CARLTON superstar Patrick Cripps and reigning AFL Players' Association Most Valuable Player has sensationally been snubbed by teammates for this year's award.

Cripps was overlooked for the award with the Blues playing group voting for Jack Martin, Sam Walsh and Jacob Weitering instead.

Geelong superstar Patrick Dangerfield missed out on a nomination for the third year running, while another surprising omission was Collingwood captain Scott Pendlebury.

The award sees players choosing three teammates, with the three nominees then presented to the entire AFL player population to vote for a winner. Players cannot vote for their teammates in the second stage.

The winner will be announced next Thursday night. 

The 22under22 team will be announced next Tuesday, along with Most Courageous, Best First Year and Best Captain, which every skipper is automatically nominated for.
