In our equivalent of the Superbowl (AFL Grand Final) there is nothing more empty a feeling than a player from the losing team winning our version of the MVP. It's happened more than once, and on one famous occasion in 1989 (not sure if true or apocryphal) the winner of the Norm Smith Medal (MVP) in our then so-called VFL Grand Final was from the losing team- Gary Ablett and he is said to have famously tossed his medal in the rubbish bin in the dressing rooms.
So you're on solid professional sporting grounds for your mic drop Bobfather! Even the winners don't like it- i kinda like the sentiment and the unintended saltiness to it ('you done won player of the game and your team still lost!!)
