How to follow online

Instead of just watching the broadcast, fire up your second screen and follow every vote for every player with our live Brownlow Tracker.

The live Brownlow leaderboard will update regularly, and you can 'pin' your favourite players to the top to see how they're going compared to the frontrunners. You can also filter the Brownlow Tracker by club to see how players from your team are faring.

A new and exciting feature of the Tracker this year is the integration of our Brownlow Predictor, so you can see which players are expected to poll in the latter stages of the count, and who's expected to fall away. Just toggle on 'Show Predicted' in the Tracker to activate this feature.

And in case you miss anything, the 'Round by Round' tab is a quick and easy way to look back on the votes for every game during the season.

AFL.com.au and the AFL Live Official App will also have a live blog of all the action from the red carpet right until the winner is announced.

Isaac Heeney, who is ineligible due to being suspended during the year, is expected to lead the count throughout the night, while Errol Gulden, Marcus Bontempelli, Zach Merrett and Caleb Serong are also expected to poll well.
