AFL State of Origin Football Part 2 - EJ Whitten & Foss Williams Medalists
In Part 1 of AFL State of Origin Football I brought you a bit of AFL State of Origin histroy. In Part 2 I will go though the the EJ Whitten and Foss Williams Medalists. There have been may great players and some would argue not so great players that have pulled on the Victorian and South Australian gurnsey’s. You could probably argue the same point when it comes to EJ Whitten and Foss Williams medalists.
David Calthorpe would have to be my pick of the players that has won an EJ Whitten Medal that I think How the hell did he win that!. He is not what you would call a great player in the history of our game, especially with those little stumpy legs, but he can tell his grand kids that he has won an EJ Whitten medal, a great honour.
