Sportingbet, which is running a weekly rolling leaderboard in conjunction with Sportal on how Brownlow Medal voting might be tracking, awarded Selwood 2.5 votes at the weekend.
That puts him two votes behind Kennedy and just one vote behind Pendlebury.
Selwood is a $7.50 fourth favourite behind Kennedy ($3.75), Pendlebury ($3.75) and Gary Ablett ($7).
"Kennedy and Pendlebury maintain favouritism as they have a game up their sleeve to put a gap on Selwood while continuing their mission to chase down Ablett,” Sportingbet’s Andrew Brown said.
Two players have been awarded three votes by Sportingbet’s analysts so far in Round 18, with St Kilda’s Nick Riewoldt and Essendon’s Jake Carlisle both receiving the maximum.
Sportingbet’s analysts award half votes when they can’t split certain player performances, a system that has proven to balance out over the course of the season and provide a more accurate prediction of a player’s final vote numbers.
