The AFL Umpires Association notes that police have laid charges in relation to suspicious gambling activities detected on the 2021 and 2022 Brownlow medal.
Casting votes on the Brownlow medal is an honour that AFL Umpires hold dear, and they are extremely mindful of the obligations that come with that. This investigation further underlines those obligations.
Given the matter of suspicious gambling on the 2021 and 2022 is now before the courts the AFLUA will not provide any further comment on this matter.
