The 2025 Brownlow Medallist will be crowned on Monday night, with a host of Hawks set to feature.

AFL.com.au analysed the club's best chances, predicted team votes and more leading into the count. 

-----

Best chance: Jai Newcombe
Newcombe established himself as a big Brownlow poller when he racked up 24 votes last year, ensuring he will again be a sneaky chance this time around. Newcombe had a stellar first half of the year, but will vie with goalkickers Jack Gunston and Dylan Moore for votes. With the Hawks notching 15 wins for the campaign, expect to see Newcombe's name pop up more than a few times.

One-vote wonder: Lloyd Meek (R17 v St Kilda)
The big ruck is a fan favourite at Hawthorn and could find himself in line for his first-ever Brownlow votes at a few different stages this year. Expect him to be a contender against St Kilda, where he finished with 20 disposals, 59 hitouts, five clearances, six tackles and 10 score involvements.
