Individual awards

The Vic Tuting Medal was originally introduced in the early 1990s to the best and fairest player for Tasmania for the Tasmanian State League competition (equivalent of the current NPL competition). It is now presented to the best and fairest player of the Southern Championship at the end of the season due to a pause of the then State League.[1]
