The 2024 AFL season is just around the corner, and all eyes will be on players who will dominate the competition this year.
Arguably, not much will change from last year, with most keen to see Nick Daicos and what he can produce this year after an exceptional start to his AFL career.
However, AFL fans will also be closely looking at players around him challenging him for what is notably the highest individual accolade in the league: the Brownlow Medal.
Below we have made a list of six players who are predicted to be leading contenders in the race for Brownlow honours this season.
5. Marcus Bontempelli
The Top Dog was unlucky to not win his first Brownlow last season, falling agonisingly short by two votes and finishing as runner-up for a second time in his already decorated career.
The Western Bulldogs captain had another stand-out 2023 season, averaging 27.7 disposals, 7.5 tackles, 5.7 inside-50s, and 7.6 clearances per game.
Bomtempelli will again go into the 2024 season as a Brownlow favourite, but he will have to edge out the league's many young guns and, perhaps, hope to have the gods on his side this year in the final votes.
