The Herald Sun’s footy experts predict the 2019 premier, Brownlow medallist, September heroes
Some of the AFL’s biggest stars will be out to stamp their authority during finals, including several Norm Smith medallists. Who will be Mr September? EXPERT PREDICTIONS
Richmond will win its second premiership in three years and Marcus Bontempelli will become the Bulldogs’ latest Brownlow medallist — if the Herald Sun experts get it right.
Most of them, anyway. The Tigers and the Bont were the top two picks for premier and the Brownlow when we surveyed our footy writers and expert columnists, but the field for both is wide open going into one of the most open finals series in recent memory.

Who will claim the flag, the Norm Smith Medal, dominate the next month or spring the biggest surprise?
Scroll down to see all our experts’ September tips. It’s also a good time to prise open the time capsule from before Round 1 to see what we got right and wrong.
