AFL - AWARDS
AFL INTERCLUB MEDALS/TROPHIES
INTRODUCTION
For nearly a century the premiership title was the sole focus of VFL-AFL clubs. Fast forward to today and the football landscape is littered with awards; some honour past greats, some are for a good cause, and others, frankly, seem to be awards for the sake of having an award (the Fila Cup, anyone?).
During the 2015 season there are over fifty trophies, shields, medals, cups (and even a plate) on offer. So when did this flood of silverware begin? The earliest interclub award unearthed to date is the Lake Premiership Pennant awarded from 1938 to 1964 to the winner of matches between South Melbourne and St Kilda. Next was the Sir Keith Murdoch Cup (1949) contested by Geelong and North Melbourne. |
A handful of awards came and went in the 1980s; their lack of longevity due to them being introduced for marketing rather than historical purposes. South Melbourne's move to Sydney in 1982 saw the introduction of the Chateau Cup, provided by a club sponsor and awarded at the first SCG game of each season. This was followed by the Darlington Investment Services Centenary Cup (1983), the Eastcoast Challenge Cup (1985) and the Berry Street Cup (1986). The latter being the only one of these trophies to survive the decade.
Today's overcrowded trophy cabinets can be traced back to the 1990s. Collingwood and Carlton led-off in 1993 with the introduction of the Peter MacCallum Cup, followed in 1994 by the Alan Schwab Memorial Shield which was announced shortly after the long-serving AFL administrator died while on secondment to Sydney. The tipping point was 1995 with the launch of the Albert Thurgood Trophy (Essendon-Fremantle), Dockland Trophy (Fremantle-Port Adelaide), E.J. Whitten Cup (Essendon-Footscray), and the Nauru Challenge Cup (Fitzroy-West Coast).
Far from fading away, the 2000s has seen this trend become the norm, with new awards announced on a near-annual basis. Read on for details of the various AFL interclub trophies and medals presented over the years, including a club-by-club list.

EVERY AWARD (WINNERS & BACKGROUND)
ALAN SCHWAB MEMORIAL SHIELD
By the early 1990s the Brisbane Bears and Sydney Swans were in a constant state of financial turmoil and perilously close to becoming insolvent.
Schwab was a long-serving Richmond and VFL administrator, and in later years a member of the AFL Commission. The commission first sent him north to oversee the administration of the Brisbane club to ensure their survival.
Following the success of that project he was transferred to Sydney with the same goal. He died in June 1993 while still on secondment to the Swans.
Following Schwab's passing the clubs played each other in August 1993 but nothing was awarded. The memorial shield was introduced for their opening clash of the 1994 season.
ALBERT THURGOOD CHALLENGE TROPHY
He then moved to Western Australia to play for the original Fremantle football club, leading the WAFA's goalkicking in 1895-96-97. Thurgood later returned to Melbourne, leading the VFL goalkicking in 1900 and playing a vital role in Essendon's 1901 VFL Grand Final victory.
The trophy featured a quarter-scale replica of a cannon from Captain Cook's ship, the Endeavour. It was first presented at a 1995 pre-season Fremantle-Essendon practice match played at Fremantle Oval.
A larger cannon was fired before every Fremantle home game against Essendon...
After the award was unveiled Age columnist Gary Walsh noted: "Fremantle has stumbled onto the secret of AFL success. Strike trophies for matches against other teams and make them so ugly that the opposition will not win them." [The Age 26-2-1995 / 17-6-1995]
The trophy disappeared with a whimper rather than a bang and ceased being awarded sometime around the early 2000s.
ALEC CAMPBELL CUP
The cup was inaugurated in 2001 to coincide with the launch of the Tasmanian Devils Football Club. It was awarded to the winning team in all VFA-VFL Anzac Day matches involving the Devils.
The Tasmanian club folded after the 2008 season so the trophy has been presented since 2009 to the winning team in any Anzac Day match at Launceston involving Hawthorn Football Club.
