Analysis 2024 Brownlow medal - Our boy Nick

[VinnieB]

Cripps had an incredible season.
Not only was he carrying his team each week, his woeful club played the bottom 3 teams 5x this season and still only scraped into the 8 by %.

Loser club. It isn’t getting any better for them.

I’ll sleep well tonight.

Daicos breaks the 36 vote record and still loses lol

Great effort by young Nick. AFL Umps protected Carlton Judd's record whilst giving a new record to Carltons Cripps and denying Magpies Daicos all in one go.

 

[Sea fog]

Apparently Carlton has one of the best lists in the comp but no one else in their team got Brownlow votes lol

More like they are meant to have the big 5. Trouble is, it is now only the big 1.

 

[manicpie]

Congratulations Crippa, ya campaigner. He's just a beast.

 

[Exambolor]

Apparently Carlton has one of the best lists in the comp but no one else in their team got Brownlow votes lol

Crippa was 26 ahead of the next highest Blues player in Walsh

McKay was third with 6 lmao, that pretty much sums it up, Crippa carries that team, god help the Scum when he finishes up

 

[Occidental]

So proud of Nick. Got that many votes in a season we stuffed up. He’ll get his Brownlow, he’s got plenty of time. Cripps is 8 years older than him.

 

[eddiesmith]

The rest of the Carlton list got 42 votes…

 

[DWil6]

He got 3s in many games he shouldn't have

He got 3 against us we dominated
3 against Essendon he had 7 kicks 12 handballs
Last 2 rounds 6 votes he wasn't best on in either - they lost to the Saints!

He was favourite to win and he won. Hard to get too caught up in the minutiae. Nick got a few more votes than expected too.

 

[Jafo]

Naicos would’ve had the Brownlow 97 times with his votes tonight any other night

 

[JLC]

Swanny pre Brownlow tonight, said he should have won 3 Brownlows.

Unfortunately Nick will probably be the same.

“Two of the best forwards of the last 20 years”

 

[SouthernPie]

Apologies for missing a season somewhere from the extraordinary Nick!!!! to me!

 

[Markfs]

that's the last time that i go to the brownlow...

 

[TheGreatSwan]

3 votes, N. Daicos. Champion.

He could've easily got 1 or 2 against us and I would've been OK with it given we won but he nearly single handedly won them the game that night. He was absolutely unstoppable.

 

[JLC]

But in positive news, we have the next Cripps in Ed Allan.

 

[Rohan25]

38 votes! What a season, well done star!

 

[Bramax]

I'm convinced the umps don't know the names of any other Blues players. Did any of them get any votes?

So many games where other Blues players played better games and should have taken votes off Cripps.

 

[Visions]

Cripps with apparently the greatest year in the history of the sport.

Think he was hard done by, pretty sure there was more games Carlton lost he should have got the 3 votes.

 

[live fast pieyoung]

i only care how many norm smiths nick ends up with

 

[Aussie pie]

So I just want to put this into context. According to the umpires this was the best a footballer has ever played. Peter Hudson kick 150 goals in a season. Just saying.

 

[Scud2]

Wow. I get Cripps winning, but that is just ludicrous.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

So many games where other Blues players played better games and should have taken votes off Cripps.

I can hear the umps in the room..

"Who was that dark haired bloke for the Blues? They all look the same..damn, can't remember his name. Just give em to Crippa"

 

[loki04]

Crippa was 26 ahead of the next highest Blues player in Walsh

S.Walsh 39 disp 130 plus SC rating vs 23 and 2 Goals they gave 3 to Cripps.
Walsh was BOG.

Like the umps didn't know any other Carlton players names...

 

[SouthernPie]

At least Cripps was gracious in acknowledging Nick's super season
