Brownlow Should the AFL overturn the Cripps Brownlow decision?

[parano1a]

Has any club ever provided the Coleman and Brownlow medallists yet somehow missed the finals?!

Not the same club but I remember in 1990, Liberatore (Foots) and Longmire (NM) won the Brownlow and Coleman respectively. Neither club made finals.

Dunno, I kind of like it

2012
Riewoldt and Cotchin. Tiges finished 12

It happened before, not too long ago.
I remember Tony Lockett in 1987 won both awards at St.Kilda, with only 9 wins for season.
I believe it happened at Carlton in 1961 too.
Someone called Carroll won the Coleman Medal and Brownlow Medal was John James.

Cripps should be jailed

 

[Ginnieboy]

Given the uproar caused by Patrick Cripps history-making victory in the Brownlow medal tally, should the AFL overturn the result?

Vote YES if you are ready to go down to Crown Palladium and overturn cars!

I have some flares.

 

[Ginnieboy]

We need an effigy we can burn, all meet at Mario’s green grocery on Lygon.

Flog of the night, does he think he's funny or something

He is funny! God forbid a footy player show a bit of personality.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Hope Crippa enjoys it, cos this is the only medal he’ll be winning in his career

And you barrack for North... That's some funny s**t right there

 

[Outtatym]

People actually take the Brownlow seriously? Interesting

The team that beat you in the 1999 GF?

Yeah that team. How are those umpires mate? You ok yet?

Not any more

What umpires?

This is a bay thread chief

I don't agree. Go back to discussing your precious priority pick and finally landing a "big fish" in Griffin Logue.

Saints in 1987 also had both and finished 10th out of 14 (granted the Brownlow and Coleman winners were inhabiting the same body, but still)

 

[HairyO]

Also overturn the ridiculous 1 vote for Lachie Neale in the last round smashing by Melbourne so I can win my Touk Miller bet

Yeah, I think it should have been a 2 way tie between Neale and Miller.

Tough on Oliver and Petracca because they just steal so many votes from eachother.

While the overturn of Cripps suspension was the incorrect call, you can't overturn the Brownlow because of it. He didn't do anything to cheat. He went through the process to try to get himself off like any other player in that situation and was successful. The administrators of the game made a mistake.

It would like overturning a games result due to a poor umpiring decision at a crucial time of a game.

Neale should launch a legal case. Surely the AFL minced their words somewhere in the winners announcement.

Yes it's in the books now, just a bit of fun

He had a pretty good year and is a worthy winner [said between gritted teeth]

 

[Engimal v3]

Only a Blues fan could melt when their own player wins the Brownlow

Flog of the night, does he think he's funny or something

He does, and he is.

 

[The 747]

I would have thought so, he literally killed a player during one of the matches. He should be in prison let alone a Brownlow medalist.

Disgraceful that they awarded a murderer the Brownlow.

Yes the administrators of the game did make a mistake and have been made to look really stupid because of it.

The AFL doesn’t like to be made to look stupid so I’m surprised they didn’t do something to make sure Cripps didn’t win it.
