In effect he stood over the other umpires and swayed their votes, some call it bullying!
The AFL should require the umpires to vote anonymously and independently, then calculate the 3-2-1 from the anonymous votes!
And you could end up with four players tied on four votes.
The voting system isn't broken and, as Blue Moon put it, it's the worst system apart from any other. Leave it be.
