Ken Farmer Medal
The Ken Farmer Medal is named in honour of the Australian rules football full-forward Ken Farmer, who played for North Adelaide Football Club for his entire 13-season career, being North Adelaide's leading goalkicker all 13 seasons he played and leading the league overall for 11 of those seasons, four more than any other player in the league's history. The medal is awarded to the South Australian Football League's (SANFL) top goalkicker at the end of the home-and-away matches each season and was instigated in 1981.
