The81stminute.com’s Arthur Beetson Medal is now in its tenth season. After the passing of the iconic, legendary, mortally immortal Tom Raudonikis – we have made a slight change.

And we have a feeling that the mighty Arthur Beetson wouldn’t mind at all.

For now, until the end of time, our player of the year award will now be known as The Beetson Raudonikis Medal – paying respect to both Beetson and his little mate, Tommy.
