Brownlow Medal |
| The Charles Brownlow Trophy, better known as the
Brownlow Medal, is an annual
medal awarded to
the fairest and best player in the
Australian Football League during the regular season (ie. not including
finals matches) as decided upon by umpires. It is regarded as the most
prestigious award for individual players in the league. It was named after a
Geelong player and long-serving administrator who was active in the early days
of the
Victorian Football League,
Charles Brownlow. He died in 1924 the first year of the award.
In 2005 First Class Collectables released a series of covers
to commemorate the winners. |
