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 are read and tallied on the evening.

Ineligible players

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. Some Australian rules football journalists argued that Judd was lucky to escape any AFL Tribunal action following an incident involving Fremantle's Matthew Pavlich in round 13, where Judd elbowed Pavlich in the face.[4][5] Additionally, Judd served a three-match suspension during the 2010 season, but because the incident for which he was suspended took place in the 2009 finals, this did not affect his eligibility.[6]

gollark: They just named it that because XML was trendy at the time.
gollark: XmlHTTPRequest doesn't even have much to do with XML.
gollark: XmlHTTPRequest is an annoying API and you should use promise-based ones like fetch anyway.
gollark: Probably!
gollark: Well, I looked it up and there's a random NPM package for that, but it's not built-in and appears to have not been updated in 5 years.
