Official Club Stuff John Nicholls Medal 2019 - Congratulations Patrick Cripps

[ESKIE]

say what you like about aph, she's as committed to the club as anyone ever was..........

I just gagged in my cuppa....

 

[Alice]

Can someone tell me the voting process- and who gets to vote. Seems strange that Crippa had to come from behind and only narrowly won.

 

[Funk]

Please don't rain on the Plowman's parade by comparing him to ScoMo. Fair Dinkum!

It could be worse - compare him to Shorten.........

 

[Funk]

Andy and Sam Pang would have nailed it tonight...the combo of hosting and humour

“The Blue Bar”

 

[HBF]

Who would have thought Cas had a top 5 finish in him this time last year.

 

[Funk]

Happy to see Cas get a gig in the top five. Had a great year the big man and I’m hoping he stays on.

And so many posters want to trade our “superfluous players”.

Plow 3rd
Levi 5th

 

[HBF]

Pretty special effort from Crippa. Wins his 3rd B&F after just 101 games. Will end up a Carlton great

 

[Stamos]

Plowman 3rd..... might be one of those Academy Award mixup situations.

Plowman’s votes for Carltons MVP (most vexed player) got mixed up with his B&F votes.

No, it just seems some of the people on here don't watch very closely.

 

[Stamos]

Kane Lambert says hi

OK, if Gibbo gets to Kane Lambert's level, then something amazing has happened

No, it just seems some of the people on here don't watch very closely.

Exactly what I thought when I saw his 3rd placement. Had a great year.

Crippa had a much lower output in the second half of the year than the first.
He even missed the Freeo game which you could argue Curnow was BoG.

Cripps is a champ but sometimes gets so much of the spotlight a few down games from him and great games from others don't register as much.

 

[happydude]

If Gibbo is in the top 10 next year, something will have gone horribly wrong.

Or right a top 10 finish for a player doesn't mean others under peformed.
Maybe he is given a job each week, does it well, gets votes, finishes 9th....

Not just a great, the

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

Why?
Don’t be blinded by the output of a player who has now played five seasons in the AFL in comparison to Gibbon’s in his first.
Gibbons output this year matched or bettered anything Lambert put up in his first two seasons.
Took Lambert until his third season (a premiership year) to establish himself as a high caliber AFL player.
Gibbons is a quality footballer, his qualities as a footballer will only be enhanced as the quality of the team he plays with improves also.
Just as Lambert’s did.

 

[Accidental genius]

is the b&f tally listed here somewhere?

 

[Metalcrusher]

There is seriously not enough love for Number 20!

 

[Bluechip66]

Coach & 3 assistants all vote 1-4, so most points u can get per game is 16

 

[manang magoos]

And so many posters want to trade our “superfluous players”.

Plow 3rd
Levi 5th

Love this result well deserved to both of them IMO

 

[Accidental genius]

Plows body is holding up well now. Looks like his shoulder issues is now over. He would have played just about every game this season.

 

[Jabba73]

Who would have thought Cas had a top 5 finish in him this time last year.

Have been banging on about him being a good player in a better side, we got to see parts of that during the season.

Never thought a top 5 finish in the B&F, bloody brilliant that it has happened.

 

[T2B_]

The venom that gets showered on Plow should almost be cardable.

The guy applies himself selflessly to all manner of types of forwards and for the most part comes out on top. It may not always go his way, but playing difficult roles when (at times in the year) the ball is coming in a bazillion miles an hour, the guy is borderline heroic at times. It's great to see him get some recognition.

 

[Hands On]

Andy M would have loved the gig tonight I reckon.

If Andy Maher hosted gig would have gone 3 hours overtime. ..............

 

[Stamos]

Or right a top 10 finish for a player doesn't mean others under peformed.

He'll only be getting a game if we have injuries, or more talented players are underperforming.
Let alone top 10 in the B&F

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

The coaches know what they’re looking for when voting. Players that do the team thing and play their role (‘scuse the cliches). May not be the flashiest or the most exciting but they get the job done.

Onya Plow. Stick it right up ‘em.

Pretty special effort from Crippa. Wins his 3rd B&F after just 101 games. Will end up a Carlton great

Has only played 4 full seasons.

Won a B&F in 3 of them!

And the 4th, he managed the 2nd highest clearance avg in history as well as 27 touches and 7 tackles per game. Was beaten by Sammy Doc who made the AA team. Not exactly a poor season.

What he has done at this age is absurd. I'm telling you (and warning the rest of the comp) he hasn't even hit his peak yet!
