The Brownlow Medal is the highest individual honour in the AFL. In 2025, ESPN is once again giving you an advantage with our unique predictor, which has correctly picked eight out of the past 11 winners, as well as 86% of all top 10 finishers in that time.
Most Brownlow Medal predictors use a standard 3-2-1 voting structure, mirroring what the umpires do after each game. ESPN's system, however, does things a little differently. A player can be allocated 3, 2.5, 2, 1.5, 1 or 0.5 votes per game, resulting in a much lower margin for error.
For example, in a game where it's difficult to split two players for best on ground honours, this system would give 2.5 votes to each, as opposed to one being given 3 and the other receiving 2. Over the course of the season, the difference between the predictor and the actual votes a player tallies will likely be much closer, and therefore far more accurate. There are still six votes allocated to players per match, and can be done through any combination of the above scores.
