AFL Daily: Nat Fyfe Brownlow puzzle, rolling footy news for Tuesday 24 September, 2019

Nat Fyfe was universally acclaimed as a worthy Brownlow winner, but his votes in three games must have puzzled coaches who saw them very differently. 

Joe Daniher is weighing up his future.

Every Brownlow throws up voting anomalies, and Monday night produced three rippers.

They concerned runaway winner Nat Fyfe, who polled the maximum total of nine votes after best-on-grounds in Round 6 (v Western Bulldogs), Round 7 (v Adelaide) and Round 10 (v Brisbane Lions).

In the same games the AFL Coaches Association Award – in which the coaches of both teams each vote 5-4-3-2-1 – awarded Fyfe just five of a potential 30 votes, including one in Round 6 and none in Round 10.

The AFLCA award was won clearly by Marcus Bontempelli, ahead of Patrick Dangerfield and Marcus Bontempelli.
