Brownlow 2024 Brownlow Medal Count - Congrats Patrick Cripps!

[reg_lower91]

My updated expected final leader board after the completion of round 18:

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

I think it's safe to say the umpires have no idea about modern football.

They vote for themselves

 

[YeoShuey]

Bont:
R2: 32 Disposals, 19 Contested, 3 Tackles, 11 Clearances, 2 Goals, 2 Goal Assists, 7 Score Involvements, 567 Metres Gained, #1 Rated Player, 10 Coaches Votes, 0 Brownlow Votes.
R4: 35 Disposals, 14 Contested, 10 Tackles, 7 Clearances, 1 Goal, 2 Goal Assists, 8 Score Involvements, 638 Metres Gained #2 Rated Player, 5 Coaches Votes, 0 Brownlow Votes.
R8: 26 Disposals, 16 Contested, 5 Tackles, 7 Clearances, 2 Goals, 4 Goal Assists, 11 Score Involvements, #1 Rated Player (by far), 9 Coaches Votes, 0 Brownlow Votes.
R9: 32 Disposals, 19 Contested, 7 Tackles, 10 Clearances, 2 Goals, 14 Score Involvements, #1 Rated player, 7 Coaches Votes, 1 Brownlow Vote.

Cripps would poll 12 with those numbers no problem. He's a fantastic player, but he's getting 3 votes for sneezing in some rounds.

Cripps > Bont.

The umpires even see this is the case. Best player in the league.

 

[Billy ray]

This shouldbe on the Saturday night of the bye. Starting at 6pm.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

The problem with the Swans is our midfielders are stealing votes from each other. We have 3 players inside the top 6.

That’s why you’re playing this Sat, and we’re not.
I know which I’d prefer

 

[RUNVS]

That is NOT a problem!

In the real world yes, but in Brownlow terms it is a massive problem.

 

[Pistol Night]

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

Well if it was good we’d sit and watch it rather than hang shit

 

[Rotayjay]

Is four umps lowering the quality of the Brownlow voting as well as the standard of umpiring in general?

 

[HairyO]

Will Day on 3 votes lol

It isnt easy when 2 of the 3 votes go to oppo players evrn when we win big. Umps only noticed Newk.

He may struggle in the final 4 rounds after his haircut

 

[Arc1]

"four sleeps till the match"

No blondie, its five !!

They go hard at the post-Ds up there

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Few ****ed it for the players. Hardly any piss now. I’d need 2 cartons to sit through this

Only 2 cartons? You’d need 4 flasks and a spare one where no one could find just in case

 

[Altum Volantes]

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?

 

[Pablito]

Bont:
R2: 32 Disposals, 19 Contested, 3 Tackles, 11 Clearances, 2 Goals, 2 Goal Assists, 7 Score Involvements, 567 Metres Gained, #1 Rated Player, 10 Coaches Votes, 0 Brownlow Votes.

R9: 32 Disposals, 19 Contested, 7 Tackles, 10 Clearances, 2 Goals, 14 Score Involvements, #1 Rated player, 7 Coaches Votes, 1 Brownlow Vote.

Cripps would poll 12 with those numbers no problem. He's a fantastic player, but he's getting 3 votes for sneezing in some rounds.

That's actually ****ed.

Bont has been robbed. Not sarcasm. Should be top 5 easy.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

It’s a farce how only 3 players from each team can win a Brownlow, no wonder the Midfielders votes are getting higher and higher each year

 

[Foucault1989]

Well if it was good we’d sit and watch it rather than hang shit

Maybe we need lives?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I see the Australian education system working great

6 minus 1 is 4 apparently

 

[Corkintheocean]

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?

 

[beerbandit]

I honestly believe Danger 2016 & Danger 2017
were the last credible winners. a lot controversey over the last few winners.

Cripps is the deserving winner this season. Maybe not by the ridiculous amount of votes but he is deserving.

 

[hutchy31]

He doesn’t really play a game that tends to poll massive- doesn’t get it usually 35 odd unfortunately

Bloke is a gun

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.

 

[Pistol Night]

That’s why you’re playing this Sat, and we’re not.
I know which I’d prefer

Tom Mitchell said his Brownlow doesny even compare to the flag

 

[Doggstats]

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.

 

[Funbeanman]

Bookies would be laughing about Bont and Neale not making top 5

 

[Foucault1989]

It isnt easy when 2 of the 3 votes go to oppo players evrn when we win big. Umps only noticed Newk.

He may struggle in the final 4 rounds after his haircut

A blonde rinse and he's winning it next year.

 

[LOLchie Schultz]

Lloyd Meek was robbed against Freo!

 

[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!
