Brownlow Medal FAQ
Who won the 2025 Brownlow Medal?
Matt Rowell (Gold Coast Suns) won the 2025 Brownlow Medal with 39 votes, 7 ahead of Nick Daicos on 32.
How does Brownlow Medal voting work?
After every home-and-away game the field umpires give 3 votes to the player they judged best on ground, 2 to the second best and 1 to the third. Finals don't count. The votes stay sealed until count night, the Monday before the grand final, and the player with the most votes wins the medal.
Can a suspended player win the Brownlow?
No. A player suspended by the AFL Tribunal during the season is ineligible, though their votes are still read out and counted.
Votes are from the AFL's count, game by game from 2021. Every game's 3-2-1 is on its match page.
