Brownlow Medal: Most Likely to Win? And Other Hilarious Footy Shenanigans!

Find out who’s got the best chance at the Brownlow, the craziest moments in history, and why it’s not all beer and footy!

The Brownlow Medal is fast approaching, and there's no shortage of excitement surrounding this prestigious award celebrating the AFL's fairest and best players. As we gear up for the ceremony, teams are weighing in on their top contenders. Is this the year a Collingwood superstar etches their name in history with a win? Early predictions suggest that more than just Collingwood players are in the running; Izak Rankine and his potential for a solid vote tally have everyone buzzing, even if that pesky suspension might rain on his parade!

But it’s not all just about who’s going to shine on the night. We’re taking a stroll down memory lane to revisit some of the wackiest moments in Brownlow history. From fake merchandise to wardrobe malfunctions, footy’s most glamorous night isn’t always as smooth as a perfectly executed kick after the siren. Josh Barnes takes us through a hilarious retrospective sure to make you chuckle!

As expert analysts gather their predictions, tensions rise as they debate their picks. Ten out of thirteen of our experts are on the same page, but watch out for that wildcard candidate picked by Kane; nothing like a cheeky underdog to shake things up! And as we watch the countdown to the announcement, it’s all speculation and fun, especially with notice that Errol Gulden could end up stealing crucial votes from his teammate, Isaac Heeney. In footy, every vote counts, right?

It’s also worth noting that Dangerfield is this close to breaking a record – one three-vote game away from matching Gary Ablett's all-time record of 55. If he pulls it off this year, you better believe it will lead to a celebration that even footy-loving kangaroos in the outback wouldn’t want to miss! Just remember what Charles Brownlow himself said: 'Keep clear of the beer. It’s no good!' I guess that’s the secret to long-lasting footy fame! Here’s hoping we don’t see too many crazy mishaps this year!

In conclusion, as the winners are prepared to take the stage, just know that while there’s a lot of serious business in finding the best player, there will always be the hilarity of those unexpected moments that define the spirit of the Brownlow Medal. Will your favorite player take home the medal or will wacky shenanigans steal the show? Stay tuned this Brownlow season, mates!
