1995 Brownlow Medal

Award

The 1995 Brownlow Medal was the 68th year the award was presented to the player adjudged the fairest and best player during the Australian Football League (AFL) home-and-away season.[1] Paul Kelly of the Sydney Swans won the medal by polling twenty-one votes during the 1995 AFL season.[2] For the first time, the State Government legalised betting on the Brownlow Medal, a move which concerned some due to the high potential for corruption. The pre-count favourites for the medal were Wayne Carey (3/1), Wayne Campbell (7/2), Peter Matera (10/1), James Hird and Craig Bradley (each 12/1).[3] Eventual winner Paul Kelly was considered a 25/1 outside chance.[4]
