The1934Brownlow Medal was the 11th year the award was presented to the player adjudged thefairest and best player during theVictorian Football League (VFL) home-and-away season.[1]Dick Reynolds of theEssendon Football Club won the medal by polling nineteen votes during the1934 VFL season.[2]
In the last game of the 1934 season, Haydn Bunton Sr dominated; and, as he walked off the ground, he made a flippant remark to umpireJack McMurray Sr., along the lines of: "That wasn't bad today, Jack."
"Never try to bribe an umpire," McMurray apparently replied—and left him out of the votes. Bunton lost the Brownlow medal to Dick Reynolds by one vote.[3]
