- Carlton’s Patrick Cripps is tipped to win the 2022 Brownlow Medal.
After a strong start to the season, of which Cripps is expected to poll eight times in the first 10 rounds, the Blues skipper makes his move late in the year after relinquishing the lead.
Fremantle’s Andrew Brayshaw and Melbourne’s Clayton Oliver sometimes share the lead, while surprise packet Rory Laird is also predicted to poll well.
Jeremy Cameron leads the charge for big men in the game after a stellar season, which resulted in another All-Australian jacket.

AFLPA MVP Top Five
- Andrew Brayshaw
- Clayton Oliver
- Shai Bolton
- Lachie Neale
- Jeremy Cameron
Andrew Brayshaw was awarded the AFLPA MVP, becoming the youngest player to ever win at 22 years of age.
Brayshaw averaged 29 touches, six tackles, four clearances, and four marks a game in 2022, joining some of the elite midfielders in the competition.
Ahead of Clayton Oliver and Shai Bolton, the young Docker proved to be a catalyst for the dramatic rise of Fremantle, with the club finishing fifth and returning to finals for the first time since 2015.
