Doesn’t play with enough flair, most likely, to catch the umpire’s eyes.

Pretty frantic typing when DM is counting, he’s racing through it. He also adopts a strange cadence to his voice I’ve noticed whenever he says Gary Ablett or Dane Swan too. I think he’s trying to be dramatic…

This lead may already be enough for those in the middle of the pack at this stage, with the betting that Ablett surely has more BOG’s to come.
2013 Brownlow Medal: Live blog, updates
SO Gary Ablett continues to smash it and has 20 votes after 12 rounds, the equal highest this early in the count. Dan Hannebery is matching him stride-for-stride, while Dane Swan has surged up the leaderboard in the last couple of rounds with some strong games.
