Season 2010 - Official AFL Website of the Brisbane Lions Football Club

Six Fitzroy players won the Brownlow Medal - Haydn Bunton, Wilfred 'Chicken' Smallhorn, Denis 'Dinny' Ryan, Allan 'Baron' Ruthven, Kevin Murray and Bernie Quinlan. In this exclusive group there were two rovers, a wingman, a half back flanker, a centre half back and a centre half forward. Together they won the medal eight times, dominating through the 1930s the award that was instituted in 1924 for the game's top performer each year. And each was a favorite son of Fitzroy.
