HOW THE BROWNLOW MEDAL WORKS

The Brownlow Medal is also known as the Charlie Brownlow Trophy and is awarded to the best and fairest player in each AFL season. The award is voted for by umpires after each game of the season, with the votes totalled up on Brownlow Medal night five days before the AFL Grand Final.

The Brownlow Medal is the most prestigious award available to players of the game and has an illustrious honour roll since first being awarded in 1924.

Umpires give points to players in each game of the season on a 3-2-1 basis and the player at the end of Brownlow Medal night with the greatest number of votes is awarded the medal.

Any player who is suspended during the regular season is deemed ineligible for the Brownlow Medal and cannot win the award regardless of the number of votes they collect throughout the season.
