Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024 Part 2

[nurries]

Did Carlton win 23 games or something?

 

[Purple Jesus]

Can we stop talking about the babyhead's penis please.

 

[FreoRicci]

Cripps 45 doesn’t make sense.
He didn’t have a better year than Fyfe 2015, even 2019 tbh.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Honestly feel the Brownlow medal becomes less prestigious each year. Who ever thinks Cripps is the best in the comp has rocks in their head.

A reminder that previous winners include Ollie Wines and Matt Priddis. This is not a new revelation.

 

[freocuz]

12 BOGs and they only won 13 matches for the season, including 4 BOG in the last 6 matches when Carlton only won 2 matches.

He’s had a good year, but 45 is way over the top.

It just comes down to him being a star in an average team. Bit of an insult to all the records he's broken. Coaches votes shows he wasn't a break away at all.

All considered, he's a deserving winner, just not deserving of being the highest ever vote getter for this season.

 

[One_Wing]

Inflation really hitting everywhere

 

[Freo Big Fella]

A symptom of the absolute vacuum he's got around him more than anything - barely a whimper from Walsh/Cerra/Acres/Hewett et al.

 

[s_wd6]

All you need to do to win a Brownlow is be pretty much the only good/consistently good player on an average team. Sydney having multiple good players means it's unlikely any of their guys will ever win a Brownlow despite being as good as they are.

 

[MadMundy]

So? He still wouldn't be worth it.

Plus knowing your track record you're probably celebrating excessively that Cripps has won the Brownlow.

You mean the same guy I called a smug prick earlier?

 

[One_Wing]

Also why do umps hate Bont lol. 19 votes is a joke.

 

[MadMundy]

Serong top 5 is ****ing beautiful though, 28 would have won not long ago.

 

[Dockeroo]

Is Hamish McLachlan serious??

WTF was that?

 

[freo_leo29]

45 HAHAHAHA

looks to have seriously over polled as well. 28th in the coaches award 6th in the Brownlow, expect him to win one soon.

 

[FreoRicci]

Serong unlucky with Brayshaw’s second half of the season.

The similarity to Cripps and Greene is that the commentators are always blowing their pipes

Why is the most prestigious award decided on by the umpires who have a warped perception of the game anyway? They don't even have access to stats after the games. There's been plenty of games I've watched where my opinion on BOG has changed dramatically after watching the replay and looking at stats compared to watching in person.

Coaches votes a much more accurate assessment. Even those Herald Sun player of the year type awards are more balanced.

 

[stax on the mull]

Richmond players in total only polled 19 votes in the season.

 

[stax on the mull]

Swans trio of Heeney, Gulden and Warner with 76 votes between them.

Geelong really no stand outs with Cameron topping with 16 votes.

 

[james haish]

Such a dodgy count. Only resolution is threatening Mike Pence with execution outside of AFL House if he doesn’t immediately award Caleb Serong

Well done Cripps on his second Brownlow medal*

* denotes that Cripps 2022 Brownlow Medal undoubtedly and most certainly should have been award to the Carlton QCs…

 

[stax on the mull]

I was just looking at how some teams had some shared consistency of several players vs. the single star player team. Like Collingwood's next best after Nick Daicos on 38 is De Goey on 8. Geelong is pretty low in polling for a preliminary final team.
