Because not only do the umpires only give votes to midfielders, they have a select group of about 6-8 MFs that they reward with 3 votes. As the years go by, forwards and defenders receive fewer and fewer votes- its all concentrated on a select group of MFs. Hence, the leaders will all rack up 30+ votes. It will only get worse.
Lack of tagging also helps these days. About 10 years ago, tagging was in fashion and each team had a specialised tagger. Nowadays, it is Matt De Boer and not very much else.
 
Gil pausing before every vote for one of the leaders is annoying af and gives away who is getting the vote.

Genuinely think he's not smart enough to realise you do it for every 3 votes a favourites team gets, not every vote a favourite gets.

Those were all pretty good nominees but I would have given it to Riewoldt. Back with the flight is always more impressive.

Shai lack the polish of presentation we’ve become used to from Liam Ryan.
 
My God this is tedious. Speed it up AFL.

The Brownlow needs to be moved to the ABC so there aren't commercial breaks every five minutes prolonging the agony.
