Summary

The 2026 Brownlow Medal ceremony highlighted key moments in Australian football, with Kysaiah Pickett nominated for three awards but failing to secure any. Patrick Dangerfield joined Gary Ablett jnr at the top of the all-time voting list after receiving two votes for a five-goal performance. Zak Butters received one vote despite controversy surrounding a previous suspension.

The All-Australian selection faced scrutiny as Harry Sheezel was overlooked despite a fifth-place finish.
