The Brownlow Medal Predictor is back for AFL Season 2022.
All the projected votes, vote chances, key statistics, star ratings and leaderboards will be released gradually towards the latter stages of the 2022 AFL Season.
The DailySportsBuddy Brownlow Medal Predictor uses a model that focuses on analysing matches and key statistics that have been consistent from past winners and top performers in previous Brownlow Medal Counts.
Statistics are not everything, but the award is generally a midfielder’s award, with midfielders making up most of the top ten in previous Brownlow Medal Counts.
It is impossible to predict the entire season’s votes in order, but with a bit of research, most players who are a chance of polling in any given match can be identified.
A Star ⭐ Rating is used to show the confidence level of each three-vote prediction.
⭐ = Tough Game to Pick
⭐⭐ = A Decent Chance
⭐⭐⭐ = Should get the Three Votes
Here is the Brownlow Medal Predictor for Round 4 of the 2022 AFL Season.
Good luck picking a winner for any category this season, and always remember to Gamble Responsibly.

Note – The Demons kept the Power goalless at the main break and led the match from start to finish.
Max Gawn played his best game of the season so far and was a clear best on ground. His elite tap work and contested marking went a long way to setting up another win for the Demons.
The minor votes could go several ways, but Steven May took 7 intercept marks and made it very tough for the Power forwards to have any impact in the match.
Geelong vs Brisbane
Geelong 11.14 80 – Brisbane 11.4 70
(Geelong by 10 Points)
Vote Chances
Mark Blicavs – 22 Disposals (17 Effective), 7 Marks (2 Intercept Marks and 2 Marks Inside 50), 5 Clearances, 10 Score Involvements, 8 Tackles and 18 Pressure Acts
Daniel McStay – 14 Disposals (11 Effective), 11 Marks (5 Marks Inside 50 and 4 Contested), 7 Score Involvements and 3 Goals

3 Votes (Geelong) Tom Hawkins (5) ⭐⭐
14 Disposals, 7 Marks (7 Marks Inside 50 and 5 Contested), 11 Score Involvements, 3 Tackles, 17 Pressure Acts and 5 Goals
Note – The Cats won a close contest, and veteran forward Tom Hawkins stood out with a stack of contested marks in dangerous positions. Hawkins booted 5 goals for the match and helped set up several more scoring chances for the Cats.
Isaac Smith had a big game for the Cats with a significant amount of run and carry, whilst Lachie Neale did his usual thing in the middle of the ground and is always a chance to poll.
Sydney vs North Melbourne
Sydney 13.8 86 – North Melbourne 12.3 75
(Sydney by 11 Points)
Vote Chances
Callum Mills – 28 Disposals (24 Effective and 10 Contested), 7 Marks, 7 Clearances, 6 Inside 50s, 8 Score Involvements, 8 Ground Ball Gets, 4 Tackles, 19 Pressure Acts, 435 Metres Gained and 2 Goal Assists
Oliver Florent – 23 Disposals (15 Effective), 10 Inside 50s, 5 Score Involvements, 6 Ground Ball Gets, 5 Tackles, 589 Metres Gained and 2 Goal Assists
Jack Ziebell – 9 Disposals, 3 Marks (3 Marks Inside 50), 7 Score Involvements, 3 Tackles (3 Tackles Inside 50), 1 Goal Assist and 5 Goals
Projected Votes
1 Vote (North Melbourne) Jy Simpkin (1)
33 Disposals (12 Contested), 5 Intercept Possessions, 5 Clearances, 5 Inside 50s, 6 Score Involvements, 9 Ground Ball Gets, 543 Metres Gained and 1 Goal
2 Votes (Sydney) Isaac Heeney (6)
17 Disposals (15 Effective), 5 Inside 50s, 6 Score Involvements, 11 Tackles (5 Tackles Inside 50), 27 Pressure Acts, 410 Metres Gained and 2 Goals
3 Votes (Sydney) Justin McInerney (3) ⭐
30 Disposals (24 Effective and 12 Contested), 6 Marks, 7 Clearances, 6 Score Involvements, 10 Ground Ball Gets, 419 Metres Gained and 1 Goal
Note – The Kangaroos hung in there for most of this contest, but the Swans pulled away in the final term to come up with the win.
A tough match to split the votes, but Justin McInerney finished the game well when the match was up for grabs. He racked up 14 disposals, and booted a goal in the final quarter.
The votes could go several ways in this match, with no notable standouts, and it would not be surprising if Jack Ziebel features in the votes with five goals from just the nine disposals.
Collingwood vs West Coast
Collingwood 10.14 74 – West Coast 14.3 87
(West Coast by 13 Points)
Vote Chances
Jack Crisp – 29 Disposals (22 Effective and 13 Contested), 9 Intercept Possessions, 6 Marks, 4 Clearances, 9 Inside 50s, 6 Score Involvements, 10 Ground Ball Gets, 5 One Percenters, 676 Metres Gained and 2 Goal Assists
Brody Mihocek – 13 Disposals, 8 Marks (6 Contested and 5 Marks Inside 50), 4 Inside 50s, 5 Score Involvements and 2 Goals
Willie Rioli – 13 Disposals (10 Contested), 3 Marks (2 Marks Inside 50), 3 Clearances, 5 Score Involvements, 4 Ground Ball Gets, 1 Goal Assist and 3 Goals

2 Votes (West Coast) Jeremy McGovern (2)
22 Disposals (20 Effective), 11 Intercept Possessions, 8 Marks (5 Intercept Marks), 5 Rebound 50s, 4 Ground Ball Gets, 6 One Percenters and 4 Spoils
3 Votes (Collingwood) Nick Daicos (3) ⭐
32 Disposals (25 Effective), 7 Marks, 4 Clearances, 5 Inside 50s, 10 Score Involvements, 5 Tackles, 21 Pressure Acts, 490 Metres Gained and 1 Goal Assist
Note – The Eagles hung on for their first win of the season, and their defenders were busy throughout the day and stood up with the Pies entering the forward fifty 19 more times.
Nick Daicos was probably the most noticeable player on the ground and racked up plenty of the footy, but this will be a tough match to split, with a couple of Eagles defenders having big games.
The votes in this match could go several ways, but Daicos seemed everywhere at times and is a chance despite the loss.
Richmond vs Western Bulldogs
Richmond 15.9 99 – Western Bulldogs 7.19 61
(Richmond by 38 Points)
Vote Chances
Jack Macrae – 34 Disposals (27 Effective and 16 Contested), 5 Marks, 9 Clearances, 8 Score Involvements, 9 Ground Ball Gets, 6 Tackles, 24 Pressure Acts and 1 Goal
Marcus Bontempelli – 33 Disposals (25 Effective and 13 Contested), 5 Marks, 8 Clearances, 7 Inside 50s, 13 Score Involvements, 7 Ground Ball Gets, 5 One Percenters, 541 Metres Gained, 2 Goal Assists and 1 Goal
Bailey Smith – 36 Disposals (25 Effective and 11 Contested), 6 Intercept Possessions, 7 Marks, 5 Inside 50s, 8 Score Involvements, 9 Ground Ball Gets, 4 Tackles, 26 Pressure Acts and 644 Metres Gained
Projected Votes
1 Vote (Richmond) Dion Prestia (1)
30 Disposals (21 Effective), 5 Intercept Possessions, 7 Marks, 7 Score Involvements, 7 Ground Ball Gets, 19 Pressure Acts, 2 Goal Assists and 1 Goal
2 Votes (Richmond) Jayden Short (5)
35 Disposals (26 Effective), 6 Marks, 7 Inside 50s, 4 Ground Ball Gets, 810 Metres Gained and 1 Goal
3 Votes (Richmond) Shai Bolton (4) ⭐⭐
20 Disposals (14 Effective and 13 Contested), 4 Marks (2 Marks Inside 50 and 2 Intercept Marks), 5 Clearances, 4 Inside 50s, 10 Score Involvements, 8 Ground Ball Gets, 17 Pressure Acts and 2 Goals
Note – The Tigers won, and Shai Bolton doesn’t need much of the football to stand out on the footy field. Bolton had a clear impact in this match and helped set up many of the Tigers scoring chances.
The minor votes will be favoured to go to a couple of Tigers players because of the margin, but a number of Bulldogs midfielders won a lot of the football.
Fremantle vs GWS
Fremantle 13.10 88 – GWS 8.6 54
(Fremantle by 34 Points)
Vote Chances
Griffin Logue – 17 Disposals (14 Effective), 8 Intercept Possessions, 8 Marks (5 Intercept Marks), 6 Rebound 50s, 4 Ground Ball Gets, 10 One Percenters and 9 Spoils

Projected Votes
1 Vote (Fremantle) Andrew Brayshaw (8)
26 Disposals (20 Effective), 5 Marks, 4 Inside 50s, 7 Score Involvements, 6 Tackles, 22 Pressure Acts and 1 Goal
2 Votes (Fremantle) David Mundy (2)
30 Disposals (10 Contested), 6 Clearances, 8 Ground Ball Gets, 5 Tackles and 18 Pressure Acts
3 Votes (Fremantle) Will Brodie (3) ⭐
37 Disposals (21 Contested), 6 Intercept Possessions, 6 Clearances, 6 Score Involvements, 12 Ground Ball Gets, 5 Tackles, 27 Pressure Acts, 474 Metres Gained and 2 Goal Assists
Note – The Dockers got the win over the Giants and new recruit Will Brodie was the best player on the ground, but lesser-known players have not polled as well as the more prominent names in past counts.
David Mundy and Andrew Brayshaw had a significant impact in the match, and defender Griffin Logue was solid down back all match.
Essendon vs Adelaide
Essendon 15.13 103 – Adelaide 15.9 99
(Essendon by 4 Points)
Vote Chances
Ben Keays – 27 Disposals (11 Contested), 5 Clearances, 5 Inside 50s, 9 Ground Ball Gets, 12 Tackles, 39 Pressure Acts, 523 Metres Gained and 1 Goal

19 Disposals (15 Effective), 10 Intercept Possessions, 5 Marks (4 Intercept Marks), 7 Inside 50s, 5 Score Involvements, 5 Ground Ball Gets, 4 Tackles, 514 Metres Gained and 1 Goal
2 Votes (Adelaide) Rory Laird (4)
38 Disposals (32 Effective and 15 Contested), 8 Marks, 8 Clearances, 4 Inside 50s, 4 Rebound 50s, 10 Score Involvements, 10 Ground Ball Gets and 2 Goal Assists
3 Votes (Essendon) Darcy Parish (5) ⭐⭐
38 Disposals (27 Effective and 17 Contested), 8 Clearances, 5 Inside 50s, 6 Score Involvements, 10 Ground Ball Gets, 30 Pressure Acts, 3 One Percenters and 1 Goal Assist
Note – The Bombers got the narrow win, and Darcy Parish was their best player for most of the contest.
Adelaide’s Rory Laird also had a big match, but the maximum votes tend to go to the winning side, making Parish a genuine chance.
Hawthorn vs St Kilda
Hawthorn 10.13 73 – St Kilda 22.10 142
(St Kilda by 69 Points)

35 Disposals (29 Effective and 10 Contested), 8 Intercept Possessions, 6 Marks, 8 Score Involvements, 10 Ground Ball Gets, 3 One Percenters, 401 Metres Gained and 2 Goal Assists
3 Votes (St Kilda) Jack Steele (4) ⭐⭐
33 Disposals (25 Effective and 15 Contested), 6 Intercept Possessions, 10 Marks (3 Intercept Marks and 2 Marks Inside 50), 5 Clearances, 8 Score Involvements, 10 Ground Ball Gets, 1 Goal Assist and 1 Goal
Note – The Saints led from start to finish and made easy work of the Hawks at the MCG.
Their star midfielder Jack Steele racked up a lot of the football and will go in favourite for highest vote honours.
Four Saints booted 4 goals in this clash, and the minor votes could go several ways, but Steele will be the favourite for the three.

(Gold Coast by 30 Points)

35 Disposals (15 Contested), 6 Intercept Possessions, 10 Clearances, 8 Inside 50s, 12 Ground Ball Gets, 4 One Percenters, 682 Metres Gained and 1 Goal
Note – The Suns upset the Blues and led from start to finish. Midfielder Noah Anderson had a significant impact in the middle of the ground and is every chance to get the maximum votes.
The votes could go several ways in this match, but Anderson was the noticeable player on the ground throughout the day.
