lol, these votes are crazy

“Matt Rowell has polled 3 votes in three games where he didn't poll a single coaches' vote - Round 4 vs Crows, Round 7 vs Swans, and Round 9 vs Dogs.”

This voting is utter rubbish.
Crows win by 100 and Rowell gets 2 votes but even the crowd groaned when NWM didn’t get the 3 against Melbourne

..... and they give Viney the 3 votes. Maybe they should rename it the Michael Pell medal.

Oh so lets give another award that the media votes on then? there is already 100 of them.

Its unique, its not perfect, but its how they see it...why not just respect that?

Not to forget the fairest part of the award, its not necessarily just the best player

Hooray! Some logic! I like it.

I agree, it's not perfect but because the media don't agree with it it 'has to be changed'. No it doesn't. The media just need to accept it. No doubt the radio stations and TV will bombard us with 'he was robbed'. Big deal.

I found it interesting that Rankine was still eligible for the medal.

It’s voted on by umpires. They are not there to watch how well people are playing.. The Brownlow like all other awards voted on by umpires are always subject to severe eyebrow raising.

Also, given that this cohort of umpires are the worst the game has ever seen I’m not sure why you wouldn’t expect them to have different views.
