Patrick Cripps - brownlow winner*

Remove this Banner Ad

Looks like medal will go to second place Neale, or if votes were fixed for him then Touk Miller.

Patrick Cripps (Carlton) 29

Lachie Neale (Brisbane) 28

Touk Miller (Gold Coast) 27

Andrew Brayshaw (Fremantle) 25


Glad Lachie Neale didn't get a 2nd brownlow.

Always comes across as a whiny tosser on field, classic small man midget syndrome
Anyhow Midget got a vote in the final round when The Brisbane Bears got flogged by 100 points anyway, so not as if he is an unlucky runner up lol

Also lol Ah Chee. Such satisfactory trolling of the Brions, a team that is fairly easy to despise actually.

THE ODD VOTES THAT WON CRIPPS THE MEDAL

Any Brownlow winner needs the cards to fall in their favour - an extra vote here or there - but in a count as close as this one, Patrick Cripps has a few umpires to thank.

The Carlton superstar was a deserving winner but the crucial votes that kept him in the mix came in Round 20 against Adelaide.

It was a loss that ended up ruining the Blues’ season - the win that went missing, and when they lost their last three games, they missed the eight entirely.

Yet Cripps polled three votes in the 29-point defeat, off the back of 41 disposals and 12 clearances, as he tried valiantly to keep them in the game. Stats Insider gave him a 16% chance of polling three votes!!!!!!!!
But funnily enough Cripps had 30 touches and kicked 3 goals against Richmond in round 1. Every media pundit, all at the ground and I dare say stats insider (if there is such a thing) rated him a 99% chance of getting the three votes.

Surprisingly he only got 1. Maybe we should petition the AFL to gave the official winning margin extended by 2?

It evens out, but not when there's an ump on the take.

'Reports have stated there are numerous rounds in question for the suspicious betting activity.

Pell was promoted to the AFL's field umpires list earlier this year.

The maximum sentence for the alleged offending is 10 years imprisonment.'

Ten years? Geezuz these betting companies sure have some clout. I understand George Pell getting ten years but they should just sack umpire Pell.
 
People also speculate that Elvis, Hitler and JFK are flatmates in Brazil these days. Feel free to add to the Cripps Brownlow melts please
A mates uncle saw Hitler in a Buenos Aires cafe back in 86. Still fit as a fiddle he was. Reckons he was hard done by the press. Had those bastard Russians covered except for the winter starting a fraction early in 41.
