The Charles Brownlow Trophy—better known as the Brownlow Medal—is an individual award given to the player judged fairest and best in the Australian Football League during the regular season. Determined by votes cast by the officiating umpires after each game, it is considered the highest honour for individual players in the AFL. The medal has been awarded every year since 1924, with the exception of an intermission from 1942–1945, due to World War II.

Winners by season

Note: # Indicates that medal was awarded retrospectively as a countback rule was enforced until 1980

The medal was not awarded between 1942 and 1945, as a mark of respect to soldiers fighting overseas in World War II.

Ineligible players who polled the most votes

A player who is guilty of an offence deemed worthy of a suspension by the AFL's disciplinary tribunal for serious on-field offences is ineligible to win the Brownlow Medal. Suspended players have tallied the highest number of votes for the award on two occasions.

Player	Team	Year	Votes	Outcome if player was not suspended
Corey McKernan	North Melbourne	1996	21	Would have been joint winner with Hird and Voss.
Chris Grant	Western Bulldogs	1997	27	Would have won outright, beating Harvey by one vote.

Voting systems

Main article: Brownlow Medal

Since 1924, the vote system for the Brownlow has changed three times.

1924–1930	One vote per game.
1931–1976, 1978–present	Six votes per game: 3 votes, 2 votes, and 1 vote
1976–1977	Twelve votes per game: 3 votes, 2 votes, and 1 vote from each of the two field umpires
The lengths of the home and away season have also changed since 1924.
1924–1941, 1950–1967	18 games
1946–1949	19
1968–1969, 1993	20 games
1970–1992, 1994–2010	22 games
2011	22 games over 24 rounds (Each team had 2 byes due to the 17th team, the Gold Coast Suns, being launched)
2012 onwards	22 games over 23 rounds (Each team had 1 bye)

From 1930 to 1980, a countback system was used to determine the winner in the event of a tie. Under this system, the winner was the player with the most three-vote games. In 1980, the countback system was removed – in the event of a tie since then, players are considered joint winners. In 1989, the then VFL awarded retrospective medals to all players who had tied, but lost on countback, prior to 1980.
