The 2022 season may have ended in heartbreak against Collingwood, but Patrick Cripps’ triumphant Brownlow Medal win is something for Blues fans to cherish.
In a thrilling count, it came down to that final round with Cripps polling three votes for his 35-disposal performance in the loss to the Magpies, to finish on 29 votes – one ahead of Brisbane star Lachie Neale.
Cripps, the West Australian drafted by the Blues with pick 13 in the 2013 draft, is Carlton’s first Brownlow Medal winner since Chris Judd in 2010 and the sixth in the club’s history.
The star midfielder averaged 28 disposals per game this year, leading the Blues’ rise up the ladder under new coach Michael Voss.
Now fans can have their own memento by downloading the official 2022 Brownlow Medal winner poster to keep.
