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.
GWS
Tom Green
Another close contest between two ball-winning stalwarts looms, but Tom Green's bull-like dominance at the heat of contests should see him claim the Giants' intraclub Brownlow count victory over teammate Finn Callaghan.
Callaghan's form following GWS' Round 16 bye could see him catch Green at some point on the night, collecting 37, 29 and 33 disposals in the three games following. He then earned best-on-ground against Sydney after breaking James Jordon's tough tag to knock the Swans out of top eight contention.
However, Tom Green's season as a whole, from a statistical standpoint, has been generational.
Since 2012, there have been three players to average at least 29 disposals per game and eight clearances: Tom Mitchell (35.3 disposals, 8.0 clearances in 2018), Clayton Oliver (32.7 disposals, 8.7 clearances in 2022) and now Tom Green (29.7 disposals, 8.5 clearances in 2025).
Mitchell, of course, won the Brownlow in 2018 while Oliver finished fourth in 2022. Based on that logic, Green should find himself inside the top five on Friday night and certainly on top for GWS.
Who else?
Finn Callaghan
