About the Simpson Medal
The Simpson Medal, a prize for Australian rules football, has been donated by Dr. Fred Simpson and family since 1945. It is awarded to the best player in a WAFL Grand Final and the best player in an interstate game involving Western Australia. In recent years in interstate games, the medal has been awarded only to WA's best player as opposed to the overall best player.
