MIDFIELDERS Aaron Davey and Colin Sylvia were Melbourne’s top vote-getters in this year’s Brownlow Medal, polling 10 votes each.
Davey and Sylvia, who finished fourth and fifth respectively in the Keith ‘Bluey’ Truscott Memorial Trophy this year, upstaged the top three best and fairest place winners: Brad Green, James Frawley and Mark Jamar.
One of the highlights for Melbourne was Davey receiving two lots of best-on-ground votes against grand finalist Collingwood in rounds two and 12.
From rounds 16 to 18, Sylvia gained eight votes: two against Fremantle and a couple of three voters against Sydney Swans and Brisbane Lions.
Green, who won Melbourne’s best and fairest this year, also gained two best-on-grounds against Richmond (round four) and Essendon (round 15).
Outgoing captain James McDonald and 2010 All-Australian Mark Jamar polled five votes each.
Overall, the Demons accumulated 64 votes - the ninth best in the competition.
Fifteen Melbourne players gained votes.
