The favourites for AFL’s highest honour feature no easy picks as we draw closer to a winner for the Brownlow medal.
If you ask Sportsbet, Patrick Cripps and Nick Daicos are your best bet with only $0.15c separating the pair.
Though Lachie Neale and Marcus Bontempelli sit slightly closer to the outside, their form throughout 2024 has given them a clear chance to take home the gold.

The fifth contender that’s emerged as a dark horse is Fremantle’s Caleb Serong, who is paying $35.
The experts will tell you that a two-way tie isn’t far out of the realm of possibility either.
The Sydney Swans look unlikely to have a horse in the race, with Isaac Heeney ineligible courtesy of suspension in the 2024 season.
Even the Fox Footy panel appear split on the top dog, with Patrick Cripps taking a narrow lead in what’s set to be a tight race.
