Although the AFL is undoubtedly a team sport and getting results as a team is the most important thing, the Brownlow Medal is an individual honour which any player would love to receive. For this reason, Brownlow Medal betting is a popular part of betting on the AFL in general, and many people enjoy placing a bet on who they think will take this prestigious accolade either at the start of the season, or as the season progresses. Officially, the award is given to the ‘fairest and best’ player of the season although there are certainly other criteria to consider when placing a Brownlow bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are considering betting on the Brownlow Medal, you should certainly take a look at which players have won the award in the past. Typically, midfielders tend to win the Medal as they are often very influential within an AFL team and receive plenty of praise. More midfielders have won the Brownlow Medal than any other position, and in fact, as of 2012, midfielders have won the award every year since 2007. Therefore, when it comes to Brownlow Medal betting, it makes sense to choose a midfield player who plays an influential role in one of the top teams. For the 2012 season, many people will be backing the 2010 winner Chris Judd once more as he continues to play a very important role for Carlton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
