The 2016 Brownlow Medal is just around the corner as the big night takes place during Grand Final week on Monday, September 26th.
Not only can you find my Brownlow vote predictions and leaderboard here, I will also be posting extensive Brownlow betting tips in the lead up to the count.
In this article I will be taking a look at the leaders for the Brownlow most team votes and trying to find some value where we can and maybe create a couple of handy multis once the Australian sports betting sites allow us to parlay our most team picks.
Below you will find the top vote getters and most vote chances for each team in alphabetical order. The total votes I have them on and their range have been taken from my week-by-week Brownlow votes that I have given for every single game of the 2016 AFL season.
I will be posting more Brownlow betting tips for other markets such as head-to-heads, but the information below can certainly be used to deduce your own picks for these bets. Take note that the way I gave votes means each player has a 'range' they fall in, with the below showing the exact the number they finished on.
