Let's scrap Rosco's name from the medal completely. The medal should be much bigger than an ex players name. The name on the medal should be legendary. Something that all players would want.
I think it should be called the YAGAN.
Here's why....
"The Noongar people have always had strong leaders who have guided them as a people: legendary heroes of the past such as Yagan, Midgegooroo, Bessie Flowers and Mokare, and more contemporary figures like Jack Davis and Ned Mippy.
For Perth elder Richard Wilkes, one of their greatest icons is Yagan. Considered a mighty warrior by his people, Yagan was eventually killed by a settler and his head sent to England for study and display.
In 1994 it was discovered in an unmarked grave in an English cemetery and Wilkes led a delegation to retrieve his ancestor’s remains and bring them back to country. In 2010 Yagan’s remains were laid to rest at a sacred site in the Swan Valley where his body is thought to be. The area is now known as the Yagan Memorial Park.
With Yagan’s body once again whole, Wilkes says his ancestor will finally be able to walk in the Dreamtime." (
