I don't make the rules. 😂

Almost feels like a bit of a throwaway award this year anyway - No pomp, no ceremony. I know there is no money floating around to do this thing, but it's just cheapened what should be a great night for players and their families/friends etc.

Different methodology of voting for them.  

In the Johnny Warren Medal, votes are cast after each game (on a 3-2-1 basis) by four experts: a former professional player, a technical expert (including Socceroos coaches), the match officials from that game, and finally a senior member of the Australian football media.  

Young Footballer of the Year is drawn from the monthly nominees voted on by technical experts and the media, with the overall winner selected by them and a fan vote.

Fair enough, that makes sense. Of course even if it was the same methodology for both it's still possible for it to have gone the way it did. I'm just outraged on behalf of our man is all.

At least they didn't disrespect him as much as they did Libby!
