I have received an email regarding voting for players for the above mentioned awards.
It would appear that there is no awards night again this year, awards will be presented at halftime at the grand final.
If this is the case then it’s a further indication of professional football going on a downward trend.

We have bigger problems for sure I think the brownlow being a whole night is an Australian thing. Do other countries do that?

Just announce the players and let them give a interview and should still be able to get a bit of press if they are smart

Doesn’t England also have award nights like the London Football Awards?

Player awards are part and parcel of sport in Australia so why should Football be different.
It’s there to acknowledge people’s contribution to the sport. It’s a bit disingenuous to say that they should just give an interview and hopefully get some publicity for their achievements.
Poor form in my opinion.
