	Brownlow Medal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Charles Brownlow Trophy, better known as the Brownlow Medal, is an annual medal awarded to the fairest and best player in the Australian Football League during the regular season (ie.
		In 1940, Des Fothergill and Herb Matthews tied for the medal and could not be separated on countback, so neither player received the real medal.
		Nowadays it is possible for multiple medals to be awarded in the event of a tie, and in 1988, players who had tied on votes but lost on countback were given retrospective medals.

	Print Article: Skilton says Adam has the goods for Brownlow medal
		Three-time Brownlow medallist Bobby Skilton says Sydney utility Adam Goodes is every chance to win the medal this year, and believes Goodes's versatility could have helped him poll votes over those who play more traditional on-field roles.
		He was recently named captain of the Swans team of the century, but despite his Brownlow success he did not play in a premiership-winning side and played in only one final, when the Swans were hammered by 53 points by St Kilda in 1970.
		"The Brownlow is not what you play footy for, you play to win and hopefully to be in a successful team and to play in a premiership side, but sometimes things don't work out that way," he said.

		The award is named after a much respected and successful administrator of the game, Charles Brownlow, whose death in January 1924 prompted the league to strike a medal in his honour.
		When the Brownlow Medal was first awarded in 1924, to Geelong's Edward "Carjii" Greeves, there was no fanfare or gala presentation ceremonies, just a passage in the minutes of a meeting of the VFL board on October 17, 1924:

		I can't believe the umpires could differ so greatly to the coaches and media awards that Tredrea would not have a Brownlow around his neck later tonight.
		Certainly deserves a medal but may have to wait another year.
		Cornes on the other hand is the reason why Port is in the grand Final, as his presence at Center Half Back has taken Port to the next dimension.

		He says he's confident that these days security around the Brownlow Medal is watertight, however he concedes that in the past there were leaks, and that even now many punters think they have inside knowledge.
		GERARD DAFFY: See, this is the contentious issue because every year even now in the Brownlow Medal there's six or eight leaks prior to - prior to the thing being awarded on the night.
		Or it could have been someone from Channel 7 because in those days it was fairly obvious from the way the votes were opened, whoever won the Brownlow every year normally won it on the last envelope opened for the night.

	Beyond My Control - The Fashion Watch Blog: Brown-high and low
		For those of you who don’t live in the South-Eastern corner of Australia, the Brownlow Medal is the award given each year to the Best and Fairest Player of the year in the Australian Football League.
		The Brownlow Medal ceremony has for many years been the haven of beer drinking men in uncomfortable tuxedos and the slightly tacky girls whose whole ambition in life is to date a footballer and get taken to the Brownlow (to make a harsh generalisation, but hey, that’s what we’re here for).
		And a couple of years ago perhaps the pinnacle of tacky Brownlow dressing was hit by Tanya Buckley, the wife (then girlfriend) of Collingwood captain Nathan Buckley, in her backless pink dress cut low enough to show off her diamante-encrusted g-string.

		This should be the case until the AFL makes a final decision on whether they will scrap the fairest tag of the medal and allow the best player to win, disregarding any indiscretions.
		The critics may say a player should be recognised for his performances through Brownlow voting, but even if they are excluded from Brownlow voting they will still get the recognition they deserve for a great year through different avenues.
		It's time for the AFL to act, if not this season surely for the next, to ensure the Medal, and star players aren't tarnished because a simple rule was not implemented.

		The Brownlow Medal rumour mill churned at extraordinary speed yesterday, with betting suspended by SportsTAB in Sydney after a plunge sparked by an email predicting that Robert Harvey was set to become a triple Brownlow medallist.

		AFL spokesman Patrick Keane said the integrity of the Brownlow count was secure, as the votes were locked away with accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers.

		West Coast midfielder Ben Cousins could become the first man in nearly 80 years to win a Brownlow Medal and captain his side to a premiership in the same season after winning the AFL's most prestigious individual player award last night.
		He has the chance to become the first player to captain his side to a premiership in the same season as winning the Brownlow since Collingwood's Syd Coventry in 1927 if he can lead his side to victory over Sydney at the MCG on Saturday.
		Cousins, Kerr and Dal Santo were the only three players left in the running for the medal with one round of votes left to count.

		The AFL remains determined to maintain the Brownlow Medal on the Monday night before the grand final despite the prospect of the winner again not being present at the count in Melbourne.

		MELBOURNE: West Coast captain Ben Cousins allowed himself 20 minutes to bask in Brownlow Medal glory, before tucking the AFL’s most-prized individual award in his drawer and forgetting about it.
		But it is only the second part of the Brownlow-premiership double that Cousins has allowed to occupy his mind this week, admitting the individual accolade had so far been just a blip on the radar.
		Cousins said the medal was sitting "at home in the drawer" and he had not been tempted to pull it out for another look.

		Just about the only honour to elude him was the Brownlow Medal (although he was runner-up in 1966).
		George Nuss was a tough rover in the Leigh Matthews mould who won the J.L. Williams Medal for the 'best and manliest player in the Commonwealth' at the 1932 and '33 national schoolboy carnivals.
		Such achievements are all the more remarkable when you consider that, between 1968 and 1973, he was also Norwood's coach, not with any conspicuous success it must be said, but in hindsight it is possible to discern how the framework for the club's noteworthy achievements under Bob Hammond and Neil Balme was constructed under Oatey.

		An award such as the Brownlow is not the ultimate measure of a player like Nathan Buckley's career.
		Also, the fact that the award rewards only the best and fairest players in 22 games shows that consistency over those rounds are rewarded, unlike the 227 games which he has played, a handful of which would have been regarded as "average" on the mere mortal scale.That is where we salute Nathan Buckley.
