Patrick Cripps was one of the few shining lights for Carlton during the concluding stages of the 2016 AFL season and he should be able to finish with more Brownlow Medal votes than his nearest rival Bryce Gibbs. Gibbs had one very solid month, but Cripps was far more consistent.
This is one of the most competitive betting markets of Brownlow Medal night. There are three genuine chances, but it is Stephen Coniglio that represents the best value. Congilio would have polled extremely well at the start of the year and there are plenty of games where he could sneak the odd vote or two.
The North Melbourne votes will be split amongst a host of different players and that means there is plenty of value on offer. Todd Goldstein seems a like a false favourite considering he did not have his strongest year and Daniel Wells did enough to finish with double figure votes, which would likely put him on top of the North Melbourne pile.
Matt Priddis is a prolific vote accumulator and I am wary of taking him on in this betting market, but Luke Shuey has had a simply outstanding season. There were at least five games this season where Shuey was clearly the best on ground for West Coast and he is an outside chance of finishing in the top five overall.
