The 1924 Brownlow Medal was the inaugural year the award was presented to the player adjudged the fairest and best player during the Victorian Football League (VFL) home and away season.^[2] Edward 'Carji' Greeves of the Geelong Football Club won the medal by polling seven votes during the 1924 VFL season.

Voting system

The voting system used in the 1924 Brownlow Medal was as follows:^[2]

The field umpire awarded one vote to whom he adjudged the best player on the field.
The player who finished with the most votes would be awarded the 1924 Brownlow Medal.
In the event of a tie, the umpiring panel would meet and agree upon a winner among the tied players.^[3]

Votes

Leading vote-getters

The following list shows the leading vote-getters for the 1924 Brownlow Medal.^[4] Edward 'Carji' Greeves was the winner, with George Shorten and Bert Chadwick runners-up.

	Player	Votes
1st	Edward Greeves, Jr. (Geelong)	7
=2nd	George Shorten (Essendon)	6
=2nd	Bert Chadwick (Melbourne)	6
4th	Doug Hayes (Richmond)	4

	Jim Spain (Richmond)
	Colin Watson (St Kilda)
	Wels Eicke (St Kilda)
	Jack O'Connell (South Melbourne)
