The hot tip around town is that only three players can win the award - Strathfieldsaye's Ben Devanny, Kangaroo Flat's Adam Burns or Sandhurst's Craig Howard.

Vote counts have a habit of an outsider knocking off the hot favourite.

Maybe Strathdale's Cam Taylor or Huntly's Adam Ward could be the one to spoil the party.
