It's always up to the discretion of the AFL Commission - They will make an appropriate decision that suits the circumstances - One thing I'm certain of is if Watson is stripped of the Brownlow no medal will be issued for 2012.
Richmond and Hawks fans have been the most vocal about it their tears will be delicious if no winner is awarded.

Technically Jobe should be able to keep his medal considering the AFL found him not guilty of taking a banned substance but It won't happen.

It ******* sucks that he will be the first person in the history of the league to have his medal taken away.

You can't sign up to WADA then ignore it when it doesn't suit. What nonsense.
Agree with this. He either fights the suspension and appeals to clear his name and retain the Brownlow or he cops the suspension and hands his medal back.

I don't see how he can retain the Brownlow if history shows he was guilty of an ADRV that season.

History will say he won the brownlow and that's something they can never take away the only difference is he won't have the medal to show it imo.
Tell Marion Jones that.

(Yes I know Jobe and Marion are vastly different, but Jobe keeping his medal would be as bad a Marion keeping hers)

I honestly don't give two shits if Jobe keeps his medal, gives up the medal, sells the medal, burns the medal and snorts its tasty ashes, or throws the medal into the sea and dramatically yells "if I can't have you, no one else can!"

Jobe will forever be a champion of this club, one of the greatest captains it has ever had, and a favourite son. Possessing or not possessing a medal will not change that.

(And just quietly, if people are worried about the integrity of the brownlow being lost, just remember it's been won by players like Woewodin and Dipper)

Just as bad as people wanting Fletcher removed from the 400 game club.
They can do that.........if they make the 2015 season null and void. No Fyfe Brownlow and no Hawks premiership.

If Jobe loses it (and I see no alternative to that happening at this point) then I couldn't really care what happens after that.

I still think the more likely option is that it will awarded to no one. But in the end, I couldn't care less.
ah, but you'd be trolling or something and how's this even an argument? and something cuss words
