Information About

Best And Fairest





In the Australian Football League (formerly the VFL ), the ultimate honour for the Best and Fairest player is the Brownlow Medal for which votes are given by the Umpires directly after each match during the Home And Away Season . The votes are then read out and tabulated at the Brownlow Medal Count held in the week before the Grand Final . The player with the most votes without being suspended during the season is adjudged the winner.

Another "best and fairest" honour, the Leigh Matthews Trophy , is voted on by the AFL's players and awarded by their Trade Union , the AFL Players Association . Unlike the Brownlow, players who have served disciplinary suspensions during the season retain their eligibility for this award.
