For those who need a refresher on how our Brownlow voting 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 then form a 'range' for each player (i.e. 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.

After quarter time, the Roos midfield got on top, led by Shaun Higgins who racked up 28 disposals and 2 goals. Ben Brown was dominant up forward with 4 goals from 14 disposals, but he probably could’ve had a couple more, while Jack Ziebell also hit the scoreboard with 3 goals and 18 disposals. James Worpel was best for the Hawks with 37 disposals and 5 tackles.
Ben Brown – 2.5
Shaun Higgins – 2.5

Fremantle 14.11.95 def Geelong 9.7.61

Nat Fyfe (27 disposals, 2 goals), Michael Walters (29 disposals, 5 tackles, 1 goal), Ed Langdon (28 disposals, 2 goals) and Bradley Hill (27 disposals) were too quick for the Cats as they ran wild in the middle of the ground and should consume the votes. Tom Stewart (24 disposals, 9 marks) and Tim Kelly (25 disposals,1 goal) were best for Geelong.

Michael Walters – 2
Brad Hill – 1
Ed Langdon – 1

Brisbane 14.14.98 def Western Bulldogs 11.14.80
The Lions juggernaut continues to roll on as they held on for a tight win over the Dogs. Mitch Robinson was influential with 24 disposals, 6 tackles and 2 goals while Charlie Cameron kicked 4 goals from 13 disposals. The votes might end up with the Dogs who had more possession throughout the day. Jack Macrae was huge with 45 disposals and 7 tackles, and Marcus Bontempelli had 35 disposals, 7 tackles and a goal.
