Theย Zero Hangerย team have made their predictions ahead of the 2024 Brownlow Medal count, with a trio of contenders all tipped to take out the prestigious honour.
Collingwood's Nick Daicos is predicted to take out the award by five of our nine judges, with Patrick Cripps (four) and Marcus Bontempelli (two) also tipped to win the award, with two ties expected.
Our team predicts at least 31 votes will be needed to take out the award, while Sydney is the heavily backed favourite to poll the most team votes - earning eight of nine votes.
Jason Horne-Francis, Tom Green and Caleb Serong are among the names to be tipped as top five smokeys, but it's Gold Coast's Noah Anderson who leads the category with five of nine selections.
