Definately true there dingo. The medal always goes to an onballer and this year all of the premier onballers are little fellas. johnstone, vick and the bayly bros for mine too. put them on each other shoulders and they mite just be six foot between them. they can all certainly play tho.
Looking back through the SFL history books, does anyone know the last player to win a mail medal that wasnt an onballer/winger? When was the last CHB/CHF/FF/FB to win if ever. I know the onballers are the backbone of any side but there must have been one in the last 20 odd years.
I guess its the same as the brownlow. you have to go back to 87 when plugger won one from full forward.
