Geez last night highlighted just how political has the AFL become? Think Sam Newman had a point!
The count should be about showcasing the best players of the year and that alone and in that case could be done comfortably in 90-120 mins but they drag it on and on with all the BS segments in between every round.
I used to really enjoy the brownlow but like many things about the AFL these days reckon they have ruined it.

The AFL is morphing into show business (and bloody big business at that) rather than sport. Razzamatazz is everything!
Reality always wins in the end.

Come to think of it, that might be a bit unfair. Imagine if Danger hadn't been suspended and was in the lead in the last round only to be pipped at the last second. Then he would have had to affix a nice smile and hand over the medal he almost won ... brutal.
What if a player goes back to back, does he present the medal to himself? ;D
