Joel Selwood’s odds shorten to win Brownlow Medal 2014

Cats captain Joel Selwood has maintained pressure on Josh Kennedy and Scott Pendlebury in the race for the 2014 Brownlow Medal after leading Geelong to a narrow victory over GWS in Round 18.

Sportingbet’s AFL analysts awarded Selwood 2.5 votes for his performance, which puts him two votes behind Kennedy and just one vote behind Pendlebury in Sportingbet’s running Brownlow Medal vote tally.

Selwood is a $7.50 fourth favourite behind Kennedy ($3.75), Pendlebury ($3.75) and Gary Ablett ($7).

“Kennedy and Pendlebury maintain favouritism as they have a game up their sleeve to put a gap on Selwood while continuing their mission to chase down Ablett,” Sportingbet’s Andrew Brown said.

Two players have been awarded three votes by Sportingbet’s analysts so far in Round 18, with St Kilda’s Nick Riewoldt and Essendon’s Jake Carlisle both receiving the maximum.

Sportingbet’s analysts award half votes when they can’t split certain player performances, a system that has proven to balance out over the course of the season and provide a more accurate prediction of a player’s final vote numbers.
