So you want a medal between two teams that's only synonymous with WC great call genius, no doubt you would of been all over the Chris Mainwaring wing as well, take your yellow and blue glasses off and let's not bring up culture eh.

There's only one lot of fans crying about it tbf.

Tell that to the Freo players who have won it over the past 17 years, it's the only silverware they have courtesy of Freo.

Football is built on tradition and respect.

He is synonymous “now” because he works at west coast. Apart from being our first captain he played like 40 games. Hardly medal worthy. At the time it was created he was working at freo and they decided due to what he put in to WA footy and the fact he had been at both clubs let’s name it after him.

Don’t use the rubbish line of he only spent 2 years at freo coz that’s what he spent at WCE too.

He is one of the most prestigious WA players to play the game and represented WA football and that’s why the medal is named after him.

Rosich met with WC officials regarding a name change before the new stadium was even built WC didn't want a bar of it again Rosco has nothing in common or anything to do with the club, what part of that don't you understand your bias is getting in the way again.

West coast understand respect and tradition. What sort of 3rd rate numpty club would change the name of a 17 year tradition medal. It's disrespectful to a great WA footballer.

No culture, no history, no success and no class.

Lol inaugural captain of WC ,I believe he is still in a working capacity at the club, was at Freo for one year, has spoken badly about the Freo footy club , yeah I can see why Freo would want a name change , only fans up in arms are WC fans don't worry though he'll be in the change rooms to award his medal after the game.

Haha anchorman, I find it most interesting u have not weighed into the medal. Could it be that you understand respect and tradition?
It's clear you have a great respect for the history of WA football -would love to hear your personal opinion on the matter.
