The fact that umpires give the votes for the Brownlow is not the main reason the Brownlow is shit, though it is a reason.
The main reason is the voting system of 6 votes are given of 3, 2 and 1 for every game no matter how good or bad. Also, someone getting 3 votes is considered 3 times the player of someone getting 1 vote, who is considered infinitely better than the 4th best player.
Every player should get a score out of 10, like SEN use to. I dont expect the umpires to do that, but should be some judging panel
