According to the ABC they did but I don't know where the official announcement from the AFL is.With Watson handing back the medal, how can the next person in the votes get the medal. If Watson had won the Brownlow and decided not to show up and accept the medal, would they give it to the runner up? Giving the medal to the runner up when it is handed back as compared to Watson being made ineligible is invalid. The runners up should not be recognised as Brownlow medal winners until the AFL declares Watson ineligible.
Has he been declared ineligible?
