Sandow's probably out of the running now though considering he's in first grade.
I reckon Barba might grab the most votes by the end of the season.

If Lachlan Coote doesn't get a shot at first grade, he will be hard to beat as well - the comparisons between him and Barba at the top of all the statistics is uncanny!
The thing is - it is halfback vs fullback... very interesting
