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.
Collingwood
Nick Daicos
This is a pretty obvious one, considering that Daicos will likely win the Brownlow Medal this season. It's been a long time coming for Nick, having finished second in 2024 despite breaking the votes record and third in 2023 - a year he probably would have won it had he not suffered a late-season injury.
It's truly wild to consider how strongly Daicos has polled in the dawn of his AFL career. Collingwood is Daicos' team - in Zero Hanger's AFL MVP voting, Daicos had 132 more votes than the next Magpie - so one can only imagine just how many votes he'll tally on Monday night after a top four finish.
Who else?
