The Brownlow Medal is the Australian Football League's (AFL) most prestigious individual award, recognizing the 'fairest and best' player during the home-and-away season.

History of the Brownlow Medal
First awarded in 1924, the Brownlow Medal is named after Charles Brownlow, a former Geelong Football Club administrator. The medal quickly became the symbol of excellence in the sport, honoring players who consistently demonstrate skill, sportsmanship, and impact on the field.
How the Brownlow Medal Works
At the conclusion of each home-and-away match, the three field umpires independently cast their votes, awarding three votes to the player they deem best on ground, two votes to the second best, and one vote to the third. These votes are tallied throughout the season, and the player with the highest total at the end of the year wins the Brownlow Medal. — CJ Stroud's House: A Look Inside His Life
