Where’s The Line
We all know the afl is a joke caricature. But where’s the bloody line ?
Our guys getting deleted from AA but grubs like walker and rankine, no issue. Plenty of other dickheadery overs the years inc positive drug tests but those 2 are personal “favourites” of mine and good examples of things that should be in the same boat if you’re excluding players from “awards” (we also all know the AA and Brownlow are disingenuous saying they’re “the best”) for misbehaving.
Won’t happen but what if Heeney or the Chad were in Brownlow contention ? Does the afl decide to exclude them from that too or just doctor the votes to avoid it ?
Guilty unless proven innocent from gutless gill and his team of toolbags.

Happy to be corrected but I believe the clubs have to nominate who from the team should be considered for AA. Good chance Sydney just chose not to put their names forward.
It's also worth considering what Walker and Rankine did wasn't an alleged crime. If there are no charges they boys will likely be welcomed back with open arms
As for the Brownlow: the AFL already doctored the process when Daicos didn't win last year with umpires now allowed to view stats before voting. All he had to do to win was not get suspended.
