West Coast star Chris Judd capped off a brilliant individual season tonight when he claimed the 2004 Brownlow Medal. The 21-year-old was a runaway winner, leading throughout to finish with 30 votes, seven ahead of Adelaide's Mark Ricciuto. Adam McPhee was the leading Bomber, finishing with 12 votes for the season. It was just reward for the All Australian Bomber.

McPhee finished with 12 votes which included three best-on-ground performances against Carlton (Round 4), Sydney (Round 6) and Richmond (Round 15). Matthew Lloyd was the Bombers second best performer finishing with 10 votes.

James Hird finished with eight votes. Many thought he finished three votes shy of where he should have after he didn’t poll against West Coast in Round 3. Most thought he was clearly the best player on the ground. The match however did come just three days after he labelled Scott McLarne’s umpiring the previous week as ""disgraceful"".
