The Chas Brownlow Trophy — better known as the Brownlow Medal, is an individual award given to the player judged best and fairest 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 for 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-present 22 games

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 and all players who had tied were awarded the medal retrospectively. In the event of a tie in the current system, the players are considered joint winners.
