Brownlow and B&F August 28, 2015, 07:05:48 pm A couple of games to go but who do folk think will....A) Be our top Brownlow vote winnerB) Win our Best and Fairest-The John Nicholl’s medalYoung Cripps spent the first bit of the year understudying Judd, but since his retirement Cripps has stepped up in a strong fashion.His clearance work has been exceptional and his close-in play is right under the umpire’s vision. I reckon he’s the type of player that will poll well in the Umpire’s award.Will it be the same in the B&F given that injury has curtailed the efforts of his competition (Murphy). Who else has had a good year? Quote Selected
Re: Brownlow and B&F Reply #1 – August 28, 2015, 07:50:14 pm Doc for B&F and top the CFC Brownlow. Cripps will be up there, and certainly be on the table for bit of chicken or beef at Crown. Quote Selected
Re: Brownlow and B&F Reply #2 – August 28, 2015, 08:12:57 pm B&F: Docherty the early runner to be over taken by Murphy for his second b&f, Cripps will make a strong run home - especially with the coach in his corner.Brownlow: Don't expect to see many votes. Murphy again. Quote Selected
Re: Brownlow and B&F Reply #3 – August 28, 2015, 09:48:58 pm I'd say B+F goes to Doc, closlely followed by Cripps and Murph.Most Brownlow votes - Murph Quote Selected

Averaging over 20 disposals a game and leading the Blues for rebounds, the ex-Lion showed his class in Round 16 against Fremantle, registering 27 disposals and a goal.PATRICK CRIPPSThe 20 year-old Blue, known by recruiters as “The Extractor” has been prolific in Carlton’s midfield in 2015, averaging 22 disposals and more than five tackles per game. The 194cm star picked up an astonishing 23 contested possessions against St Kilda in Round 4 and looms as one of the favourites to take out this year’s Rising Star award.
