Brownlow Medal round 18 predictor: Adelaide gun makes jump up; Melbourne star keeps in touch image

The completion of round 18 saw some interesting results, with the race for finals still well and truly alive.

Richmond's loss to North Melbourne opens up the door as Cam Zurhaar kicked six goals to shock Tiger fans.

Marcus Bontempelli single-handedly carried his side to victory against St Kilda to keep their finals hopes alive.

Nick Daicos continues his ridiculously impressive form with a BOG performance against Adelaide.

Carlton failed to meet Geelong's standards on Saturday night as Sydney travelled west and beat home side Fremantle to open the hunt for a top four finish.

Port Adelaide and Gold Coast did themselves no favours by losing over the weekend, but still remain a chance to play in September.

Sporting News' AFL experts have combined to produce a Brownlow predictor to figure out who might walk away with Charlie at season's end.
