The AFL finds itself without a contingency plan for a potentially awkward situation — the prospect of Isaac Heeney winning the Brownlow Medal.
It is understood the league has not yet formulated any response or strategy for the eventuality of Heeney claiming the prestigious award, despite the scenario being a genuine possibility.
The lack of preparation raises questions about how the AFL would handle the circumstances surrounding such an outcome, with no formal plan currently in place to navigate what could prove to be a complicated situation for the competition.
The Brownlow Medal, awarded annually to the competition's best and fairest player, remains one of Australian rules football's most high-profile individual honours.
