Cuthbert old chap. :)

(I'm going for Dane)

Swanny will get 5; he starred in the final. I just checked my score book and I didn't have Pendles in my top 8 for the game. Swanny was my pick followed by Williams.
Think Swanny might be getting his 6th Gavin Brown.
After the epic draw comes the decisive knockout!
Collingwood rules the world again and Mick Malthouse fulfils his destiny with the twenty ten premiership and can you hear the people sing!

Congrats Swanny.

2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and now 2013. Remarkable.

Hard to think of any players who have won a medal of great importance (and there are none more important than the Gavin Brown Medal!) outright that many times. ;)

(I say outright because one of Nathan Buckley's Copelands was shared...) :oops:
