The AFL wants a return on their 'investment'.
Having a Rising Star winner from a team they re bankrolling gives them that.

I can accept Hogan winning, what I can't accept is that based on their respective seasons how one-sided the vote was.

9 out of 10 vote for Hogan in a contest the AFL touted as possibly a draw. Look at the pre-vote odds! Cripps $2.30 - Hogan $1.60 the next closest was $51

Something is clearly crook, if I was a bookmaker I'd be asking some very, very hard questions of the authorities right now!

Another indicator is Brownlow betting, Cripps is averaging 1000:1 but Hogan is not even listed on most sites. That's what the punters think of it!

KB is on radio saying he thinks Cripps, but this year KB is a voter in the award. Even if Carlton won a match by 50 goals KB would probably give the votes to an opposition player!


So KB is the only one that gave Cripps top votes  ::)

According to SEN the tops votes were given to Cripps by Kevin "Shifter" Sheehan.

I hope KB has publicly claimed he gave 5 to Cripps, because if Sheehan also gave Cripps 5? ??? :o

KB said he thought Cripps would win, doesn't mean he gave Cripps 5. As if he would??

Nah
It's like saying you think Tony Abbott will win an election
Doesn't mean you vote for him.

Is there a formula that judges have to follow?
Is it based on potential or based on the year that they have had?

I think, (don't know) it is 10 judges who all vote 5,4,3,2,1 each from the 22 or 23 nominated players throughout the year.

If true, only 1 out of the 10 had Cripps ahead of Hogan.

Guys.  Ease up. It's no big deal.  

More of a popularity contest than anything. Both would have been worthy winners.

I guess if you look on the bright side that means the others all had him second.

Which is not saying much when it was said to be a 2 horse race. ;)

That is correct correct.

I think I read that the same same ten judges vote 5,4,3,2,1 each week for each rounds nomination, the highest ranked qualified player who is not yet already nominated gets a nod. So they end up with no duplicates.

Then they vote again 5,4,3,2,1 after the last round to decide the winner from all the nominations.

How idealistic are 27 of the voters on this forum?

Unfortunately, all of us who know better voted no, and were proven correct.

I was actually hoping we would all be wrong and for the faith in humanity to be restored, but this award has left me dead cold.
