**** you. You're the **** who didn't vote for Macartney.
Fair dinkum.

Macartney
Hendren
Mead

to add to Hobbs and Taylor from earlier.

Tbf, there is a good reason not to vote for Grace. It's because you think he's the greatest, and therefore out of the running. Not that Coronis has that excuse.

Not sure why Mead go the 5th spot in the last round. Toss up between Woodfull, Leyland, and Mitchell for this one.
