Rawle joined the Lions as coach in 1950 after 111 games with Essendon where he won two VFL premierships.

Rawle is the club's longest serving playing-coach having held the role for seven years and won a premiership in 1952.

After his playing days were over, Rawle served on the club's committee and was vice president in 1969 and 1970.

A member of Rawle's premiership side, Les Borrack, was inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Borrack was the only Redan player to make the BFNL's centenary team in 1993 and went on to play 105 games for Geelong, where he became a life member.

Modern greats Ash Barker, Brendan Peace, and Jarrod Edwards were also inducted into the Hall of Fame alongside Kate McMahon who coached the club to a first senior netball premiership in 2011.

The club had a set criteria when selecting the best 25 players in its history. Players must have played three seasons or 50 games for the seniors side. Junior players who progressed onto seniors and then the VFL/AFL were given special consideration.

Henderson Medallist Michael Phyland and David Jenkins are two of the premier Lions who were deemed ineligible due to only playing two seasons.
