THE AWARDS
Jack Dyer Medal – 1st
The inaugural Richmond Best and Fairest was awarded to Bill Mahoney in 1911, but in 1964 the name of the award was changed in honour of Jack Dyer, the man acclaimed as the greatest Tiger of all.
Jack Dyer is the most decorated player in Richmond Best and Fairest history, winning six Club champion awards, including four in-a-row from 1937 to 1940.
Since 1964, there have been 11 multiple Jack Dyer Medallists, including Kevin Bartlett, who won five, Wayne Campbell, who won four, and Geoff Raines and Trent Cotchin, who have won three.
Other dual Jack Dyer Medallists include Royce Hart, Maurice Rioli, Dale Weightman, Tony Free, Matthew Knights, Joel Bowden, Brett Deledio, Dustin Martin and Jack Riewoldt.
Jack Titus Medal – 2nd
The Jack Titus Medal is named after the Tigers’ dual best and fairest, dual premiership player, coach and hall of fame member.
