I’ve that Freo game a Few times and he was dead on his feet but kept going - it was noticeable to me. Not sure he should’ve been gotten 2 but thank the universe Dangerfield didn’t get it ????????
Of course it would’ve been great for Cripps and deserving but he missed 2 games and played in a team that lost its coach mid year whilst on the bottom of the ladder - amazing effort by him ????????

Cripps want a premiership medal, not a poser medal.

Cripps has what no other person has, or will ever have.
A BOG/superboot winner in AFLX.

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 has that effect on me too. Amazing isn't it - our human propensities. Love what we love (insert Navy ????) and hate what we hate (insert Danger and his puke evoking coach????)

Danger is the new James Turd!
Don't forget if you meet them to walk away backwards bowing, and never turn your back!

My final thoughts on the Brownlow. In Round 18 Liam Jones got 10 coaches votes. Both coaches thought he was the best player on the ground. The umpires didn't think he was in the top 3 on the ground. Exactly the same thing happened to Levi Casboult in Round 22, 10 coaches votes, 0 Brownlow votes. The AFLPA MVP is a much more meaningful award, even if it doesn't have the history and glamour about it

You think the AFLPA would switch onto this and monetize the event, I suspect it would become more prestigious and lucrative than the Brownlow in no time at all. Money directly in their own pocket! The same applies to the AFLCA.
To me it's a simple hierarchy;
Player Awards (Peer voted, big sample size, premium and meaningful)
Coaches Awards (In the know, but some bias)
Club Awards (A tad political)
Umpire Awards (Close observers, midfield biased, some bias(see Diesel))
Media Awards (Just Corrupt)

Good summary LP, I agree
