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 6 of the 2022 AFL Season.
Good luck picking a winner for any category this season, and always remember to Gamble Responsibly.

29 Disposals (16 Contested), 4 Clearances, 7 Inside 50s, 6 Score Involvements, 13 Ground Ball Gets, 9 Tackles, 33 Pressure Acts, 501 Metres Gained and 1 Goal Assist

23 Disposals (16 Effective), 5 Intercept Possessions, 10 Marks (3 Intercept Marks), 5 Inside 50s, 5 Rebound 50s, 5 Ground Ball Gets, 3 One Percenters and 580 Metres Gained
3 Votes (St Kilda) Jack Higgins (8) ⭐⭐
18 Disposals (12 Effective), 9 Marks (4 Marks Inside 50), 6 Inside 50s, 10 Score Involvements, 6 Ground Ball Gets, 18 Pressure Acts, 427 Metres Gained, 1 Goal Assist and 4 Goals
Note – The Saints were behind by a narrow margin at the half and kept the Giants goalless in the third term to set up the win.
Jack Higgins had a massive 3-goal third quarter and helped the Saints pull away in a solid individual performance.
The Saints lost Rowan Marshall in the ruck, and it was Josh Battle that stood up. Battle didn’t win many taps but took a lot of marks around the ground and had a noticeable impact in the second half.
Jack Steele was again influential in the middle of the ground and is a decent vote chance.
Western Bulldogs vs Adelaide Crows
Western Bulldogs 9.8 62 – Adelaide 8.15 63
(Adelaide by 1 Point)
Vote Chances
Josh Dunkley – 28 Disposals (22 Effective and 16 Contested), 5 Intercept Possessions, 7 Marks, 6 Clearances, 8 Score Involvements, 12 Ground Ball Gets, 10 Tackles (2 Tackles Inside 50), 22 Pressure Acts and 1 Goal
Rory Laird – 30 Disposals (24 Effective and 16 Contested), 5 Intercept Possessions, 8 Clearances, 7 Score Involvements, 9 Ground Ball Gets, 24 Pressure Acts and 11 Tackles (2 Tackles Inside 50)
Billy Frampton – 26 Disposals (23 Effective), 10 Intercept Possessions, 9 Marks (4 Intercept Marks and 2 Contested), 7 Rebound 50s, 5 One Percenters, 5 Spoils and 502 Metres Gained
Projected Votes
1 Vote (W.Bulldogs) Tom Liberatore (1)
33 Disposals (21 Effective and 19 Contested), 5 Intercept Possessions, 9 Clearances, 7 Inside 50s, 5 Score Involvements, 15 Ground Ball Gets, 10 Tackles, 34 Pressure Acts and 522 Metres Gained
2 Votes (Adelaide) Taylor Walker (5)
19 Disposals (10 Contested), 7 Marks (3 Marks Inside 50), 9 Score Involvements, 6 Ground Ball Gets, 3 One Percenters and 3 Goals
3 Votes (Adelaide) Ben Keays (7) ⭐
33 Disposals (21 Effective and 16 Contested), 8 Clearances, 5 Inside 50s, 9 Score Involvements, 10 Ground Ball Gets, 3 One Percenters, 4 Tackles (2 Tackles Inside 50), 29 Pressure Acts and 624 Metres Gained
Note – The Crows pinched a close one, and this match will be tough to split with several contributors in a low-scoring contest.
Ben Keays was influential in the middle of the ground for Adelaide, and if he had been more accurate in front of goals, his chances for maximum votes would increase as he kicked 4 behinds.
Taylor Walker booted a couple of important goals in the match’s closing stages, which may stand out, but several players are a genuine vote chance in this clash.
Port Adelaide vs West Coast
Port Adelaide 18.9 117 – West Coast 4.9 33
(Port Adelaide by 84 Points)
Vote Chances
Jeremy Finlayson – 19 Disposals (13 Effective), 6 Marks (4 Marks Inside 50), 11 Score Involvements, 5 Ground Ball Gets, 3 Tackles (3 Tackles Inside 50), 2 Goal Assists and 5 Goals
Ollie Wines – 33 Disposals (13 Contested), 6 Marks, 6 Clearances, 10 Inside 50s, 6 Score Involvements, 9 Ground Ball Gets, 668 Metres Gained and 1 Goal
Travis Boak – 34 Disposals (25 Effective and 13 Contested), 9 Clearances, 6 Inside 50s, 8 Score Involvements, 8 Ground Ball Gets, 6 Tackles, 19 Pressure Acts and 2 Goal Assists
Projected Votes
1 Vote (Port Adelaide) Dan Houston (4)
33 Disposals (22 Effective and 14 Contested), 11 Intercept Possessions, 6 Marks (3 Intercept Marks and 2 Contested), 5 Inside 50s, 5 Rebound 50s, 9 Ground Ball Gets, 4 Tackles, 18 Pressure Acts, 457 Metres Gained and 1 Goal
2 Votes (Port Adelaide) Todd Marshall (2)
14 Disposals (12 Effective), 11 Marks (5 Marks Inside 50 and 2 Contested), 7 Score Involvements, 7 Tackles (5 Tackles Inside 50), 343 Metres Gained and 5 Goals
3 Votes (Port Adelaide) Connor Rozee (3) ⭐⭐
31 Disposals (26 Effective and 15 Contested), 7 Marks, 8 Clearances, 5 Inside 50s, 7 Score Involvements, 9 Ground Ball Gets, 5 Tackles, 17 Pressure Acts and 2 Goal Assists
Note – The Power made easy work of the Eagles, and Connor Rozee stood out with a lot of the football and used it at a high-efficiency rate.
The Power did have several solid contributors in this match, with forward Todd Marshall dangerous for most of the contest, but the minor votes could go several ways.
Fremantle vs Carlton
Fremantle 14.13 97 – Carlton 9.8 62
(Fremantle by 35 Points)
Vote Chances
Brennan Cox – 17 Disposals (17 Effective), 4 Intercept Possessions, 12 Marks (4 Contested and 4 Intercept Marks), 5 Score Involvements, 5 One Percenters and 4 Spoils
Sam Switkowski – 19 Disposals (13 Effective and 11 Contested), 4 Intercept Possessions, 4 Inside 50s, 6 Score Involvements, 10 Ground Ball Gets, 28 Pressure Acts, 1 Goal Assist and 2 Goals
Rory Lobb – 14 Disposals, 5 Marks (4 Marks Inside 50 and 3 Contested), 9 Score Involvements, 9 Hit-outs to advantage, 6 One Percenters, 5 Spoils, 2 Goal Assists and 3 Goals
Projected Votes
1 Vote (Fremantle) Lachie Schultz (4)
16 Disposals (13 Effective), 11 Marks (3 Marks Inside 50), 9 Score Involvements, 5 Tackles, 17 Pressure Acts, 387 Metres Gained, 1 Goal Assist and 3 Goals
2 Votes (Fremantle) Andrew Brayshaw (12)
27 Disposals (22 Effective and 11 Contested), 5 Intercept Possessions, 5 Marks, 7 Clearances, 4 Inside 50s, 9 Score Involvements, 5 Ground Ball Gets, 8 Tackles, 33 Pressure Acts and 1 Goal Assist
3 Votes (Carlton) Patrick Cripps (12) ⭐⭐
32 Disposals (26 Effective and 19 Contested), 4 Marks (2 Marks Inside 50), 8 Clearances, 7 Score Involvements, 15 Ground Ball Gets, 5 Tackles, 25 Pressure Acts and 3 Goals
Note – The Dockers might have won the match, but Patrick Cripps was the best and most consistent player on the ground. Cripps racked up a lot of the football, and anytime a midfielder has 30+ disposals and boots 3+ goals, they are a genuine chance for highest vote honours.
Andrew Brayshaw is a challenger for the votes and made a significant contribution in the win, whilst Lachie Schultz was lively all match up forward.
North Melbourne vs Geelong
North Melbourne 9.7 61 – Geelong 17.19 121
(Geelong by 60 Points)
Vote Chances
Cam Guthrie – 28 Disposals (20 Effective), 5 Marks, 7 Inside 50s, 8 Score Involvements, 5 Tackles and 1 Goal

24 Disposals (16 Effective and 11 Contested), 9 Clearances, 7 Score Involvements, 5 Ground Ball Gets, 8 Tackles, 28 Pressure Acts, 1 Goal Assist and 1 Goal
2 Votes (Geelong) Zach Tuohy (2)
32 Disposals (26 Effective), 8 Intercept Possessions, 9 Marks, 7 Rebound 50s, 7 Score Involvements and 492 Metres Gained
3 Votes (Geelong) Jeremy Cameron (6) ⭐⭐⭐
16 Disposals (11 Effective), 9 Marks (7 Marks Inside 50), 13 Score Involvements, 428 Metres Gained, 1 Goal Assist and 7 Goals
Note – The Cats were never tested against the Kangaroos, and Jeremy Cameron will be the red hot favourite for maximum votes in this clash with 7 goals. Cameron tallied a massive 7 marks inside the forward 50 and provided many headaches for the Roos defenders.
The ball use of Zach Tuohy stood out in this match, and he hit targets regularly to help set up scoring chances for the winning side.
Gold Coast vs Brisbane
Gold Coast 11.14 80 – Brisbane 21.6 132
(Brisbane by 52 Points)
Vote Chances
Hugh McCluggage – 22 Disposals (17 Effective and 11 Contested), 6 Clearances, 6 Score Involvements, 6 Ground Ball Gets, 9 Tackles (2 Tackles Inside 50), 26 Pressure Acts and 3 Goal Assists

2 Votes (Brisbane) Jarryd Lyons (5)
30 Disposals (13 Contested), 13 Clearances, 13 Inside 50s, 5 Score Involvements, 8 Ground Ball Gets, 10 Tackles, 29 Pressure Acts, 873 Metres Gained and 1 Goal
3 Votes (Brisbane) Zac Bailey (4) ⭐⭐
17 Disposals (14 Effective and 11 Contested), 8 Score Involvements, 11 Ground Ball Gets, 22 Pressure Acts and 6 Goals
Note – The Lions were too good for the Suns, and a 6-goal haul from Zac Bailey makes him the favourite for highest vote honours.
The minor votes could go several ways in this clash, with Jarryd Lyons, Lincoln McCarthy and a few others having solid matches.
Richmond vs Melbourne
Richmond 8.6 54 – Melbourne 9.22 76
(Melbourne by 22 Points)

3 Votes (Melbourne) Clayton Oliver (10) ⭐⭐⭐
41 Disposals (27 Effective and 22 Contested), 13 Clearances, 9 Inside 50S, 10 Score Involvements, 14 Ground Ball Gets, 22 Pressure Acts, 684 Metres Gained and 1 Goal Assist
Note – The Demons were behind at the major break, but a 23 disposal and 9 clearance second half from Clayton Oliver helped them lift and secure the win. Oliver was consistent throughout the match and the red-hot favourite for highest vote honours.
The battle for the minor votes will be led by Demons wingman Ed Langdon who racked up a lot of the football on the wing and used it well.
Tigers defender Nick Vlastuin also had a noticeable impact on the back half for the Tigers.
