Brownlow Medal Thread 2019: Can Crippa get it?

[kruddler]

That was Cripps last chance to win a brownlow.

Walsh and co will start pulling their weight a lot more from here on out.

Disappointed.

Boy the club owe Cripps with some proper team success ASAP!  What a season for him in a team languishing on the bottom for most of it. Unbelievable.

Fair point.....Fyfe will go down as a great now he has two brownlows but Cripps might get that couple of premierships
that Fyfe wont unless he leaves the Dockers.

Geelong loses twice ... perfect

Cripps was stuffed after carrying the midfield for half a year with 4 kids trying to help him.
Second half of the year he faded.
Might bode well for the team when the load is spread properly

Dangerfields sooky face once he knew he had lost was a carbon copy of Ablett when he was favourite to win. Like a spoilt kid that didn’t get his way.

No wonder they are so disliked.

Fyfe a worthy winner imo. Likeable fellow. Well done.

I said just that when I saw Dangerfield's sulky puss face???? well deserved non winner imo

Don’t agree. Cripps hasn’t peaked yet the majority of the leagues best are at their peak.

Plus we will win more next year and winning teams get more votes.

I’m very confident he will have 2 at least before his career is over.

Walsh polled well for a 1st yr draftee.
Well done to all our boys who got votes.

How could you possibly compare Fyfe to Cripps?  Another sad joke.

Fyfe is a very worthy winner and a great player.

[LP]

Well done Cripps, I think the votes basically went as expected.

It's tough to win the Brownlow now if you are Vic based and you have a interstate player in form and playing most games,  they get votes at their home ground, the crowd influence means the big names only have to play half a game to poll a vote at home.

For example Rnd 23, many media had Cripps potentially BoG in a losing side with Dangerfield and Ablett, yet he didn't even poll a vote at Simonds Stadium! Round 17 Cripps was nearly unanimously BoG in media, and didn't even get a vote, we had Newman BoG though!

Brownlow voting in some respect is no different to awarding free kicks!

The key to getting Cripps a Brownlow is for Carlton fans to sign up and show up with their voice volume set to 11!

This is another hidden cost of ditching Princes Park, the Collo gift that keeps on giving!
