Brownlow 2024 Brownlow Medal Count - Congrats Patrick Cripps!

[swindle]

Fyfe had a better season in 2015. Arguably 2019.

But Carlton are a dumpster fire. No A graders to take votes off Cripps.

Fyfe would have gone 50+ with this voting in 2015

45 votes do Carlton have any other players haha

We got the two best forwards in the league who hardly got any votes.

 

[celestial]

This is for the history buffs out there, has there even been a midfield trio that polled as much as the swans trio did this year ? Their accomplishments is getting overshadowed by the 45 vote record.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

In Carlton's 13 wins he polled 34 votes

It's actually a sad reflection of the rest of our team this year. Walshy down, Curnow down ... they're the guys who normally would take votes off him. This is by far Cripps' best season for us. His consistency was incredible.

 

[Lunchtime]

117

Probably 200

 

[Coasters7]

Think it’s time to change the voting system to 5. Absolute no chance Cripps had a year that beats the record by nine votes

 

[Randomizor]

Pretty sure there have been teams make finals with less wins, lower percentage and poorer elimination final performance.

Ones that were 50-0 at any stage? Unlikely

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Weird d*** joke TBH. Bizarre time and place to say it

 

[Roosurgence]

The awards a sham.

Andrew Dillons wife said in the Red Carpet that she liked Bontempelli but had heard he wasn’t in the running.

Why would she say that based on his year unless Andrew Dillon had counted the votes.

Secure votes my ass.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Cripps polled 26 more votes than the Bont, Wowee

Cripps has had a fair whack of Botox for tonight hasn’t he? Forehead is not moving

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

This is embarrassing please take it out of the umpire hands lol

 

[Lunchtime]

Well done Cripps....had a good season. I didn't think he'd get 45 votes though. Well played.

Incredible. If he goes down the blues are farked

Some of those Judd, Cousins, Kerr West Coast sides would be around the mark I think.

 

[kickazz]

Great effort to get so many votes.

Is a concern I think that the count is so top heavy. 22 used to win this medal. (Back when forwards defenders and rucka polled votes). Now half a dozen finish with that many.

Makes it a bit boring in a way. Not to take anything away from Patrick and Nick, but are they really that much better than everyone else?

You can cherry pick one thing if you like, but that doesn't change the others.

 

[Nicco_jj]

Daicos gets votes in a losing game: "This is cooked!"

Cripps gets them in a losing game: "What a champ!"

Both Cripps and Daicos are often the only ones in their team showing something when they lose.

Cripps is immense, even in losses. And he's able to get in the pack and smash his way through like it's nothing. That kind of never say die play stands out no matter the result. Absolutely makes sense that he catches the umps' eyes. As he should.


Cripps is a great player, a worthy winner, and a really good bloke. Big respect.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Basically the 3 main mids in each team get all the votes, bar Carlton and Collingwood it seems

Daicos had literally 3 times the votes of anybody else in his team. De Goey with 8 the next best that's just . You laugh at what Cripps got but at least he had Walsh polling ok.

Diesel thinks he should have won this one too.

 

[Chism]

If you cannot appreciate how humble this guy is you need your head read. From boarding houses to a troubled child hood most on here sitting behind their keyboards can never imagine but will slag him off and complain anyway cause the award is ****ed now when a favourite won.

Keep the tears flowing BF.


You are a champ Crippa and if only we only had 3 of you.

 

[smeggaz]

Crazy to think if Sydney lose the granny, Heeney - who you could argue as being the best player this year and BOG in both finals - is likely to finish the season with no awards outside of an AA.

And if swans win, he's every chance for a premiership, norm smith and Gary Ayres, returning the world to normal.

With what? He also broke Dusty’s record

His got no chance...he needs to transform himself to peak Brett Kirk to have any chance.

Good reflection of where things are at.

Cripps is the best player in the league and it is not even close.

That's actually a really funny joke. You're the 15th person whose posted this in the past 3 pages.
