The 2009 Brownlow Medal was the 82nd 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] Gary Ablett Jr of the Geelong Football Club won the medal by polling 30 votes during the 2009 AFL season.[2]
Ablett won the award with thirty votes, eight votes ahead of 2004 medal winner, Chris Judd. It was Ablett's first Brownlow despite winning many other awards in the previous few years and being the Brownlow pre-count favourite for the previous three years.[3] It was the second time in three years that a player from Geelong won the Brownlow Medal.[4]
