Following Cripps Brownlow Medal win, there is an episode podcast from the ESPN Footy Podcast where Jake Michaels and Jarryd Barca discuss the 2024 Brownlow Medal, and who is likely to feature at the pointy end of Monday’s count!
The Brownlow Medal is the highest individual honour in the AFL. In 2024, ESPN is once again giving you an advantage with our unique predictor, which has correctly picked seven out of the past 10 winners, as well as 88% of all top 10 finishers in that span. 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. Over the course of the season, the difference between the predictor and the actual votes a player tallies will 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.
