Banned Swan Falls Well Short in Brownlow Medal Vote The Brownlow Medal count was always going to be a spectacle this year, but the ceremony had an air of uncertainty hanging over it due to the suspended players from the Sydney Swans.
Isaac Heeney and four other teammates were absent from the awards night, sparking questions about the integrity of the voting process.
Heeney finished outside the top five in the Brownlow Medal count, despite a respectable performance throughout the season.
