During their 74-year history Swan Districts have produced some fine players and the first man to win the Swan Medal for the fairest and best player at the club, George Krepp, would rate in the highest bracket.

Krepp won the award three times from 1934 to 1936. He was also Swan's first Sandover Medalist when he tied with Subiaco's Lou Daily in 1935.

He went on to carve out 109 memorable games with Swans and represented the state on four occasions (1935 to 1938). 

Other players to take out the club fairest and best trophy on three occasions include star ruckman Keith Slater, rover Haydn Bunton, wingman Peter Manning and wingman Keith Narkle.

The club record for the most number of Swan Medal's is held jointly by Bill Walker and current player Travis Edmonds who both have been successful on five occasions.
