Toast Congratulations Harry McKay - 2021 Coleman Medallist 🏅

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I don't care about the Coleman for Harry, but I do care about the AA spot it would give him. It would be cruel to have it stolen by a couple of big bags while he is injured. Maybe he gets in as one of two tall forwards anyway.

I really hope he gets both. I think if both him and Charlie are firing, it'll be tough for one or the other to get the Coleman in the future. Harry has capitalised on being dominant but also being the only viable target all year.

I think he can still make AA in future years (being able to pass to Charlie will improve goal assists and allow him to take turns playing the link-up person), but Coleman is a bit more special as there can only be one!

Edit: what a dumbass (me), obviously multiple allowed if there's a draw

Think he has the highest avg goals per game for a player who's kicked lots of goals this year so you would think that carries as much if not more weight than total goals

 

[1981]

It will take a special effort or teammates assisting for someone to leap frog Harry

I would like Harry to get an AA spot and I think he deserves it.

However if he does somehow miss out... I can see him coming back next year hungrier and more desperate. Which wouldn't hurt Harry....

One of Hawkins or Riewoldt need to kick 6 goals in both of their next 2 games. Geelong play Saints and Melbourne, Richmond have Hawthorn and GWS.

Although it might seem far fetched, we do know that teams typically target their Coleman hopefuls in their last couple games.

Or kick 10 and 2

 

[1981]

Well we needn't worry about JR now.
He'll need to kick 11 next week.
Let's hope Mohawk has a quiet arvo.

 

[slowhand clape]

Tomahawk will get weeks for that tackle

The Geelong player? Is the guy he tackled dead?

 

[Coona Blues]

Tomahawk will should get weeks for that tackle

Hawkins is going to get rubbed out by the MRP, so safe to say Harry has the Medal in the bag x

Surely not if Danger says otherwise. Or maybe Whateley can adjudicate. After all, we all know of his impartiality.

He had it anyway. No chance Hawkins kicks 9 goals against Melbourne even if he plays...

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Certainly happy to call it now.

A fantastic effort from Harry to win the Coleman despite missing three games (and the best part of a 4th with concussion). Should have had 70+.

It is a little scary that he's obviously such a gun and only injury has even made it close at all, yet he arguably has so much improvement left.

I'm a huge fan of McKay and have been in here a bit (as I bet him coleman preseason)

The one downfall for him is going to be his body. After only ever having 1 preseason so far (this year) and his body still broke down all year with the shoulder twice and a toe... if he had a non cursed body he would be a generational forward. Hopefully he can somehow get it right and see the best of him.

Give him a year or two to fill out! Josh Kennedy took a good 6-7 years to get his body right and get some consistency...and then wooshka. For him it'll be about understanding his body more and being smarter on the field. He'll have an 80 goal season at some point.

Didn't get 'rubbed out' but can't see Hawkins kicking 9.

Joke he got off Aph, especially given his priors.

Totally agree EJ.

Good bloke discount & protected species.

 

[jj1978]

Wonder how much "can Hawkins get the coleman" media blurbs we'll hear about this week! Got to get people to tune into games in these crowd effected times... you know AFL and TV revenue and $$$$$$$$$

 

[agro]

Didn’t you hear Hawkins not only got off, he also got an apology from the AFL and also an additional 9 goals added to his Coleman Medal tally for all the trouble caused.

 

[iAsbestos]

Against May no chance.

 

[Lace_Out]

Reiwoldt is probably the biggest threat, they will look for him.

Though, Hawks have been in fine form and they will want to go out with a bang for Clarko... also tigers have lost cotchin who is a good deliverer.

Should be safe as houses really.

Hawkins is not kicking 9 goals and Riewoldt is not kicking 11 goals. The Coleman is Harry’s.

Harry will win the Coleman playing 3 fewer games than both players, a game where he was concussed early on and multiple games where his shoulder was troubling him and he played through it.
