The build-up to the AFL 2025 Grand Final kicks off on Monday with the AFL's night of nights - the Brownlow Medal count.
The AFL's top players will head to Crown Melbourne to hear the vote-getters be named for every game this season, with the umpires giving out votes on a 3, 2, 1 system for each game.
Ahead of the night, Collingwood superstar Nick Daicos appears to be the early favourite, though Adelaide captain Jordan Dawson and Geelong recruit Bailey Smith will each make a strong case to snag the famous medal.
So, who's likely to poll best from your favourite club? We explore this question, using the results of Zero Hanger's 2025 AFL MVP as a guide.
Port Adelaide
Zak Butters
Zak Butters made it three best-and-fairest medals in a row after a stellar season that was halted early by knee surgery.
There are a number of potential three-vote performances from the 25-year-old this year, including his final round send-off for club legends Travis Boak and Ken Hinkley, where he tallied 35 disposals and eight marks in the Power's upset win over Gold Coast.
Captain Connor Rozee may challenge Butters at times throughout the count, featuring as a prominent ball-winner in the first half of the season, but Port Adelaide's mediocre record in those first few months may impede his chances of ousting Butters by Round 24.
Who else?
