Brownlow 2024 Brownlow Medal Count - Congrats Patrick Cripps!

[Xtreme]

Cripps has the greatest individual season of all time, and Blues can only manage an elim final exit?

Not even Ablett or GOAT Dusty can lay claim to such a feat

But Cripps is still no Al Bundy - scoring 4 touch downs in 1 game!

 

[Tiges1229]

You get a vote , you get a vote , you get a vote

What a farce

 

[hawkman]

Why interview him now when you will be doing it in 6 rounds time

 

[Bobmonkey]

Sorry what! How the blue moon did Cripps get 2 there

I know, should have been 3.

2 goals, 28 disposals, highest rated player on the field.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

You’d have thought 30 and 2-3 goals in a win might be enough for some votes but evidently not.

Worst was Petracca not getting the 3 for 21 and 5. He was electric that game. How a few extra handballs can mean more than goals is baffling.

Not even close to the worst tonight least in that one Carlton won the match. Cripps was the reason they set up the win.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Why do they insist on doing this every year? Just wait until the thing is over THEN interview the winner. This isn't the way to format something like this.

You want to anticipate hearing the raw emotion of the winner. It means nothing if you've forced them into an awkward interview 15 minutes prior.

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

Cripps to poll more than Dusty did in 2017 is an absolute farce...

Cripps is a one man band plus more rounds. Not surprising really if it happens.

 

[Altum Volantes]

…and I’m sure it’s been noted in 60 pages but who the **** actually thought ‘hey, Hamish has been away all season - I bet everyone would love to see him back for the Brownlow!’

I hoped Nepo-bro was done for good…

 

[docko911]

The amount of players with more votes than previous winners just shows how one-eyed the umpires have become.

 

[Elixuh]

What’re they going to talk to Crippa about when he wins?

Uhh yeah mate you got the most votes in the history of the game and captained your team to 60-0 in a final after looking a top 2 lock the entire season. Well done lad.

 

[StillAtLarge]

You could exhume mcavaney in 30 years and he'd do a better job than hamish mc nepo

 

[Acinath]

Newcombe getting a lot of love from the umpires too
Not sure how he got 3 in round 18...

 

[hutchy31]

Ah yes, the annual "the Brownlow Medal is a stupid award" yet here we are....

US elections have been stupid for a while, but the last two have been batshit crazy. Degrees of stupidity matter.

That said, he’s a worthy winner. Just not by this ludicrous margin.

 

[Pistol Night]

Maybe we need lives?

That is depressinhly obvious

Is it any surprise that a guy for whom umpires let throw the ball ad infinitum, is favoured by them when it comes to voting?

Never understand this view. If Cripps throws the ball all the time, so does 90% of the league

 

[Biggy_Boy]

It’s gotta be a league directive to focus voting on the favourites right?

Individual brilliance hasn’t surged to previously unseen levels in the last 5-10 years has it?

Cripps and Daicos seem the only ones benefiting from that, though. Bont is having votes taken by Treloar. The Swans mids are all taking votes off each other. Neale isn't getting much.

 

[Plugger35]

Marshall making his move with 3 votes.

 

[mr bagcroft]

Bec speaks like she is receiting to Kindergarten Kids.
Jane Bunn syndrome
****ing annoying no?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Well Bont had 32 disposals, 2 goals, 11 clearances with 10 coaches votes in rd2 for 0 votes.

Whilst Rylee Sanders got votes for 22 , 0 goals, 6 clearances and 0 coaches votes.

And Libba got the 3 votes with 20 disposals, 1 goal, 7 clearances and 3 coaches votes.

It's a joke.

Even the umps know Bevo is a dill for dropping Sanders maybe they are giving him a clip

Libba deserved the 3 though I did have Bont getting 2 there

 

[Bont the Lord]

Weird take

Beg to differ. Sone absolute superstars like Hawkins and Martin retired and it was mostly about him

 

[LordLucifer]

Why interview him now when you will be doing it in 6 rounds time

CH7 have a bad habit of talking to people associated with the winner or the winner themself in the lead-up to the final votes, it is really poor form and makes the event boring & far too predictable.

 

[Funbeanman]

Even Nat Fyfe would trade his 2 brownlow's for a premiership in a heartbeat

He doesn’t . What’s going on here? Collingwood defending Carlton.
