Re: Brownlow Medal Thread 2019: Can Crippa get it?

Congratulations to Fyfe who won well and spoke very well.
Hawthorn had 14 players poll.
Carlton, Port, Richmond and St Kilda had 13
Everyone else except Melbourne (7) and Gold Coast (5) had 10-12 players get votes.
Carlton finished 12th in terms of total votes for clubs and 15th for average votes per player (4.62)
Not that you would use Brownlow votes as a metric, but we did better than our finishing position on the ladder.
Mainly because of one guy - stating the obvious, the load needs sharing.
Most pleasing was that many of our vote-getters are from the younger brigade - Walsh, SPS, Setterfield, McKay, Weitering, Kennedy, Charlie. Makes quite a change from the same-old names that have appeared during recent years.
