Is there a formula that judges have to follow?
Is it based on potential or based on the year that they have had?

It is harder to play key position, that's why it takes so much longer for big blokes to develop. Even so, Cripps has been outstanding and no reason why he shouldn't win, as good as Hogan's been in a tough position. Cripps, in reality should've been close to AA and poll as well as any midfielder in the Brownlow, as he's been as good as any of them.
It's equally hard to play in the midfield and cop a hard tag most games. It's also hard for a young bloke to take over as the main inside mid and be as productive as the injured champion who had the role.

Not quite at that level just yet.

How good is he going to be once he upgrades from a 6 cylinder to a V12?

Geez, I shudder to think what Jeremy Cameron may have achieved if like Hogan he had been given 3 years to "warm up" to the AFL. Cameron may have won the Coleman in his first season!
How good might Crippa be next season on a year for year basis?

Not really. It's why big blokes take way longer to develop. Much harder getting smashed in marking contests often against 2 or 3 opponents. We all know that, as much as we want Cripps to win.
I believe Cripps has been as good as any mid this year and felt he should've been in the AA squad of 40, hence why I think he should overcome the advantage Hogan has of performing so well as a very young key position player.

Hogan would IMO need at least 60 goals to equal Cripps' output in the midfield. The way Whately was saying 'oh but Hogan has 44 goals' big fk!! It's only 44 goals, not like he has been dominating like the Crippologist.
I know that, you know that but will the panel see that.

About 1/2 the voting panel are the same set of blokes who gave Krakouer 2011 Mark of the Year over 1AWs Super Grab, anyone Carlton is virtually stuffed under such conditions. :o

KB is on radio saying he thinks Cripps, but this year KB is a voter in the award. Even if Carlton won a match by 50 goals KB would probably give the votes to an opposition player!
