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.

    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

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
