Keogh the reason we're all rejoicing about Cripps winning the Brownlow is because we're still recovering from the giant kick in the balls the Pies gave us in Rd 23. It doesn't delete that game but purely from a supporter banter point of view, along with them losing a prelim by a point, we finally have right of reply & a bit of a spring in our step.
You might be a bit removed from their supporters over in WA, but here in the northern suburbs of Melbourne it's been a pretty rough flower month to say the least.
Some of your suggestions aren't bad, & might catch on one day. I don't mind the idea of getting the umps to submit their votes on the Monday.
But in the meantime, that moment he got the 3 against the filth is one that I'll cherish forever.

Living 3000 km away makes no difference
In fact Carlton has the highest supporter base of all the Victorian clubs in the AFL in WA
Whilst I still follow the club I am not as emotionally invested in it like I was even a few years ago
It can happen as you get older
A mate who lives in Perth who I have known since school days feels the same.
We haven’t won a lot over the last 30 years so I get the feeling people have about Cripps winning
He is a magnificent player
Thing is it’s a team game
Not about individuals in the general context
The last 4 weeks were incredibly disappointing to me because the guy who has carried us on his shoulders Since he was the teenager was doing it again
For me I was happy he won
He is also a good bloke well grounded . That’s what can happen when your brought up in Northampton
But happy is the extent of it
We were pretty shit as a team from round 11 onwards
So really all I care about is being a top 4 team
An individual winning a Brownlow imo doesn’t make a hell of a difference when it comes to developing into a real contender
Judging by Vossys and Cook’s body language they feel the same
