I believe that John Halbert was runner up 3 times before winning the medal.

Ciccollela and Colville have been in the top three or four numerous times.

Could one of the reasons why Ebert and Robran won six medals when Sturt won six flags in the late 60s and early 70s was that they relatively had fewer players taking votes off them compared to Sturt who had vote getters such as Halbert Shearman, Bagshaw - late 60s and Nunan, Bagshaw, Davies and Graham early 70s when they won 6 flags in 11 seasons????
Hey great players and each deserved to be multi-medalists but did they have an advantage over Sturt players as given they had less competition within their clubs for votes???

When Crabb - who lost on a countback - was awarded the medal retrospectively that would make Deane the runner up.
