Brownlow Medal

The Chas Brownlow Trophy was first presented in 1924 to the "fairest and best" player in the, then, VFL competition. It was created and named in honor of former Geelong player and adminstrator, and VFL president, who had died earlier that year after a long illness.

Six Melbourne players have won the award a total of seven times.
