THAT’S a wrap.
The official AFL proceedings for Carlton’s 2020 season came to an end on Sunday night at the 2020 Brownlow Medal.
On a night where Brisbane’s Lachie Neale romped to a deserved win, it was Carlton’s spread of contributors which was the story of the vote count from a Navy Blue perspective.
A stunning season duly rewarded.

With 15 Blues polling, Carlton had the equal-second most vote-getters on the night (with Richmond), behind only Port Adelaide.
While Sam Walsh was awarded the 2020 rebel Mark of the Year, the second-year Blue was pipped by co-captain Patrick Cripps in Carlton’s vote count.
For the third straight season, Cripps polled more votes than any other Blue, largely thanks to best-on-ground performances against Geelong (Round 3) and Fremantle (Round 12).
In polling 10 votes, Cripps surpassed Anthony Koutoufides to officially enter the Club's all-time top 10: the youngest player to do so.
Walsh’s stunning end to the year was reflected with votes in three of his final four games, while Levi Casboult polled his first career Brownlow votes in nine years. David Cuningham, Zac Fisher and Michael Gibbons joined him with their maiden votes on Brownlow night.
The Club’s 2020 John Nicholls Medal will be awarded in February, with the intention of honouring retired greats Kade Simpson and Matthew Kreuzer amongst the Carlton family.
Here’s how every Carlton game went down on the night, plus the Club’s leaderboard come the end of Round 18.
