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

Bulldogs midfielder Bailey Smith was very busy during the match and racked up 41 disposals, whilst there were several other contributors for the Bulldogs side.

Note – The Tigers won against the Hawks, and both Dustin Martin and Shai Bolton impressed with 5 goals between them.

Note – The Power made easy work of the Kangaroos, and 2021 Brownlow Medal Winner Ollie Wines was the star in a clear best-on-ground showing.
Wines racked up a lot of the football and booted a couple of goals the be the favourite for highest vote honours.
There are several chances for the minor votes, but Sam Powell-Pepper and Connor Rozee were both impressive for the Power and busy around the action for most of the day.
St Kilda vs Geelong
St Kilda 13.12 90 – Geelong 11.14 80
(St Kilda by 10 Points)

Note – The Saints pulled off a big win against the Cats, and midfielder Brad Crouch will lead the charge for the maximum votes as he won a lot of contested footy throughout the win.
Paddy Ryder may have only had the 10 disposals, but some of his ruck work in the concluding stages of the match went a long way to helping the Saints pull off the upset win.
Crouch gets the nod, but the impact of Ryder was noticeable when the match was up for grabs, and he hit the scoreboard with three goals.
Sydney vs Essendon
Sydney 14.21 105 – Essendon 6.11 47
(Sydney by 58 Points)

2 Votes (Sydney) Chad Warner (3)
32 Disposals (24 Effective and 10 Contested), 7 Marks, 5 Clearances, 6 Inside 50s, 12 Score Involvements, 9 Ground Ball Gets, 507 Metres Gained and 1 Goal Assist

Note – The Swans were too good for the Bombers, and Callum Mills won a heap of the football and applied a stack of pressure on the opposition with 13 tackles.
Mills should be the favourite for the maximum votes, but the Swans had several contributors in the win, with Lance Franklin and Tom Papley marking the ball in dangerous positions and helping set up a lot of scoring chances.
Chad Warner and Errol Gulden also had a noticeable impact throughout the match.
Adelaide vs Brisbane
Adelaide 9.12 66 – Brisbane 16.6 102
(Brisbane 36 Points)

Zac Bailey – 19 Disposals (13 Effective), 4 Marks, 4 Inside 50s, 5 Score Involvements, 5 Ground Ball Gets, 17 Pressure Acts, 485 Metres Gained and 3 Goals
Projected Votes
1 Vote (Brisbane) Jarryd Lyons (6)
24 Disposals (17 Effective and 16 Contested), 8 Clearances, 4 Inside 50s, 9 Ground Ball Gets, 3 One Percenters, 7 Tackles, 34 Pressure Acts, 1 Goal Assist and 1 Goal
2 Votes (Brisbane) Dayne Zorko (5)
26 Disposals (17 Effective and 11 Contested), 5 Marks, 5 Clearances, 5 Inside 50s, 6 Rebound 50s, 5 Score Involvements, 6 Ground Ball Gets, 4 Tackles (2 Tackles Inside 50), 518 Metres Gained, 1 Goal Assist and 2 Goals
3 Votes (Brisbane) Lachie Neale (18) ⭐⭐
36 Disposals (24 Effective and 19 Contested), 7 Intercept Possessions, 7 Marks, 7 Clearances, 4 Inside 50s, 5 Score Involvements, 11 Ground Ball Gets, 23 Pressure Acts, 391 Metres Gained and 1 Goal
Note – The Crows hung around against the Lions, but Brisbane pulled away in the third term, and their star players stood up.
Lachie Neale will lead the charge for the votes and got better as the match went on, whilst Dayne Zorko and Jarryd Lyons showed their class when the game was up for grabs.
Lachie Neale is a proven vote-getter and gets the nod. However, there are several contenders for votes, with Oscar McInerney dominating the ruck, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Charlie Cameron polls with 4 goals from just the 8 disposals.
Gold Coast vs Fremantle
Gold Coast 10.9 69 – Fremantle 4.9 33
(Gold Coast by 36 Points)
Vote Chances
Jarrod Witts – 10 Disposals, 4 Ground Ball Gets, 10 Hit-outs to advantage, 7 One Percenters, 7 Spoils, 9 Tackles, 15 Pressure Acts and 1 Goal
Izak Rankine – 18 Disposals (15 Contested), 11 Score Involvements, 9 Ground Ball Gets, 4 Tackles, 17 Pressure Acts and 2 Goal Assists

18 Disposals (15 Contested), 9 Clearances, 11 Ground Ball Gets, 8 Tackles and 29 Pressure Acts
2 Votes (Gold Coast) Mabior Chol
10 Disposals, 4 Marks (4 Contested and 2 Marks Inside 50 ), 7 Score Involvements, 3 One Percenters, 4 Tackles and 4 Goals

Note – The Dockers led the inside 50s by a comfortable margin but struggled in the wet conditions, and the Suns took full advantage.
Touk Miller was best-on-ground and made the most of Jarrod Witts dominating the ruck at stoppages.
Mabior Chol was dangerous up forward and snagged 4 goals, but Touk Miller will be very hard to beat for the maximum votes.
GWS vs Carlton
GWS 11.9 75 – Carlton 15.15 105
(Carlton by 30 Points)
Vote Chances
Josh Kelly – 36 Disposals (31 Effective and 15 Contested), 6 Intercept Possessions, 6 Clearances, 4 Inside 50s, 8 Score Involvements, 7 Ground Ball Gets, 7 Tackles, 29 Pressure Acts, 401 Metres Gained and 1 Goal

31 Disposals (27 Effective and 15 Contested), 7 Intercept Possessions, 5 Marks, 4 Clearances, 8 Score Involvements, 15 Ground Ball Gets, 19 Pressure Acts and 2 Goals
Note – The Blues pulled away from the Giants in the final term, and Sam Walsh will lead the charge for the votes with a stack of footy and he used it at a high-efficiency rate.
Sam Docherty and Matthew Kennedy both had a significant impact in the final term, and GWS midfielder Josh Kelly is a chance to poll and was the Giant’s best.
West Coast vs Melbourne
West Coast 5.8 38 – Melbourne 16.16 112
(Melbourne by 74 Points)

Kysaiah Pickett – 20 Disposals (15 Effective), 4 Marks, 6 Inside 50s, 10 Score Involvements, 6 Ground Ball Gets, 357 Metres Gained and 3 Goals

Note – The Demons made easy work of the Eagles, and the skills of Christian Petracca were on show. Petracca was dangerous all day and racked up a massive 14 score involvements in the win.
Demons midfielder Jack Viney was busy all day and provided a lot of pressure on the Eagle’s mids, whilst the Demons forwards had plenty of chances to hit the scoreboard in the win.
The Eagles lost the match, but Connor West played the best game of his career and was the Eagle’s best player.
