Brownlow Medal Predictions
On the awards front, Collingwood’s Nick Daicos led predictions, thanks to his consistent 30+ disposal games and match-winning plays. Close behind was Geelong’s Bailey Smith, whose explosive midfield dominance and late-season form made him a contender.

Gold Coast’s Noah Anderson emerged as a dark horse, dominating clearances, while Adelaide captain Jordan Dawson balanced leadership with clutch performances. Fremantle’s Caleb Serong rounded out the favorites, leveraging his contested-ball prowess to propel the Dockers into finals.
