AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan has confirmed there could be a change to the way the Mark and Goal of the Year awards are decided.
Collingwood's Jeremy Howe was a short-priced favourite for the Mark of the Year award, but was sensationally beaten by Essendon's Joe Daniher, who amassed 52.7% of the fan vote, compared to Howe's 40.7%.
The controversy is reminiscent of the 2011 award, when Andrew Walker's mark over Jake Carlisle was being touted as possibly the greatest mark of all time, before being pipped for the award by Collingwood's Andrew Krakouer.
Richmond small forward Daniel Rioli was also a surprise winner of the Goal of the Year category, with many experts believing Lance Franklin's boundary line goal against Adelaide in round 22 was a more worthy winner.
As it stands, both the Mark and Goal of the Year awards are voted on by the public, but McLachlan confirmed on Thursday the league will look into thew voting process for the coming years.
"We'll have a look at it because there's been discussion about it," McLachlan told Fairfax Media.
The AFL's chief also touched on possible changes to the MRP, after Hawthorn champion Luke Hodge suggested every player's record should be wiped at the start of the finals.
This would avoid the recent scenario that saw Trent Cotchin and Richmond fans hold their breath over a minor incident, that would have seen the Tigers' skipper miss the grand final if he was fined for his hit on GWS Giant Dylan Shiel.
"Anything about the MRP, (new football operations boss) Steve Hocking is going to have a look at it like he does a lot of stuff," McLachlan said.
"Steve Hocking, I know, is going to come in with fresh eyes and have a look at every department of footy operations."
