Carlton young gun Patrick Cripps has polled a team-high 18 votes to finish 13th overall at Monday night's Brownlow Medal.

The 21-year-old was adjudged best afield in the Blues' matches against Richmond, Port Adelaide and Melbourne, leading Carlton's votes for the first time in his three-year career.

His 18 votes were the highest earned by a Carlton player since Chris Judd in 2011.

Bryce Gibbs was also prominent in the voting, earning 11 votes in the first 10 rounds to finish with 13.
