Who will take home this year's Brownlow Medal?

GOLD Coast co-captain Touk Miller is the favourite to claim this year's Brownlow Medal, according to AFL.com.au's Brownlow Predictor, though we could be set for a mega six-horse race during Sunday night's count.

Miller is tipped to poll 30 votes on the Predictor, edging just two votes clear of Fremantle's Andrew Brayshaw and three ahead of Melbourne's Clayton Oliver.

But a host of other superstars are also going to be among the frontrunners.

BROWNLOW PREDICTOR Who will take home Charlie?

Brisbane's former winner Lachie Neale, Carlton captain Patrick Cripps and Melbourne's reigning Norm Smith Medal winner Christian Petracca are also likely to be in the hunt ahead of what looms as a thrilling count.

The Predictor suggests that Petracca and Oliver will make hot starts to the season, though Miller is tipped to poll in nine of his final 12 games to storm clear and add to his AFL Coaches Association Player of the Year award.

Ahead of the Brownlow Medal count on Sunday night, AFL.com.au looks at the Brownlow Predictor and gauges how the night could shape up for some of the League's leading contenders.
