From 2001 to 2018 the Glendinning Medal was awarded to the best player in Derbies between West Coast and Fremantle. The award was named after Ross Glendinning, who was the inaugural captain of West Coast and a chairman of selectors at Fremantle, and was awarded based on the votes of Glendinning and a number of media representatives.
In 2018 the award was renamed the Glendinning-Allan Medal, adding the name of inaugural Fremantle skipper Ben Allan, after the Dockers complained that Glendinning did not adequately represent both clubs. Retrospective medals were also awarded for the first 12 Derbies, judged by a panel of media representatives including Karl Langdon.
Former Fremantle midfielder Paul Hasleby holds the current record for the most Glendinning-Allan Medals with four. Chris Judd, Shannon Hurn and Josh Kennedy each have three.
