The Brownlow Medal is the highest individual honour in the AFL. In 2026, ESPN is once again giving you an advantage with our unique predictor, which has correctly picked eight out of the past 12 winners, as well as 80% of all top 10 finishers in that time. Most Brownlow Medal predictors use a standard 3-2-1 voting structure, mirroring the votes awarded by the umpires after each game. ESPN's system, however, does things a little differently.
