Players such as David Neitz, Joel Corey & Mark McVeigh have previously won the Ron Barassi Medal, so it has been won by great players, and doesn't really matter if Bryce Gibbs was thought to have been robbed, the fact is Myers won the medal. This is an article from one of the test matches :-
RTÉ Sport: Second draw in U-17 international rules This is a part from it - "It was a super advertisement for International Rules football with outstanding tackling, dodging and courage, and neither side willing to give an inch. Defender David Myers and midfielders Bryce Gibbs and Cyril Rioli entertained the crowd with their skill."
Looking forwad to seeing him in action next year !!
