AFL 2020: Brownlow Medal Details, where is the Brownlow Medal in...

GOLD COAST – Up to 98 players will be distributed across six carefully prepared locations for the Brownlow Medal on Sunday.

Foxfooty.com.au received the invite list and a memo sent to clubs and managers listing a vote “slightly different” from anyone else in history.

Four, five or six players have received invitations from each club.

In a break with tradition, players were encouraged to wear a lounge suit and tie, and “dress according to their personality and style” instead of a strict black tie dress code.

Channel 7 studios will house players in Melbourne and Sydney, while Optus Stadium, Metricon Stadium, Gabba and Adelaide Oval will house players currently in their respective states.

The production team has been told that Gillon McLachlan will likely read voices from Metricon Stadium.

There will be no red carpet arrivals and partners will be allowed to attend anywhere except Melbourne.

“Each location is set to ensure that COVID-safe measures are taken,” the memo reads.

“Players will be served food and drink throughout the evening, and comfortable seating will be arranged for players to participate and see the number of live votes. The winner’s presentation will take place at the location where the 2020 Brownlow medalist (s) will be present. ”

The league has gone to great lengths to organize an event that it hopes will maintain the prestige of the award and adhere to strict health guidelines. The look of having a big party in Queensland, for example, would not have had anything to do with the values ​​of the season.

For the two teams playing in a grand final six days later, they will be assigned a separate viewing room in the location closest to their club to “ensure the integrity of the bubble is maintained”.

On September 16, the AFL announced that the 2020 Brownlow Medal will take place as a virtual event.

The league said there would be no “stand-alone” role but has since decided to organize half a dozen mini-functions across Australia to house players, coaches, captains, CEOs and presidents.

McLachlan told reporters at the AFL Transition Hub that the Brownlow Medal would be a “hybrid” event.

Ultimately, the final plans appear to be in line with McLachlan’s original statement.

“In the current environment, it’s incredibly difficult to responsibly bring people together in event spaces, and community safety has been a top priority in every decision we’ve made,” said Kylie Rogers, general manager of Commercial and Customer, last year Month.

“While the red carpet glamor is missing this year, we look forward to delivering a special format designed specifically for the broadcast audience at home so our fans can celebrate their heroes and achievements this year again.”

The winner will be announced around 9:15 p.m. AEDT.
