Mark Williams Wins Doc Wheildon Medal
Hawthorn’s Mark Williams, the 180cm full-foward and Australia’s answer to “Shooter” McGavin (not to be confused with David McGann), has been awarded the Doc Wheildon Medal for being the leading goal-kicker from the bottom four clubs.
Last year, Richmond’s Matthew Richardson won the inaugural “Doc” with 60 goals.
Williams, who scored 63 goals in only 19 games, was unavailable to comment on his receiving the AFL’s least known but arguably most important honour.
The medal is named for Darren “Doc” Wheildon, who played 70 games and kicked 160 goals in his 1989-1994 career at the Fitzroy Football Club.
