Where is the Brownlow Medal ceremony?

Like previous years, the Brownlow Medal night will be held at the Crown Palladium, Melbourne.

With Sydney and Brisbane locked in on their preparations for Saturday's grand final, their players won't be at the venue.

AFL Chief Executive Andrew Dillon will likely make his debut reading the votes on the night.

How does Brownlow Medal voting work?

At the end of each game in the home-and-away season, the umpires award three votes to the best player, two to the second-best player, and one to the third-best player.

The votes are tallied and revealed on the night of the ceremony, with the player with the most votes receiving the Brownlow Medal (subject to eligibility).

The fairest component of the medal is achieved by making any player ineligible who is suspended by the AFL Tribunal during the home-and-away season.

An ineligible player can't win the Brownlow Medal, regardless of the number of votes he has received.

This came into play in 1996, 1997 and 2012, when Corey McKernan, Chris Grant and Jobe Watson were all ineligible to win the Brownlow.
