Before it went in camera Cripps was 16th in the coaches award with 60 votes in 10 games. That would suggest that he wouldn't be too far out of the conversation. Every time he has looked fit he plays enormous games.
It's an interesting concept that you think that the award has been discredited by the selection in a squad of 44 that the coaches have rated in the top 20 for his efforts throughout the season. In fact I would suggest that it is mind boggling.

No way. It's far too entertaining to watch him outstupid himself regularly

If Dustin doesn't get, I'm not going to take this concept seriously any more.
It was bad enough making Hawkins captain last year.

So this the complete list of AFL players who have achieved
650+ disposals
150 + tackles
15+ goals
In 1, home and away season, since tackle counts have been recorded in 1987
1. Tim Taranto
Thats it, that’s the list
The AA selection committee, is a joke

You're right. Any mug can kick goals, but it takes Lionel Messi to have score involvements. I'm convinced.
Miers > Daniher
Wow, 268 ineffective disposals

Only 6 more years of Tiger supporters trying to convince all and sundry (and themselves) that the Giants didn't stitch them up with the Taranto & Hopper trades.

Coniglio being both sixth and in the AA squad (WTF??) doesn't help your argument.

Just having fun with the Richmond tragics, personally I'd have Taranto in the squad, comfortably
its insane the more you look at the numbers
Taranto is top 6 in the voting for the brownlow and statistically has done things that haven't been done in recorded history, but he doesn't make the AA squad of 44.
The justification is his kicking, well, if you get the ball as much as he does, you do turn it over sometimes
Clanger / Disposal % would be better than most on that list, but people see what they want to see.

Agreed and I would also argue that clangers are a badly misinterpreted stat. Players who are on the end of chain and are relied upon to take pressure kicks are naturally going to have higher rates. I would argue that clangers resulting in score involvements would be a better way of analysing the stat. Paddy Dow at Carlton for example get a lot of heat for his disposal efficiency, and yes it's fair to say that opposition team target Carlton system like that to make sure he is on the end, but ultimately one clanger is not necessarily equal to another.

Notice serong who is number 1 for disposals is not in the top 10 for clangers

His stats for a forward were still very good in the first half of the year and his averages for the whole year were elite.
Taranto didn't even make the Danster third team from the scraps.
Do you know that no one else has played 23 games in a normal season before?
Now run the numbers for
621+ disposals
142+ tackles
14+ goals
Or you could try and come up with three other stats that randomly fit together.
Zero chance Cripps Captain.
Probably only a 10% chance to make final team.
But the hysteria about him making squad of 44 is a bit OTT.
Has got coaches votes in 10 games.
On leaderboard there.
15 games with 24 plus touches and his touches aren’t cheap or inflated as he’s 8th in comp for contested possessions and 7th in comp for clearances.
Busts a gut. Seems to dragging himself off the ground all the time.
You also have T.Kelly, Gulden, Viney, Crouch, Bontempelli, Greene and Green there. Maybe you should've checked the list before posting it?
If Cripps isn't captain the AA concept has lot all credibility to me.
Can't speak for the others but Gulden is so high as he doesn't go for cheap kicks. Almost every kick Gulden does is risky and needs to be precise because he usually goes for the attacking option. Means he has a lower kicking efficiency than a player who goes for the easy sideways kicks.
Listening to Hoyney's Champion Data AA team on SEN.
When is he going to realise his ratings system is flawed?
Mason Wood?
Sam Switsowski?
Lachie Whitfield?
Isaac Heeney?
Probably others I've missed.
And of course Dustin Martin was one of his first picked, with Shai Bolton on the other flank.
