The Chas Brownlow Trophy better known as the Brownlow Medal is an individual award given to the player judged best and fairest in the Australian Football League during the regular season. Determined by votes cast by the officiating umpires after each game, it is considered the highest honour for individual players in the AFL. The medal has been awarded every year since 1924, with the exception of an intermission from 1942 1945, due to World War II.
