Agreed, the only thing is I found some of the voting didn't follow form lines, there were votes when none were expected. But I won't look at it in detail until tomorrow.

Both he and Dangerfield should have had asterisks against their names!

Walsh and co will start pulling their weight a lot more from here on out.
Fair point, but Im not so sure.
Dusty managed a brownlow, norm smith, and flag all in one year.
Cripps could do that.

Fyfe told you the secret to his success last night, team-mates who willingly sacrifice for him!
FFS, we throw our players to the wolves by comparison!
Handbaggers can think about that as they watch Tuohy and Henderson jog on by another pummeled team-mate!
I'd argue we became a better side in the 2nd half of 2019 because we became less dependent on Cripps, I said as much in one of the match day threads, that Cripps was learning to sacrifice so that the team benefits, he can influence games without being the driver!
Do you think Wallsy going ballistic post match had anything to do with the team's renaissance?

Congratulations to Fyfe who won well and spoke very well.
Hawthorn had 14 players poll.
Carlton, Port, Richmond and St Kilda had 13
Everyone else except Melbourne (7) and Gold Coast (5) had 10-12 players get votes.
Carlton finished 12th in terms of total votes for clubs and 15th for average votes per player (4.62)
Not that you would use Brownlow votes as a metric, but we did better than our finishing position on the ladder.

Mainly because of one guy - stating the obvious, the load needs sharing.
Most pleasing was that many of our vote-getters are from the younger brigade - Walsh, SPS, Setterfield, McKay, Weitering, Kennedy, Charlie. Makes quite a change from the same-old names that have appeared during recent years.

Interesting stat.
Cripps has never polled a Brownlow vote against a team lower on the ladder.
All his votes (ignoring round 1) have come when playing a team higher on the ladder.
He is certainly a great leader.
btw... I predict that stat will end next year when we start winning more games than we lose

I see the whole things - Fyfe winning - as contrived.
Round 10 - they beat Brissy by 1 point.
AFL report - Fyfe listed as the 6th best freo player (Hill 1st) - Fyfe 3 votes.
Round 14 - bad loss to Dees, Fife gets a vote and Hill was named Freo's best
Round 17 - bad loss to Hawks - gets 3 votes.
i watched that game, no way was he BOG.
Round 21 - pipped by the Saints
3 votes - maybe.....
Still, prefer him to Danger (the latter makes me want to puke)

He got 2 votes against us.
Jack Silvagni beat him soundly after half time. I dont understand how he polled votes that day.
