Thats actually a dishonour to Adam..
What he went through twice and to still get up and play AFL football the bloke deserves the award to himself forever.
No one will ever deserve the that title with adams name, unless they have gone through similar circumstances.

Good idea!
It would add more meaning to the award and it would become something the players would really strive for and be proud to win.
A great way to honour Adam.
On ya Rama!

JC I really do enjoy your work on this site but i have to disagree with you on this point.
I think it is a great idea and i am sure that Rama would feel honoured to have the award named after him.
It would be a great way to have his legacy live on well after he is gone. All of us will remember him but kids down the track will see that player 'X' won the Adam Ramanaskuas award and will be keen to know more about him. It may even inspire people in the future who are faced with similiar circumstances.

Do you consider the EJ Whitten Cup a dishonour to EJ Whitten?
I think an award so named would be about recognising someone striving to be courageous, not someone who has to have shown the same amount of courage as Adam. I mean, I know cancer is not goal kicking, but players who are awarded the Coleman for kicking 70 odd goals in a year is not exactly a disservice to John Coleman. It's just a recognition of an effort. And really the person who made the most effort, i.e. the player it is named after, is keeping the title forever.

Great idea.
If there's anyone on here close to the club they shoud suggest it.
i'm all for it - his name should never be forgotten at windy hill.

I know what you're saying but its different circumstances.
But yes it is a good idea.
I agree, although i don't think they'll do it this year since Rama will most likely win it.
Oh here's a thought, when he is accepting the medal they break it to him that from now on it will be named the rama medal.

It's an excellent idea and I wouldn't be surprised if it came to fruition.
