It's hard to fathom that come Monday night, Geelong could have three current players in the top 10 of all-time vote-getters – Gary Ablett, Patrick Dangerfield and Joel Selwood. With 19 Cats polling coaches' votes this year, Chris Scott's men could be in for an open count. Tipped to land 89 votes as a collective.
Best chance: Patrick Dangerfield
Far from the heights of his 2016 Brownlow Medal-winning season, Dangerfield should still give umpires something to think about in the back half of the season. Tipped to poll 17 votes on the AFL.com.au predictor, Dangerfield is expected to net 12 votes in the Cats' final nine games after the mid-season bye. Spending more time in attack earlier this season will hurt his chances, however if predicted two-vote games in rounds two and five turn into threes, he may put some pressure on the leaders in the latter rounds.
Fast starter: Tim Kelly
The rest of the competition was just trying to catch up on who this former electrical apprentice was when he was starring in early proceedings. Picking up 27 disposals in each of his first two games, Kelly should get the three votes in round seven, and is tipped to poll 13 overall.
One-vote wonder: George Horlin-Smith
Appears on his way to the Gold Coast but could steal a vote from his round five cameo against Port Adelaide. A late inclusion for one of only four games this season, the 25-year-old had 26 disposals and booted two goals.
