As the plane took off from Tokyo the night before, Matt Rowell had been leading the Brownlow after 14 rounds. That Rowell was the eventual winner was not the reason for the laughter – he is an excellent player. Max Gawn and Christian Petracca show their disbelief that Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera missed getting the three votes. If one game summed up the absurdity of the Brownlow Medal it was this. If one game alone can finally instigate a change to this award, it should be this.
