Gary Ablett won his third consecutive Leigh Matthews Trophy last week, and while the award is becoming increasingly prestigious amongst the AFL community, isn’t the timing of the vote like announcing the Norm Smith Medal at three-quarter time in the Grand Final?The award, which is voted entirely by AFL players, is intended to decide who is the league’s Most Valuable Player (or the MVP) for a particular season.
Due to the fact it is voted upon by the players, the honour obviously has some prestige.
The upsurge in interest in the Leigh Matthews Trophy has occurred (not only thanks to Foxtel) due to the problem the AFL has with their major individual honour, the Brownlow medal.
