MORE Brownlow content? Don't mind if I do.

Sunday night's Brownlow Medal count is one that will live long in the memory for those with a vested interest in the history of the Carlton Football Club.

But which other Blues broke droughts on the night of nights?

- A 27-year first

It was the game where, on Monday morning, Patrick Cripps proclaimed he “wanted to put [Adam Cerra] in a headlock”. Before the count, all the predictors said the same thing: Cripps was a certainty for three votes, and Cerra was incredibly likely to receive his first Carlton vote.

As things panned out, both were among the votes, but it was Cripps with one and Cerra with three. Come the end of the night, it mattered not, given the Carlton captain was called the 2022 Brownlow Medallist.

And for Cerra, it accomplished a Carlton feat not seen in 27 years: it was in Round 1 in 1995 when Matt Clape - who also switched from a West Australian club - polled the maximum three votes on his Carlton debut.

- It’s not so easy as one, two, three

When Sam Docherty won the David Parkin Medal in 2017 for his starring role against Hawthorn, he would’ve thought that would be the day he polled his first lot of three Brownlow votes. It wasn’t to be: he polled just the one vote.

It happened again on Sunday night, when the same medal that he won in 2022 was met with a one-vote performance. This came after a 39-disposal performance against Sydney in 2017 was rewarded with two votes, and he didn’t even register a vote for a 32-disposal showing against Essendon in 2020 when games were played with shortened quarters.

It would be against the red and black where he would finally break his three-vote duck.

Docherty wouldn’t be denied in Round 13, where he recorded 33 disposals and seven rebounds yielded the maximum amount of coaches’ votes — and then, finally, Brownlow Medal votes.

- Something’s gotta give

In Round 17, when Cripps had polled one vote and Matthew Kennedy received two, a compromise had to be reached.

In that game against West Coast, both Charlie Curnow and Harry McKay kicked five goals. Up until that point in their careers, whenever the key forwards kicked a handful of goals, they featured in the votes.

Curnow had done it six times prior to that contest, while McKay had done it on three occasions for a 100 per cent polling record.

It was McKay who took the bragging rights on this occasion, with his three goals in the final term as the Blues ripped the game away from the Eagles seemingly being the clincher.

- Completing the set

You didn’t think we’d get through a 2022 Brownlow Medal article without a Patrick Cripps mention, did you?

It was always likely given the position he found himself in going into the night, but the superstar midfielder has now polled against all 17 other teams in the competition. His Round 7 showing against North Melbourne was always going to garner maximum votes, before he polled two against the Giants in Round 19 make it a full complement.

Sam Walsh nearly joined him, given he too also polled against North Melbourne, but that elusive first vote against the Western Bulldogs remains. All eyes on the 2023 count…
