Best Chance: Dion PrestiaPrestia was injured early in the year, but returned to become Richmond's most reliable midfielder. He will have some competition from Shai Bolton and Tom Lynch, who will steal their fair share of votes, but expect the onballer's clearance and contested work to see him surge clear of his teammates.
One-Vote Wonder: Marlion Pickett (v West Coast, round 16)He won a premiership on his AFL debut, but could he now earn his first Brownlow Medal votes? Pickett's move to a wing paid dividends this year and a performance against West Coast, where he won 25 disposals and kicked two goals, should see his season recognised.

RICHMONDShai Bolton’s midfield-forward split, coupled with the breathtaking moments of brilliance he displays, surely caught the umpires’ eyes throughout 2022. He’ll be one to watch for the Tigers throughout the night and Dion Prestia is right in the mix for most votes after his brilliant season, which is made even more remarkable by the fact he was injured in three of his 18 regular season games, giving him effectively 15 weeks to tally. It’s a testament to his importance to the side when fully fit. Tom Lynch arguably had a career-best season and some big hauls on the scoreboard surely see him rewarded.
Favourite: Dion Prestia ($201)
