Should we still value the Brownlow as the AFL’s top award?

Gold Coast Sun Matt Rowell has taken home the top gong in the footy world, but is it still the most prestigious award in the industry? The footy world was shocked Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera didn't receive the full three points in Round 20. Should Izak Rankine been made ineligible, even though his suspension wasn't deemed a football act. Plus Zach Merrett has spoken for the first time since his meeting with Sam Mitchell, should have he fronted up sooner?
