He came second, so.... no.
The umpires aren't watching most of the work Bont's doing off ball. I doubt they notice half of the deft taps he makes in congestion.

Exactly.
When has the Brownlow even been a consistent measure of who had the best season?
Ablett Junior should have had 3-4 of them if that was the case.
Comparing Brownlow counts between different eras is even more laughable.
The game is far more congested these days and midfielders regularly rack up 30 while forwards can struggle to kick more than 2-3 a game.
It’s hardly surprising that it’s dominated by midfielders. It also isn’t like the other awards are much different either. It’s the way footy is these days. It’s very much a midfielders game.

this is something that genuinely stumps me too, how is 30 disposals more important than contested possessions, intercept marks or metres gained? seems to me there is fair too much focusing on having the ball and not what you do with it or the stats that aren't recorded
Oh he was statistically and premiership wise and the toughness stakes!

Yeah I remember way more random vote getters in even as recent as 15 years ago.
It clearly changed once the game become really congested and as a result midfielders became even more loved.
People bitching and moaning about the umpires obsessing over mids but the coaches and media are no different.
If you had to pick a player to win a clearance, you'd pick Cripps first over anyone else. It's quite often that the top clearance player ends up winning the Brownlow now.
Cripps is very prolific around stoppages and that makes him very effective on that reason alone in breaking congestion and brining his team closer to goal.
You're not watching or dismissimg how good players like Bont, Heeney or Daicos (too name a few) are at hitting targets by foot. Cripps is as an elite handballer but he's kicking skills are not great.
Of mids that have played at least 10 games:
-Cripps is ranked with 54th in the league for kicking efficiency.
-He's 6th last for kick percentage
-In the bottom 20 for meters gained per disposal.
Cripps is still very effective despite this, amongst mids:
-Ranked 12th for Score Involvments % for their team
- Ranked 8th for Score Launches
But compared to other three I just mentioned
Cripps kick percentage is 38%, all the other three are above 50%
Cripps averages 12m per disposals, the other three are all above 15m
SI% all are above 30%, Cripps is at 28.5%.
The only thing that Cripps does better when it comes to getting his team in scoring position, is score launches 1.9 vs Heeney 1.6. Both Bont and Daicos are above 2.
Which confirms to me what I've seen when I see Carlton play. Cripps will win the clearance or hitout, will either do an elite handball or dump kick.
If you sweat on Cripps, it's not as effective if you sweat on the handball receiver from Cripps first possession.

The Brownlow is the Umpires award for the Fairest and Best.
Obviously in the games Crippa wasn't best on ground, he was the fairest....hence the high tally.

Well let's have a think about that. 7's rating were through the roof with over 2.8 mill watching at some stage and about 1.3 mill watching throughout.
They slammed in a veritable heap of ads throughout.
My guess is we're not going to ditch it in the foreseeable future.

People need to stop calling it a midfielders award. It's an inside midfielders award.

They don't want to do it and they're underpaid. Unless you thinking something dodgy is going on, I don't the think we should ask
Kouta got 42 BV in his career, 3 less than Cripps this season. I'm taking Kouta everyday of the week.
