The Club > History > Peter Crimmins Medal

 

Hawthorn Football Club’s Best and Fairest Award was first introduced in 1925, the year Hawthorn joined the VFL. The winner was decided by player votes until 1932 when the Hawthorn Committee took over this role. The coaching staff now awards the votes.

The Fred Phillips Honour Board was donated to the Club by F Craig Esq. in memory of Fred Phillips who was appointed coach in 1933 who unfortunately passed away before the start of the season. The Honour Board was to officially record the Hawthorn Best and Fairest winners, which were listed from 1933 on.

Club records indicate that the award was originally called the Best All Rounder, changing to Best and Fairest in 1926. It reverted back to its original name in 1928 and from 1929 it was known as the Best and Fairest award. 

In 1985 it was renamed the Club Champion and then changed to the Peter Crimmins Medal in 2004, as a tribute to Peter Crimmins who is considered to be the spirit of Hawthorn. The Match Committee now awards the votes.
