Brownlow Predictor, Team Votes 2021
The 2021 Brownlow Medal Count could be one of the closest counts in recent times, with several genuine chances to take home the award.
Unlike last season where Brisbane Lions midfielder Lachie Neale was a clear favourite, the 2021 Brownlow Medal Count is shaping up for a thrilling finish, which could come down to the final round.
Ollie Wines is the favourite to take home the award with many chances to poll throughout the count, but Marcus Bontempelli played some superb football in AFL Season 2021 and is also a massive threat.
Demons stars Clayton Oliver and Christian Petracca are a chance to poll in many matches, and the lack of competition from teammates at the Saints makes Jack Steele a genuine contender.
Others to watch for include Hawthorn’s Tom Mitchell, Carlton’s Sam Walsh and Essendon’s Darcy Parish, who all had impressive seasons.
Jack Macrae racks up a lot of the football, and Brisbane’s Jarryd Lyons is a chance to vote in many matches throughout the count.

Adelaide Crows
Projected Votes – 51
Projected Leader – Rory Laird 18
The Crows made some improvements in the 2021 AFL Season and had a few regular contributors that stood up in many matches.
Rory Laird had a consistent season in the middle of the ground and looks to lead the way quite comfortably. Ben Keays and Paul Seedsman both had good years and were among the best players in many matches. Veteran Rory Sloane is another Crow that may feature in the votes.
Expect Taylor Walker to get off to a fast start in the first few rounds of the count with bags of goals and some impressive performances.
Rory Laird is the heavy favourite to win the Adelaide count and did poll well in the 2018 Season with 19 Votes and a Top Ten finish.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Rory Laird | 18 | 24 |
| Ben Keays | 8 | 13 |
| Taylor Walker | 7 | 10 |
| Rory Sloane | 7 | 9 |
| Paul Seedsman | 4 | 9 |
| Reilly O’Brien | 3 | 4 |
| Lachlan Sholl | 3 | 4 |
| Tom Doedee | 1 | 2 |
| Brodie Smith | 0 | 2 |
| Riley Thilthorpe | 0 | 1 |
| Harry Schoenberg | 0 | 1 |
Brisbane Lions
Projected Votes – 85
Projected Leader – Jarryd Lyons 23
The Lions were again one of the better sides in the competition in Season 2021 and managed a top-four finish.
2020 Brownlow Medal Winner Lachie Neale was injured for a fair chunk of the season, and a few of the regular Lions midfielders stepped up in his absence.
Jarryd Lyons may be at his third AFL Club, but he had a very consistent season in the middle of the ground and was good at extracting the footy from congestion and applying pressure on the opposition. Should poll in up to ten matches and has a slim chance in many more throughout the season.
Captain Dayne Zorko stepped up in the absence of Lachie Neale, but remember he didn’t poll a single vote last season, which was surprising. However, Zorko did have a decent year and was an X-Factor in some of the Lions wins.
The interesting one at the Lions will be Hugh McCluggage. He has not polled well in the count yet and is more of an outside type player with a role on the wing. He will be a vote chance in many matches though, and made a solid contribution throughout the season.
Jarryd Lyons has many chances to vote in the count and should lead the way at the Lions.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Jarryd Lyons | 23 | 31 |
| Dayne Zorko | 18 | 20 |
| Hugh McCluggage | 14 | 19 |
| Lachie Neale | 6 | 9 |
| Oscar McInerney | 5 | 5 |
| Harris Andrews | 4 | 6 |
| Zac Bailey | 4 | 7 |
| Daniel Rich | 4 | 8 |

| Grant Birchall | 0 | 1 |
| Eric Hipwood | 0 | 1 |
| Marcus Adams | 0 | 1 |
Carlton Blues
Projected Votes – 50
Projected Leader – Sam Walsh 25
The Blues showed some glimpses of good footy in season 2021, but it was few and far between.
It will be a one-man show at the Blues throughout the count as Sam Walsh had a breakout year in Season 2021 and will rack up votes.
Walsh has incredible running power and is becoming one of the premier midfielders in the comp in just his third AFL Season.
The competition for second will be interesting, with Patrick Cripps and Ed Curnow playing some decent games and Coleman Medalist Harry McKay kicking bags of goals throughout the season.
Walsh to rack up a stack of best on grounds and win the Carlton count by a significant margin.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Sam Walsh | 25 | 29 |
| Ed Curnow | 7 | 8 |
| Patrick Cripps | 6 | 7 |
| Harry McKay | 4 | 6 |
| Jack Silvagni | 3 | 3 |
| Jacob Weitering | 2 | 5 |

| Lachie Fogarty | 0 | 1 |
| David Cunningham | 0 | 1 |
| Jack Martin | 0 | 1 |
| Nic Newman | 0 | 1 |
Collingwood Magpies
Projected Votes – 47
Projected Leader – Taylor Adams 11
The Pies had a disappointing season, and it will be tough to pick the likely leader.
A switch to the midfield for Jordan De Goey paid off, and he had an impact in many matches throughout the season.
Taylor Adams is the type of player that can win the hardball and has finished with double-figure votes in past counts.
Other Pies that may rack up some votes include Jack Crisp, Brodie Grundy, and veteran Scott Pendlebury has a stack of vote chances.
This Brownlow Predictor has Adams leading, but De Goey, Crisp and Pendlebury have a similar amount of chances to poll, so it should be a close one at the Pies.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Taylor Adams | 11 | 14 |
| Jordan De Goey | 9 | 12 |
| Jack Crisp | 8 | 12 |
| Brodie Grundy | 6 | 9 |
| Scott Pendlebury | 5 | 11 |
| Darcy Moore | 3 | 4 |
| Jamie Elliott | 3 | 5 |
| Brayden Maynard | 1 | 4 |
| Steele Sidebottom | 1 | 2 |
| Brody Mihocek | 0 | 1 |
| Will Hoskin-Elliott | 0 | 1 |
| Chris Mayne | 0 | 1 |
| Darcy Cameron | 0 | 1 |
Essendon Bombers
Projected Votes – 77
Projected Leader – Darcy Parish 26
The Bombers had a decent season and managed to scrape into the finals.
An injury to Dylan Shiel gave Bombers midfielder Darcy Parish the opportunity to excel in the middle of the ground, and he managed to win three matchday medals throughout the season.
The efficient ball use of Zach Merrett and smart decision making was again on show for the Bombers, and he is a chance to poll in many matches this year.
Jake Stringer also had his most consistent season, and big Peter Wright stepped up in the forward line a few times.
Looking to be a battle between two, but Parish is a chance for best on ground honours in up to seven matches, which may be enough to win the Bombers count.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Darcy Parish | 26 | 31 |
| Zach Merrett | 22 | 29 |
| Jake Stringer | 10 | 13 |
| Peter Wright | 5 | 7 |
| Devon Smith | 3 | 3 |
| Andrew McGrath | 2 | 4 |
| Jordan Ridley | 2 | 7 |

| Kyle Langford | 0 | 2 |
| Jayden Laverde | 0 | 1 |
| Cale Hooker | 0 | 1 |
| Archie Perkins | 0 | 1 |
Fremantle Dockers
Projected Votes – 59
Projected Leader – David Mundy 17
The Dockers made some improvements in the 2021 AFL Season, but there have been no real major improvements apart from the emergence of some of the younger players.
Veteran David Mundy was one of their standouts throughout the season and makes smart decisions whilst using the footy at high efficiency.
Ruckman Sean Darcy showed that he can become one of the Premier ruckman in the competition and had a significant influence in many matches this season.
Nat Fyfe will again feature in the votes, as will Andrew Brayshaw, but a veteran Docker should lead the way at Fremantle.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| David Mundy | 17 | 20 |
| Nat Fyfe | 10 | 13 |
| Sean Darcy | 10 | 12 |
| Andrew Brayshaw | 9 | 15 |
| Caleb Serong | 4 | 6 |
| Luke Ryan | 3 | 4 |
| Rory Lobb | 2 | 3 |
| Adam Cerra | 2 | 6 |
| Lachie Schultz | 1 | 1 |
| James Aish | 1 | 1 |
| Matt Taberner | 0 | 2 |
| Sam Switkowski | 0 | 1 |
Geelong Cats
Projected Votes – 84
Projected Leader – Cam Guthrie 20
The Cats have one of the most talented lists in the AFL and again finished towards the top of the table.
Patrick Dangerfield missed a fair chunk of the season, as did Mitch Duncan, so there are plenty of votes to share around.
The midfield smarts and efficient ball use of Cam Guthrie were on show throughout the year, and he looks almost certain to lead the way at the Cats.
Joel Selwood did his usual thing in the middle of the ground, and Patrick Dangerfield is a chance for best on ground honours in a couple of matches.
Defender Tom Stewart was solid down back, and both Tom Hawkins and Jeremy Cameron will stake a claim for votes in matches.
Guthrie looks to be the one Cat to rack up votes consistently and polled ok in the count last season.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Cam Guthrie | 20 | 23 |
| Patrick Dangerfield | 10 | 11 |
| Joel Selwood | 9 | 13 |
| Tom Stewart | 8 | 10 |

Gold Coast Suns
Projected Votes – 44
Projected Leader – Touk Miller 22
The Suns were ok in patches this season, but in general, it was another disappointing year.
Touk Miller has shown plenty in recent seasons, but had a breakout year and took his game to another level. He was their best player and could poll in many matches, but he can’t win the medal due to ineligibility.
Tough to pick second spot at the Suns, but Hugh Greenwood polled more votes than projected last year and had a few solid games this season. Noah Anderson played a couple of good matches, and Brandon Ellis has the potential to vote in a few games.
Miller has never polled more than 5 votes in previous seasons, but that will change this year and should lead the way at the Suns by a significant margin.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Touk Miller | 22 | 28 |
| Hugh Greenwood | 6 | 8 |
| Noah Anderson | 4 | 5 |
| Brandon Ellis | 3 | 4 |
| Izak Rankine | 2 | 2 |

GWS Giants
Projected Votes – 65
Projected Leader – Josh Kelly 17
The Giants took a while to get going in their 2021 Campaign but played some excellent footy towards the back end of the year and snapped up a finals spot.
Some of their midfielders were the standouts, with Josh Kelly and Tim Taranto impacting many matches and racking up the football.
Star forward Toby Greene racked up more votes than projected last season and is expected to poll votes again.
The Giants also found a couple of defenders with Sam Taylor and Isaac Cumming having consistent seasons, but it is always challenging for those down back to poll on medal night.
Kelly should poll the most at the Giants, but Tim Taranto may be a slim threat, and Toby Greene was in the top players on the ground in a similar amount of matches.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Josh Kelly | 17 | 22 |
| Tim Taranto | 13 | 16 |
| Toby Greene | 8 | 15 |
| Jacob Hopper | 7 | 11 |

Hawthorn Hawks
Projected Votes – 57
Projected Leader – Tom Mitchell 27
The Hawks took a while to get going in Season 2021 but played good football in the final month, and Alastair Clarkson will hand over the reins to Sam Mitchell in Season 2022.
A former Brownlow Medalist and the leader for disposals this year, Tom Mitchell is expected to poll votes in many matches, but the Hawks may not have been competitive in enough games for him to be a threat to take home another medal.
Mitchell will clearly lead the way at the Hawks as there will be little competition for votes, but Jaeger O’Meara can win the hardball, and the creativity of Chad Wingard will also land some votes late in the count.
Mitchell to consistently feature in the votes and lead the way at the Hawks.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Tom Mitchell | 27 | 30 |
| Jaeger O’Meara | 11 | 15 |
| Chad Wingard | 7 | 10 |
| Dylan Moore | 4 | 4 |

Melbourne Demons
Projected Votes – 93
Projected Leader – Clayton Oliver 31
A fantastic year from the Demons, and it was their elite defence and star-studded midfield that helped them secure the top spot on the AFL Ladder.
Clayton Oliver was one of the stars and should poll votes in a lot of matches. Christian Petracca is also projected to poll well in the count and was one of the better players on the ground in many games this season.
Ruckman Max Gawn had another stellar year, whilst Tom McDonald had a few big games up forward, and their gun defenders were consistent down back throughout the year.
Clayton Oliver looks to lead the way for the Demons as he is projected to poll quite a few times throughout the count. Christian Petracca polled well in the count last season and has many chances to vote this year.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Clayton Oliver | 31 | 33 |
| Christian Petracca | 29 | 34 |
| Max Gawn | 12 | 18 |
| Tom McDonald | 7 | 10 |

| Jake Lever | 0 | 4 |
| Kysaiah Pickett | 0 | 2 |
North Melbourne Kangaroos
Projected Votes – 35
Projected Leader – Ben Cunnington 12
The Kangaroos started the season off poorly, but regrouped towards the middle of the year and became competitive in many matches.
Midfielder Ben Cunnington led the way and has no trouble winning the hardball. He is expected to poll votes and is the favourite to lead the way at the Kangaroos.
Jy Simpkin was a bit of a surprise in the count last season and polled some unexpected votes. He had a stellar season in the middle of the ground and will again feature in the votes.
Two other Kangaroos that deserve mention are defenders Jack Ziebell and Aaron Hall. The majority of their disposals were uncontested, with the Roos choosing to chip the ball around a lot on the back-half, but both are good users of the football and racked up plenty of it. Unlikely that they will poll too many votes in the count though.
Ben Cunnington looks to lead the way, but Jy Simpkin will be a definite challenger at the Kangaroos.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Ben Cunnington | 12 | 16 |
| Jy Simpkin | 9 | 13 |
| Tarryn Thomas | 3 | 5 |
| Jaidyn Stephenson | 3 | 5 |
| Nick Larkey | 3 | 3 |
| Aaron Hall | 2 | 7 |
| Luke Davies-Uniacke | 1 | 5 |
| Cam Zurhaar | 1 | 3 |
| Jack Ziebell | 1 | 4 |
| Todd Goldstein | 0 | 3 |
| Jed Anderson | 0 | 1 |
Port Adelaide Power
Projected Votes – 89
Projected Leader – Ollie Wines 28
The Power led the league for most votes last season and will be up there again in Season 2021.
Their two star midfielders, Ollie Wines and Travis Boak are expected to lead the way.
Wines is the outright favourite to win the medal after a consistent season in the middle of the ground. He has a chance to poll votes in up to twenty matches which justifies him being favourite.
Travis Boak finished second in the count last season and looks set to poll in many matches once again this year.
A midfielder that stepped up this season and is a smart user of the football is Karl Amon. He does rack up a lot of uncontested ball, but has a unique skill set and could give double-figure votes a nudge in the count.
There were not too many other Power players to consider, but it was a consistent overall team effort for most of the season.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Ollie Wines | 28 | 34 |
| Travis Boak | 22 | 30 |
| Karl Amon | 9 | 14 |

Richmond Tigers
Projected Votes – 51
Projected Leader – Dustin Martin 13
Like many, the Tigers had an injury-interrupted season, but they never really got going and won’t have any players contending for the medal.
Despite an injury in the back part of the season, former Brownlow Medal Winner Dustin Martin should lead the way in the count for the Tigers. He had a couple of clear Best on Ground performances and was an X-Factor in some of their wins.
The battle for second could be an interesting one with Jack Riewoldt kicking bags of goals a few times and Shai Bolton being one of the more consistent Tigers on the field when he was out there.
Dustin Martin should once again lead the way at the Tigers.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Dustin Martin | 13 | 14 |
| Jack Riewoldt | 9 | 9 |
| Jack Graham | 5 | 8 |

St Kilda Saints
Projected Votes – 69
Projected Leader – Jack Steele 31
It will be a one-man show at the Saints, and Jack Steele backed up a stellar 2020, with a better Season in 2021 and an impressive second half of the year.
Jack Steele is projected to poll in many matches, and the less competition from teammates means he is a genuine chance to take home the medal.
The battle for second at the Saints will be interesting, with Luke Dunstan a chance for best on ground honours a couple of times. Brad Crouch didn’t have too many best on ground performances, but could sneak in votes with up to ten chances to poll throughout the season.
Jack Steele to win comfortably at the Saints and expect him to make a charge in the count in the second half of the season.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |

| Jack Steele | 31 | 34 |

Sydney Swans
Projected Votes – 85
Projected Leader – Luke Parker 21
The Swans were one of the surprises of Season 2021 and managed to snag a spot in the finals.
Callum Mills has stepped up his game this season and is expected to poll votes, especially in the first half of the season.
Luke Parker is expected to lead the way on the back of an impressive finish to the year. He knows how to win the football and has polled well in the count before.
Other Swans that may get votes include Isaac Heeney, Lance Franklin, Josh Kennedy and Tom Hickey could be an interesting one as he was one of the better Swans players on the ground many times.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Luke Parker | 21 | 25 |
| Callum Mills | 14 | 19 |

West Coast Eagles
Projected Votes – 58
Projected Leader – Dom Sheed 11
The Eagles were expected to be a threat this season, but never really got going and failed to make the finals.
It will be tough to pick a leader here, with Dom Sheed, Andrew Gaff and Tim Kelly all a chance to poll in the count.
Going off last season, Nic Naitanui doesn’t win enough football despite his presence and tapping ability having a clear impact in matches. He is a chance to vote in a stack of matches, but looking unlikely.
Dom Sheed was an X-Factor in a few matches, and Andrew Gaff has distinctive running power, but the Eagles count could go a few ways.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Dom Sheed | 11 | 13 |

Western Bulldogs
Projected Votes – 88
Projected Leader – Marcus Bontempelli 29
The Bulldogs were one of the better sides for the majority of the season, but just missed a final four spot in the last round.
They do have a heavy reliance on their elite midfield, and it was Marcus Bontempelli that stepped up and is expected to poll maximum votes in many matches this season.
Jack Macrae’s ability to rack up the disposals was noticeable throughout the season, and he makes smart decisions whilst using the footy at high efficiency.
Tom Liberatore was another Dog that stepped up this season and has no trouble winning the football from congestion and applying pressure on the opposition.
Bailey Smith polled quite well last season and may get votes this year, and Josh Dunkley and Adam Treloar may feature before sustaining injuries.
Marcus Bontempelli is expected to lead the way, but Jack Macrae is also a vote chance in many matches.
| Name | Projected Votes | Possible Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Marcus Bontempelli | 29 | 32 |
| Jack Macrae | 25 | 31 |
