Cripps should have been rubbed out but he a great player and would love him in our midfield. Clayton at a clear disadvantage he has great mid fielders taking votes off him. It tough on Clarry

Cripps is a good player no doubt. But he didn’t deserve to even be eligible. He concussed a guy who then sat out multiple weeks. If his name is Chandler he cops 4 weeks. Instead he goes on to win the Brownlow. So much for the AFL protecting the head.

Round 23. Brisbane absolutely smashed. 

3 to either Oliver or Petracca 

1 to either Brayshaw , Jackson or Kozzzy

but no way to Neale 

wtf 

Oliver was clearly BOG that day he was possessed,

Cripps: 'I'd rather get 0 touches and win'

He'd still get the bloody three votes though

I have no explanation for it along with Touk Miller's votes against the ferals in a 10 goal loss, it defies any sort of sporting logic.

Don’t watch it and haven’t done so for 15 years. 


So are they going to retrospectively give Corey McKernan and Chris Grant their medals now?

Didnt a player get votes one year when he went off in the 1st quarter one year.

 

 Cripps said loyalty is important & stayed at Carlton and loves playing with his mates  vs Jackson motivation???

Absolute joke of an award. Sydney win by 28 points against I cant remember but other mob get all three votes! Just one of many joke votes.

At least those who know football know who was the standout this year.

You cannot tell me that we win 16 games and our best player is only BOG in 4 of them. 

Absolutely BS 

To be fair, Tracc scored very highly as well. Probably becomes hard for umpires to choose between them. I'm just happy with those two having an outstanding year

I wouldn't have begrudged Cripps a brownlow in his career but this season didn't seem right. Thought he dropped off a bit and the non suspension sucked

Sorry Mr Oliver you only got the 35 touches today that's way down on your normal game total.

Topped the club vote by the look of it.  Think we just pipped Geelong by a couple. Clarry polled in 12 games but not enough best ons unfortunately.

It wouldn't suprise me, nothing does anymore.


You know what I'm proud to have trac and Oliver in my team. They can take votes off each other for years to come because they help us become a successful team

I could be wrong but by my calculations in 2022....A sub got 1 vote and another player who did an ACL in the second quarter also got 2 votes....don't even get me started. I'm out!


Ah Chee and Neale don't approve. So glad Carlton missed finals again.

There's no way this brownlow was above board, there's just no way. Please start the investigation now, we'll stay with this all night if we have to.

 

Cripps did speak well. Id never have picked him to have a fear of speaking & it's good he got help for it.

I'm really not fussed he won it. I'm still surprised Neale got a vote against us in the final round

Agreed. The overturning of his suspension led him to get those final 3 votes

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
