Gerard Healy says: "Change the Brownlow rules"

Nice one Greggy, your fav boy Zach Merrett gets rubbed out last night so let's change the Brownlow rules.
"Oh, it was just a tackle gone wrong."
That way your fav boy is still eligible for the medal.

I'd be happy for the "fairest" provision to be removed and for all players to be eligible regardless of suspensions, but making arbitrary midway distinctions like Healy suggests is absurd, and a typically nonsensical football media thought balloon that has no purpose other than driving clicks.

Right on cue (about Kane Cornes, but the point stands):
