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.
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 features for new customers.

GWS 20.18.138 def Carlton 7.3.45
An absolute thumping by the Giants as the Blues slumped to a new low in 2019. The Giants were awesome and it will be hard to fit so many dominant players into just three Brownlow votes. Lachie Whitfield returned from injury and was enormous with 40 disposals, 18 marks and 3 goals for a staggering 190 fantasy points!

Up forward it was Jeremy Finlayson who kicked 5 majors from 12 touches.
