Cripps is a deserving winner.
I think though it highlights a major flaw in the system.
Except for the hardwork of some legal folk and the backing of the club he could very well have been denied.
There's plenty of 'petty' social media stuff going on today.
The way rules are interpreted these days, especially in relation to a bump in the split second moment of a contest.... the fact that suspension renders you ineligible is no longer as relevant as in the days of the 'free for all'.
The winner of the Brownlow should just be the 'Best' player over the season.
'Fairest' is redundant.
If they're serial transgressors they'll lose enough votes through missing games and do themselves out of the award anyway.
