Generally you need like 24 to 28 points to win the Dally M (and sometimes there has been a clear run-away leader with more points, I don’t think that will occur this year).
DCE would have needed to poll like 12 to 13 points in Rounds 17 to 26. He will be up there as we won 8 lost 2 in that period!
Interesting using the “LeagueUnlimited.com Players of the Match” (see them below) then DCE would have polled 8, so add that to 13 (Round 16 cut off) he would have ended up with 21 points. All the judging will be different but is not a bad indicator.
He was 26/1 to win the Dally M a bit earlier this Year. He may get in the top 3, I think the Top 5 for sure, but still a slight chance. He probably needed 3 points against the Panthers to help?
Is all betting on the Dally M now closed? I think it has been for a few weeks?
