I got on him about mid-season at 15:1 and 4 for the place. Looking ok, that.
Unfortunately, anyone who looks at his form all year rather than talkback hype and Sportsbet manipulation comes to the conclusion that he can't win it. He's been in good form for most of the year but only Brownlow form for a month - will get very few votes early on. Judd is a huge chance with a consistently good year. Even if Murphy gets a few 3s, Judd is still in the running for 2s. Pendlebury, despite stiff competition from Swan and Thomas, could get enough 2 vote games to get there too.
All we need is a "1" from Round 3 if it means the difference between Goodesy getting charlie over someone else.
Only need to win it by 1 (or tie - I'll be happy with a tie!!).
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
I'm thinking about 20 votes, and that's probably with a hint of bias. Not enough.

I'm not sure he was quite good enough in the 1st half of the season to win it to be honest - but he will be top 5 I think and if Judd's votes are cannabalised a bit by Murphy in the early rounds of the season, he might be in with a sniff. I expect the love in with Judd will continue and he will probably win it comfortably.
Goodes the only Swan nominated in the All Australian Squad.
An outstanding finish to the year .... and hopefully through the finals.
Judd is consistently classy and brilliant. His ability to find a team mate in heavy traffic often defies belief and watching it as the umps do from close up must be pretty convincing.
I would say Judd wins the Brownlow by as much as 5.
