🚨 breaking news: Big shift: Craig McRae, Collingwood Head Coach, Angrily Announced His Resignation and Departure Following….. more details ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

AFL fans and pundits are once again calling for a re-think of the Brownlow Medal voting system after Patrick Cripps won with a record tally on Monday night. The Carlton star smashed the previous Brownlow votes record, dominating the count and securing his second medal with three rounds left.

Cripps got 45 votes on Monday night, including 12 three-vote games out of the 24 rounds. Apabila Collingwood young gun’s tally of 38 would have won any other Brownlow count in the past, he beat fellow pre-count favourite Nick Daicos by seven votes. Selain itu, his runner-up total melampaui sejarah 36 yang telah dipecahkan oleh Richmond’s Dustin Martin (2017) dan Port Adelaide’s Ollie Wines (2021).

Walau bagaimanapun, beberapa suara yang menyedihkan telah menghidupkan semula perdebatan tentang keperluan untuk mengubah sistem. The Brownlow system, which is voted on by the umpires alone, has long been known to favor midfielders because they are the players who get the most of the ball.

Namun, banyak orang di seluruh dunia AFL menyatakan bahawa Cripps’s season wasn’t the greatest season ever. Selain itu, pakar AFL telah meneliti beberapa pilihan yang dia perolehi.

Despite only being the 11th-best player on the ground according to the Player Ratings system, he received two votes against Essendon in Round 13. He was voted as the second-best player on ground by the umpires walaupun dia hanya melakukan 14 peratus efficiency dan 19 disposals. A total of 17 times, a player polled three Brownlow votes but the coaches did not give a single vote. A lot of people think the AFL Coaches Association Award is a better way to pick the best player of the year, and there’s a clear disagreement between what coaches and umpires look for.
