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.

The effing umpires cant get the game rules right so why would you trust them with votes.
Don't give it to the media - use the Coaches' votes.
They see the game far better than any of us
The Brownlow is the Brownlow, whether you agree with them or not is irrelevant, they see and hear what we don't.
As mentioned previously that perhaps the APLPA MVP or coaches award should hold more creedence, well let it, have a dinner for them nights, cover them in glory and put it in the history books.
Obviously the Brownlow doesn't go how everyone thinks it would/should, that is the beauty of it, I can't thin kof a mre deserves winner than Matty Rowell, he lives and breathes the game, he'd be the one handing the ball back to the ump at almost every ball up from the bottom of the pack, he is the complete package as a player, he does it all.
Also eats it
