We have a new outright Brownlow medal leader.
After a dominant display in Round 19 of the 2025 AFL season, one player has pulled ahead at the top of our leaderboard, with just five rounds remaining in the home-and-away season.
The race to take out the ultimate individual honour in the game is well and truly on, and Round 19 gave us another wave of standout performances across the board.
Essendon vs GWS
Tom Green delivered one of the games of the season having 30 disposals, 17 contested possessions and a staggering 16 clearances, tying his own club record.
The Giants’ bull was everywhere. Jake Stringer reminded Essendon fans of what he can do at his best, finishing with 18 disposals, three goals and a game-high eight score involvements.

Western Bulldogs vs Brisbane
Hugh McCluggage was elite through the midfield, collecting 27 disposals (18 contested), seven clearances and eight score involvements in a complete display.
Will Ashcroft sealed the win with a goal on the siren for his third for the day, while also racking up 26 touches in his most damaging performance since returning.

Hawthorn vs Port Adelaide
Dylan Moore made the most of midfield time, racking up a game-high 32 disposals and adding two goals in a classy outing in wet conditions.
Jarman Impey lit up the fourth quarter, slotting three straight goals while the game was on the line and adding 26 disposals to his name, expect both to feature in the votes.

Sydney vs North Melbourne
Isaac Heeney is back to his absolute best.
A staggering 34 disposals and five goals in a dominant performance saw him lead all players in both stats.
This was one of the most complete individual displays of the season and the three votes were locked.

Carlton vs Melbourne
Kysaiah Pickett continues to show why he’s the Million Dollar Man.
Despite the loss, he was Melbourne’s most dangerous player with 23 disposals, five goals and a game-high 11 score involvements.
His explosiveness and impact were unmatched, and three votes felt inevitable.
| 3. Kysaiah Pickett | 2. Patrick Cripps | 1. Ashton Moir |
West Coast vs Richmond
The Tigers midfield duo of Taranto and Hopper had their best combined game in yellow and black, totalling 66 disposals and five goals between them.
Taranto shades it for the three votes with his 33 touches, three goals and relentless workrate.

Geelong vs St Kilda
Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera thrived with more midfield responsibility, attending the majority of centre bounces for the first time this year.
He responded with 36 disposals and two goals in a breakout performance, even in a losing side.
| 3. Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera | 2. Max Holmes | 1. Shaun Mannagh |
Collingwood vs Fremantle
It’s hard to deny it was the Prancing Pony, Patrick Voss who won this game for the Dockers, booting six goals and torching Darcy Moore in a one-point win.
Nick Daicos was everywhere for the Pies with a career-high 43 disposals and a goal, but just falls short of top votes in a nailbiter.
| 3. Patrick Voss | 2. Nick Daicos | 1. Caleb Serong |
Adelaide vs Gold Coast
Alex Neal-Bullen had the game of his life in the Crows’ big win, collecting 31 disposals and kicking three goals to lead all players in both categories.
An easy pick for best on ground in this one.
