The FothergillâRoundâMitchell Medal is a
Victorian Football League (VFL) award that is presented to the most promising young talent in the VFL competition.
The medal has been awarded annually since 1989.[1] It was originally named the FothergillâRound Medal after
Des Fothergill and
Barry Round, who at the time were the only two players to have won both the
J. J. Liston Trophy (or one of its predecessors) and the
Brownlow Medal; it was renamed the FothergillâRoundâMitchell Medal in 2018 to also recognise
Sam Mitchell, the third player to achieve the feat.[2]
