Carlton AFL captain Patrick Cripps has won his first Brownlow Medal in a thrilling count.

Cripps snatched the lead with three votes in Carlton's heartbreaking round-23 loss to Collingwood to win the AFL's highest individual honour on 29 votes ahead of Brisbane's Lachie Neale (28 votes) and Gold Coast's Touk Miller (27).

He is the first Blue to win the Brownlow since former skipper Chris Judd in 2010.
