Brownlow 2022 Brownlow Medal Discussion - Congrats Patrick Cripps!

[freddy mercury]

What are they going on about our salary cap now. Wtf are they thinking we are going to pay Blake Acres?

Richmond getting Taranto and Hopper not getting a mention from them? (Not that I think anything untoward but if you want to go on a Nuffie conspiracy that seems a good one)

It's all guess work, nobody knows what anyone earns other than the club, player, player management and the AFL.

Did I stutter

No, but who was the Ah Chee playing Friday night?

 

[Agenda 21]

Busy night at home tonight?

Rags to riches.

I thought Rory Laird deserved a

Actually there isn't, everything else is meaningless unless it serves as a stepping stone to becoming the 1 next year.

We will never know if getting a taste of finals this year would be increased motivation for next year or made them complacent the end goal is still the flag and anything short of that is meaningless to me.

What do you class as a stepping stone? If 17th to 3rd is not a stepping stone, I don't know what is. I'm not naive enough to think that top 4 or even finals will automatically happen next season however this was anything but a meaningless season.

As for the Blues, if you ask Paddy, I think he would have taken the finals appearance. He's 27

After half time is when Carlton choked. Surely the 3 votes goes to someone who lifted their team up for the win.

There were so many baffling decisions throughout the year.

Tell me you didn't watch the game without telling me you didn't watch the game...

 

[jonnobackpocket]

I take it back...appears you are handling things well.

Handling what? I think it funny the AFL managed to stuff up the one thing that is actually an even playing field throughout the season. It’s funny- you know like Carlton managing to miss the unmissable finals series. Hilarious.

 

[Blue1980]

You really can get away with anything if you're a big name Vic player.

Cripps is from WA though

Look at his posts man, bloke is either a mad troll or absolutely nuff nuff. Either way no use replying to it.

But you did.

Just to help with the melts..
Which club received most votes tonight with a whopping 89?
Yes you guessed it…

Melbourne or Geelong in the 90s. Do some research before you post crap

 

[Blue1980]

Cripps had a poor second half of the year, but somehow polled in 6 of 11 games lol

He was back to his best from the Adelaide game onwards.

Sacrificed a bit of his game Middle stretch of season helping out TDK rucking

Def conspiracy.

I replied to the guy replying to him, not to the actual troll.

 

[Blues_Man]

Had to drop by and read the melts, so delightful...freo shockers fans seem extra salty...not sure why, they know their club never win anything ever.

 

[PhatBoy]

Showing your own maturity by calling people with differing opinions dickheads- nice one.

I haven’t said a word about differing opinions.

I’ve made a comment on the dickheads - it’s a scientifically binding term in this case - who are metaphorically tipping over tables because of the result of an awards count and using words like cheat to describe a player who’s biggest crimes were a split second act of non-malice on a football field, and standing up to be given his award.

My maturity level is just fine thank you

 

[dumb]

the brownlow is the big constipated s**t you have to do before the real business of the grand final. takes way too long, painful, has some exciting moments, and it stinks even worse when it's not one of your own.

It's 2022 man, didn't you know that everyone deserves respect even before they've earnt it? Also every opinion is equally valid...

You're a good poster, *em.

 

[iBeng]

Lions supporters are melting something chronic.

Lachie has already won a Brownlow, and Cripps is currently the better player.

I'll have what you're smoking!

 

[Lex22]

Is Clarry always going to be that consistent guy who polls well every year yet never wins a Brownlow?

He’s the most consistent player in the comp but doesn’t quite get the 3 votes the likes Trac/Bont and Danger/Dusty/Fyfe of the past attract

He reminds me of prime Selwood always close but just can’t quite win it!

He’s still young and I hope he wins one but playing with Trac may cost him a Charlie. Or vice versa

Yep, Oliver a lot like Scott West in Brownlow/best player areas.

Seemingly always going to find a few better or a couple more brilliant that just standout more, but he’s unbelievably consistent.

Will finish top 5-10 every year.

 

[Chief]

I think this count has shown me that there should be an option for the umpires to give out 4 votes to performances that where that far above the others.

Maybe a weekly "People's Point" decided by an online poll?

Cripps being far and away the most popular and admired player the game has ever seen would have gotten a dozen this year.

 

[Blues_Man]

Why would I cry- I didn’t lose anything. At least Carlton supporters can hang their hat on having an illegitimate Brownlow knowing they in reality are just a bunch of over rated choke artists. Brownlow, Coleman, all Australians = no finals. Now that’s worth some tears.

Wow you are certainly taking it hard...so much saltiness in one post. Loving it

 

[Chief]

Lost pace, poor delivery. Looked worn out.

Broken back.

 

[Gw2_James]

My god the melts on here. I can't wait to see how bad the melts will be if we manage to win a premiership.

Hmm. Fixed for you

Just because if you don’t ever win one in the near future, have to be one of the worse teams but I believe that you guys will and it will be sooner rather than later.
