Voting procedure
The three field umpires (those umpires who control the flow of the game, as opposed to goal or boundary umpires) confer after each match and award three votes, two votes, and one vote to the players they regard as the best, second-best and third-best in the match, respectively. The votes are kept secret until the awards night, and they are read and tallied on the evening.Brownlow Medal history and winners - AFL.com.au http://www.afl.com.au/news/event-news/brownlow/about-the-brownlow 27 August 2018 afl.com.au
As the medal is awarded to the fairest and best player in the league, those who have been suspended during the season by the AFL Tribunal (or, who avoided suspension only because of a discount for a good record or an early guilty plea) are ineligible to win the award; however, they may still continue to poll votes. The most notable 2014 case was 's Nat Fyfe; after Ablett's injury, Fyfe became the strong favourite to poll the most votes, but he was already ineligible after being suspended for two weeks for a bump on Gold Coast's Michael Rischitelli in round 2, and he was suspended again for two weeks after striking 's Jordan Lewis in round 21.The Age Fairfax Media http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/freo-blunder-leaves-suspended-nat-fyfe-with-extra-points-20140819-105zab.html Freo blunder leaves suspended Nat Fyfe with extra points 19 August 2014 15 September 2014 Hogan Jesse
