Nick Daicos is once again the pick to the Brownlow Medal winner, with his 2025 season catching the eye of several award predictors.
The Collingwood star was favourite to win the award but fell well short to eventual winner Patrick Cripps.
Gold Coast star Noah Anderson and Geelong gun Bailey Smith look also to be contenders, with results varying from winning to missing the top two placings.
The Sporting News has analysed several Brownlow Medal predictors to determine who we think will win.

AFL Brownlow Medal 2025 predictors
Nick Daicos is predicted to be the winner of the 2025 Brownlow Medal - but it's worth noting he was also predicted to win last year.
Noah Anderson looks to present value in markets for top three - being on the fourth line of the betting.
Other favourites such as Bailey Smith, Jordan Dawson and Matt Rowell have much more varied results across the predictor.
