1 Vote (W.Bulldogs) Mitch Wallis (1)
Wallis was the X-factor in this clash and seems to be adapting well to a new role in the forward line. Just the 11 Disposals, but 3 of his 5 Marks were contested and he was dangerous up forward all day providing plenty of scoring chances. His 4 Goals were noticeable and will give him a decent chance to poll votes in the win.

Macrae was influential in the middle the entire game and used the football at an elite level. His 26 Disposals came at 88% Efficiency, and he was also good without the football with 8 Tackles. A noted vote-getter from previous seasons, and Macrae should poll votes in this clash.

He is always looking to move the ball forward and set up teammates with 9 Inside 50s, 7 Clearances and 9 Score Involvements in the win.

Ryan may be the leading vote-getter for the Fremantle Dockers so far this season, and that shows how good a year he has had down back.

Projected Votes
1 Vote (Brisbane) Harris Andrews (2)
Andrews may have had the most significant impact in this game, but he is a defender, and defenders generally don’t get Brownlow Votes. His 16 Disposals came at 88% Efficiency, and he racked up 10 Intercept Possessions. Also had a lot of spoils, and 2 of his 5 Marks were contested. Saved the game in many respects for the Lions.

Was also good at getting the ball into the Saints attacking 50 with 6 Inside 50s, 7 Score Involvements and scored a goal.

Kelly was the Giants best player in this clash and covered the big ground well with elite running power. He used the footy well with his 26 Disposals coming at 92% Efficiency. Also had 4 Clearances, 6 Marks and booted a goal, to be a decent chance for votes, despite the loss.
2 Votes (West Coast) Jeremy McGovern (2)
The Giants made a late charge, but McGovern seemed everywhere in the closing stages and just kept intercepting the football. Defenders don’t typically poll votes, but the impact of the Eagles defender cannot be denied. 11 of his 18 Disposals were Intercept Possessions, and he used the footy at 83% Efficiency. Ended up taking 10 Marks down back, and 5 of them were noticeable Contested Marks. Deserves votes in the win.
