Neil Kerley Medal

The Neil Kerley Medal (formerly known as the Trabilsie Medal and later the Steve Hamra Medal) is an Australian rules football award given to the player(s) from the West Adelaide Football Club deemed Best & Fairest for the season. West Adelaide play in the South Australian National Football League.

In 2015, the WAFC board approved the change of the naming of the Best and Fairest Medallion as the Neil Kerley Medal to honour four time club B&F and two time premiership winner as a player and coach, Neil Kerley.[1][2]

The Neil Kerley Medal is not to be confused with the best-on-ground award between West Adelaide and the Adelaide reserves team, awarded since 2024.[3]
