Brownlow 2024 Brownlow Medal

[Schulzenfest]

45 LOL your telling me cripps had a better season than Dusty's elite 2017 season

Not just that. They're telling you that Cripps had a significantly better season than every other season by every other player in the history of football. To the tune of at least 3 extra BOG's. Absolute wankfest.

It's just a popularity contest now. Why are you people still watching this?

Who else have Carlton got though? Cripps literally pulls them over the line in some games. Richmond had a lot of good players around Dusty Martin. I agree 45 votes is just lazy by the umpires.

Probably for the same reason you are commenting on it.. we are all victims of footyball.

 

[StuMan]

Haha. A garbage award with an even worse ceremony. I don't why you guys subject yourself to this crap.

They have another all Australian number 1 pick mid, an all Australian number 1 pick key defender and 2 Coleman medallist’s. That’s better than most other teams have.

 

[JimmyBC]

Who remembers the club brownlow? lol

Forgot it was even on until I logged into BF.
Did we win?

 

[Doctor Feel]

Whole award needs a massive overhaul.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Didn't watch but 45 votes for any player completely delegitimises the entire award, especially a player from a team that only won 13 games.

Should be the catalyst for change.

 

[SonOfKek]

There's no way he's on the same level as prime Dusty or, Chris Judd or Gary Ablett Jr.

 

[Del165198]

83 votes between Cripps and Daicos, what a joke. The award has become a farce. The umpires have no idea.

 

[PAFC66]

Did I really hear that ****ing idiot Rebecca Madern talk about "coming back from Vegas alive"? How daft is she

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Anyone have the breakdown of Cripps votes over 23 games?

When Russell Ebert polled 42 votes in 1976 it was a 21 game season and he got 10x3 votes + 6x2 votes.

Think Ollie polled in 16 games when he won with 36 votes.

 

[JimmyBC]

Whole award needs a massive overhaul.

We change rules & entrenched fundamentals of the game every five seconds, but god forbid we look at the voting integrity of the highest individual award in the sport.. lol

 

[glitch01]

I can see a few positive things out of this result.

• Cripps is genuinely a good player and won without a dodgy call from the MRO this time.
• Daicos didn’t win
• Butters polled very well despite also getting hammered financially by the MRO.
• JHF got more votes than LDU (lolNorf)
• Did I mention that Daicos didn’t win?

Unfortunately the defining factor these days is having as little competition as possible within your own team but still being part of a team that is good enough to win plenty of games. This is why Cripps and Neale have won 4 of the last 5 between them, they are the best mids in their teams by a mile.

But honestly, do you think that's never been the case in the history of football before?

This is an utter farce.

In the past this should have been a 30 vote season at best.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Midfielders poll in Brownlows and apart from Cripps and sometimes Walsh they have bugger all.

Cripps averaged 28 disposals, 8 clearances, 5 tackles and less than a goal for a team that scraped into the eight.

It’s not even an ‘out of the box’ season amongst his seasonal peers, let alone previous winners.

 

[PJ Power]

Yeah, you shouldn’t feasibly be able to have a vote tally (45) that comfortably surpasses the number of wins your team had (13) multiplied by 3. Especially when your team’s percentage was only 110, meaning you couldn’t have dominated the opposition when you won AND come close when you lost.

 

[Brian McGee]

That’s exactly what makes it a joke. Harry McKay had a game where he had 19 disposals, 10 marks and 5 goals 1. It was only worth 2 votes. Clearly the best and most influential player on the ground, but a mid (Cripps) got best on.

 

[240volt]

Haven’t watched a medal count in years.
After reading this thread looks like a good decision.

 

[Powerade 08]

Well deserved moite. Best season of all time (and second best). Wipe your arse with it

 

[RossFC]

 

[glitch01]

That doesn’t really help our asking price for Houston…..
