Brownlow night, and even the Brownlow is becoming scientific, with analysts claiming the award goes to a mid-fielder from a top team.
Knowing Derek Humphery-Smith and Murray Bird, legendary umpires (who will be at the Almanac lunch on Friday) my conclusion is that there’s probably not a lot of science in it at all. Muz is the bloke who (might have) cost Diesel Williams (now horse-owner) the Brownlow. And DHS revolutionised the centre bounce.
So who wins the 2012 Brownlow?
Add your first, second and third, and include the number of votes polled by the winner.
A copy of The Footy Almanac (edition of choice) or a bottle of Murrindindi wine to the winner.

Phantom, Sydney Swans never get rubbed out before a grand final. Think Dunkley in ’96 and James Hird’s shiner at the Brownlow, or Big Bad Bazza in ’05 punching a St.Kilda player.

The Big Mummy has the all clear to play, Phantom.
Weather forecast for Saturday is 15 degrees and wet, possible hail. I’m tipping the Swans if that’s the case.
C’mon Les, If you said 49 votes that would have been believable but 60? That’s just being redonkulous. Glass, Cox and Priddis, Kerr(se) are going to get some votes as well. Yes that was an attempt at a schoolboy pun to finish.

Brock McLean to poll well for Blues given the number of games played.
I am surprised at that Skip. The AFL had no evidence reasonable evidence so I thought he would be a dead cert to go like J Selwood when Guerra had his hair ruffled last year.
Looks like he gets the all clear to get the medal that Blakey got in 2009.
I can’t see the Swans loosing. Too tough. Hawks will choke.

Any recommendations for pub (half) viewing tonight? No blue carpet – prefer sticky carpet!
Bulldogs to receive the lowest team total?

Is it too late to organise an Almanac pub effort. I suggest we colonise the back room at the Rose but other suggestions welcome. Any takers ?
