His direct opponent went off injured in the first quarter. Absolutely spudded it.

Totally correct, but you're forgetting there are a lot of bitter campaigners whose team didn't win the flag this year

Good news fellas, the Leon is coming home.
Frampton with the one kick and one handball from 82% TOG.
Ultimate passenger and fully in the spirit of the Leon. We have a winner

Played a shut down role. Hipwood was the worst by a mile. His opponent Murphy didn’t know which planet he was on
That’s what they said about Leon back in 2010, but here we are with a medal named after him

How can you lot give it to Frampton!?!?!?
This is as bad as the Dangerfield one from a few years ago.

Well done Billy, the one medal you definitely earned - and doesn't he just love it.

Can we rename it The Frampton?
Has a nice ring to it.

A well deserved winner. I had Frampton and Hipwood pegged (not literally) as the two most likely winners and I understand why the latter's vocal backers feel they were robbed.
But Billy was just too special to deny.

I realize you’d need a calculator but it’s really not that time consuming to do it without
Keeps the brain nimble don’t you know old boy

Just take a bite
Already some gentle melting, a very worthy winner.

I think with deciding a Leon Davis Medal a player's potential versus their output on the day has to be taken into consideration.
As a hypothetical case, just say in 2018 Richmond as expected defeated Collingwood in the Preliminary Final but saved their shocker for the Grand Final the next week against the West Coast Eagles. And the Eagles were not sympathetic, repeating a hiding they gave to the Tigers in Perth in May and winning a very one-sided Grand Final by 10 goals.
Any of the star Tigers in this Richmond team who underperformed on the day such as Dustin Martin, Trent Cotchin, Jack Riewoldt, Dion Prestia, Bachar Houli, Shane Edwards or Alex Rance would surely be better candidates for the Leon Davis Medal than an overwhelmed Tigers rookie who had limited game time and just one handpass. Or an obscure Eagles player who was on and off the field all day, not really needed and had only a handful of few and far between possessions.
