Don't you dare put this one on me Russell you scumbag! It's a well known fact that your posting has a tendency to get entire threads divvied. All that hard work by the OP, just to get divvied because of you, well done mate, what a champ...Well yes Robert but now you've ruined it and will probably be in the divvy before too long
Nah, I disagree. Leon Davis medal is not like the Norm, It can only go to someone on the losing side otherwise it means shit. Sort of like the Norm should be."awarded each year to the premiership player that has the least notable career outside of that one day in September"
Did **** all for the Roos but had a pretty decent career after that.
After the raging success of this thread I'll do the Leon Davis Medal next, Mooney will be a lay down misere for 1999

Premierships are funny things. Great players can go their entire careers without getting their hands on one, particularly if they play for St Kilda or Footscray. On the other hand, some players will be in the right place at the right time, jag a medal and then fade away into obscurity, destined to become the answer to a pub trivia question.
Aaron Keating is the poster child for such players. The Crows ruckman played in the 1997 grand final, just his third game at AFL level and just two weeks after playing for Norwood's ressies. He failed to gather a possession but still received a premiership medal as Adelaide won their first flag. Keating played three games the following season for a grand total of six before being delisted. His career stats read: 6 games, 26 possessions, 1 goal, 1 premiership.
A little-known fact is that the AFL commissioned a special medal in his honour, awarded each year to the premiership player that has the least notable career outside of that one day in September. On the eve of the 2014 grand final, this thread celebrates those players.
(To the inevitable responses of "You flog, they've achieved much more than you, what have you ever won you flog?" - congratulations, you've completely missed the point. Of course they've achieved more than me. They've also achieved more than Rob Harvey, Nathan Buckley, Scott West, Matthew Pavlich and Robbie Flower - the ultimate team success that every footy player aspires to. That's the point)
Mario some would unkindly say downhill skied for 2 cups. From recollection he got sfa possessions in one of his gfs. The patron saint of premiership trolling.Just did, he had quite the career!
Though his record of a premiership every 22 games is smashed by Keating's premiership every 6 games
Handing you a moral victory
Brad Johnson is weeping at this tbread
Not to mention Winmar and Loewe during grand final week.
