2018 Brownlow Vote Predictions Round 23

September 22nd 2018, 4:03pm, By: Brownlow Bandit

Once again Before You Bet is back with our rolling Brownlow Medal Tracker for the 2018 season. We’ll be providing comments for every game of the season, along with our vote predictions to help with your projections for the 2018 AFL season.

Our Brownlow predictions are one of the most popular aspects of the site with punters able to scoop huge profits using the information found in these pages. You’ll be able to stay up to date with our current Top 20 2018 Brownlow Medal leaderboardwhile there will be links to every single round-by-round voting posted there.

For those who need a refresher on how our Brownlow vote system works, we assign 6 votes per game so that our total votes are the same as the official 3-2-1 system, however we break up those votes as we see fit across potentially more than three players. Some games are really tough to call which way the votes will go, so a better predictive model is to split performances and assign half points to each player where there is doubt. So for example if two players dominate and it's too hard to split their performance, they are given 2.5 votes each, with the remaining 1 vote given to another player(s). This will give us a predictive total closer to their true total, rather than guessing. We can form a 'range' for each player (ie a min and max we think players can poll) with the thinking behind this that the variations from the half votes will even out over the long term.

If you intend on using our Brownlow votes to bet why not consider one of the best Australian sports betting sites which offer some great incentives for new customers. Also be sure to check out our Twitter page at @Before_You_Bet and continue returning to the site for our AFL tips, and of course, check out our 2018 Brownlow Round 23 Vote Predictions below!

Stay tuned to BYB over the next two weeks as we provide some more in-depth analysis and betting tips across a range of markets such as leading team vote getters, match specific bets and head-to-heads.

Port Adelaide 13.11.89 def by Essendon 17.9.111

The Port Adelaide season has ended in disappointing style, going down to the Bombers at home in their final match of the season.

Zach Merrett picked up 29 disposals and 8 tackles, Dyson Heppell had 26 touches and 2 goals while David Zaharakis had 25 disposals and 2 goals. For the Power, Justin Westoff was enormous with 5 goals from 20 disposals and 8 marks, Chad Wingard had a game-high 32 touches, while Jared Polec picked up 30 touches and a goal in what may be his last game for Port.

Devon Smith – 3
Justin Westoff – 2
Jared Polec - 1

 

Geelong 22.10.142 def Gold Coast 5.10.40

Jack Macrae was dominant with 43 disposals, 14 marks, 7 tackles and a goal for a whopping 190 fantasy points. Lachie Hunter (35 disposals, 12 marks) and Josh Dunkley (28 disposals, 2 goals) also had plenty of the ball. Dusty Martin has finished the season with a rush as he is likely to poll votes for his 33 disposals and a goal.

Steele Sidebottom (32 disposals, 7 marks) and Scott Pendlebury (30 disposals, 1 goal) were the best for the Pies, while Brodie Grundy (34 hitouts, 24 disposals) was matched in the ruck but performed well around the ground. For Freo, Bradley Hill (35 disposals) had his best game of the year, while Ed Langdon (32 disposals, 10 marks) and Lachie Neale (34 disposals, 1 goal) won plenty of the ball. Might be a tough game to give votes as it could go a number of different ways.

Bradley Hill – 1
Brodie Grundy - 1

 

Carlton 8.13.61 def by Adelaide 26.9.165

If it wasn’t for Jenkins’ big haul, Patrick Cripps would probably be picking up another best-on-ground in a losing performance. He carried his team with 37 disposals, including 24 contested possessions, 18 clearances and 7 tackles.

Josh Jenkins – 3
Patrick Cripps – 2
Rory Laird - 1

 

Sydney 10.14.74 def by Hawthorn 12.11.83
