FREMANTLE superstar Nathan Fyfe's one-match ban has caused upheaval in the Brownlow Medal race, with Hawthorn jet Tom Mitchell the new favourite.
Fyfe is easily leading the AFL.com.au Brownlow predictor with 17 votes.

He sits ahead of Carlton star Patrick Cripps (14) and a group of five players on 11: Richmond duo Dustin Martin and Trent Cotchin, North Melbourne gun Shaun Higgins, Melbourne forward Jesse Hogan and prolific Western Bulldogs ball-winner Jack Macrae.
Mitchell is the newly installed favourite with CrownBet at $3. He has a tally of 10 in the predictor.
Betting on Fyfe has been suspended after he had been favourite for the past four weeks, having been as short as $3.50.
The Dockers will challenge the decision at the Tribunal on Tuesday, most likely arguing his strike on midfielder Levi Greenwood was careless rather than intentional.
Match Review Officer Michael Christian assessed the incident as low impact and high contact.
Fyfe took 'Charlie' home in 2015.
