Cripps just pulled 2 votes for a game he had 19 disposals at 47% efficiency LOL

Scrap this award, right now.

It's not just the award. Umpires are a blight on the game. The sooner AI, or aliens, or cockroaches in bright colours, replace them, the better adjudicated the game will be.

Shouldn’t surprise you Neale got 3 votes last year and he had a 20 disposal game

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Nick Daicos Rd13. Subbed off early. 15 disposals. Gets a vote.

 

[WAbulldog]

I see that the Brownlow is going well how I expected.

Was 13 disposals wasn’t it?

The spell he has over the umps is mind blowing. I knew he’d shit it in the back half of the year when they had their injuries but he is literally getting all the votes when they were at full strength. Bont NEVER gets votes when he has 20 touches.

That was Horne-Francis

We can't have it both ways.

If it goes on disposals then we can't complain that forwards and defenders (and probably ruckmen) don't ever win it. In fact we can dispense with the umpires votes altogether and just give the Brownlow to the player with the most disposals. Just like the Coleman goes to whoever kicked the most goals.
And that means Adz is this year's Brownlow medallist doesn't it?

But if you want the umps to ignore the disposals and the DT stats and award it according to the eye test (like, you know, who actually had a big impact on the game) then it makes sense that sometimes a player will get 3 votes for a game in which he had fewer than 15 disposals.

Cripps trying to keep a relaxed look on his face when he knows he’s absolutely pissing this in with rounds to spare

Zeno Tzatzaris likes option 2!

Bont and Cripps were expected to be on the same amount of votes on most predictors.

30-13

"Except if that player's first name is Marcus, and surname rhymes with Pirelli."

They've got it both ways at the moment.

If certain stars get 30+, 3 votes. If they get 18, 3 votes

at least 2 or 3 games where bont has 30+ and multiple goals for 0 votes

i honestly believe the umps hate bonti for whatever reason

 

[geoffjennings79]

So from the posting here, I'm guessing Cripps is heading for a 40+ result?

 

[_Mike_]

Anderson for GCS had 39 disposals against Collingwood
8 marks, 5 tackles, 6 clearances

Gets 2, Daicos gets the 3 for a 32 touch game

He did, though he also sounded like he was going to be euthanised once he stepped off stage.

My comment was directed at the commentary in this thread. Why are we outraged that a player gets three votes even if he didn't get 20 disposals?

I realise each case bears examination because there will always be a few eyebrow raising calls, but in principle there should be nothing wrong with it if the player was indeed extremely influential in the game.

 

[CarnTheScray]

Bahaha what is happening.

That was a bizarre watch. Just tuned in for ten minutes and turned it off.

 

[The_torpedo]

if you told me the brownlow was fixed/sold to the highest bidder I'd believe you

 

[dogwatch]

So from the posting here, I'm guessing Cripps is heading for a 40+ result?

If you look at the predicted votes in the AFL tracker he'll end up with 41 votes which would be an all time record. But he'd only win it by 4 votes from Naicos (37) who would also have broken the old record of 36 votes (shared by Dusty and Wines).
