Kirk for mine.
Can we have a list of the previous winners. IIFC Goodesy has won it the previous 2 seasons?
The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.
So it was our fault for not having a TLM back in 2001! He won the club B&F that year, so there is a decent chance he'd have taken out the TLM - had there been one.
Can I ask why it's the Troy Luff medal?
When the medal was inaugurated, Luffy had just retired from the Swans, and being the cult hero that he was, it only seemed natural. Add to that his support for and participation on RWO over the years, it is only fitting the medal be named after him.
I'm on the Chandwagon!!!
If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.
MADNow this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

Rnd 17 v Richmond
Hall and Kennelly are back from a week rest. The Tigers are strugglling to win a game even though they have been improving. The week off seemed to work, Hall kicked 6, and Tadhg was providing plenty of run off the HB line.
Davis helped with 4 goals and Schneider 3. After a sluggish start the Swans powered away after half time to win by 11 goals, but still not a very impressive hit out against such a lowly opponent.

Rnd 18 v Melbourne
The demons were missing a few big names. Actually a lot of big names. As they all are at this time of the year, this game was a must win, especially given the lack of experience for the Dees. Another slow starting to the game, but thankfully it wasn't us this time. The Dees struggled to find the goals, and the Swans stormed away to a 5 goal lead at the first break. The Dees managed to score, but the Swans kept their average to 5 goal per quarter. Melbourne struggled to man up and the hard running first half, changed to a lets just get through this game unscathed. The swans did enough for the result to never be in doubt. Goal scoring was shared across many players. Buchanan had one of his best games for the year (happens with little opposition), and made the Play of the day, with a hard run through the middle of the ground, tried hard to stuff it up, but finsihed with the ball insight of goal and kicked truly.
