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.

3. Errol Gulden

In his third season, Errol Gulden had a stand-out year and was a late contender in the 2023 Brownlow, flying home with votes to finish equal fourth in the final count.

The New South Welshman averaged 26.8 disposals and 19.3 kicks in 2023, and while he had a slower start to the season, his backend of the year was first-class.

If Gulden can start the 2024 season strong and finish the way he did last year, he will be a real threat as a contender for the Brownlow.
