Why is it we don't have the Gordon Coventry Medal?

No only joking.
He sure does pop up a bit in that list though. :thumbsu:
Go Old Pies.

I am sure Coleman would of been up in that list alot more should his knees held together...
I was actually looking at his record based on one of the other list threads... 530 odd goals in 5 years, 98 games... Should he have played to the customary say 15 years and held his averages he would had something like 300 games and 1600 goals... and that is if he maintained his averages, not bettered them!

freak.

I'm so sick of the league naming things after second bests and coodabeens instead of real Collingwood champions like Coventry and McHale. Apparently 1299 goals, endless bags, 4 tons and 6 times leading goalkicker (one more season at the top than Coleman actually managed to play) wasn't good enough, but being a coodabeen at Windy hill was.

If Lee Walker had lasted more than 20 minutes a game before his knees detonated he could've kicked 1500 goals or won 10 flags, why isn't there a Lee Walker medal?

ahh yes bias view points... good work... do some research next time...

Gordon Coventry
Goals: 1299
Games: 306
1920-1937 (17 Years)
Goals per year: 76.4
Goals per match: 4.25

John Coleman
Goals: 537
Games: 98
1949-1954 (5 Years)
Goals per year: 107.4
Goals per match: 5.48

Yeah I wonder why they named it the Coleman Medal... so undeserving John Coleman was to be bestowed with this honor hey? :rolleyes:
 
please note Ablett is the only one to do this whjle not playing full forward.Name the bloke who kicked 13 from a flank

Ablett had 14 from FF vs Ess and Rich IIRC but his 10 came from the wing/half forward.

Daiucos had 13 vs Brisbane from a forward pocket.

As for the Coleman rubbish, Hudson and Lockett both have better averages so stick that in your statistical pipe. A flash in the pan can be dazzling but real gold stands the test of time.

Coventry rewrote the records time an again, he lead his own clubs goalkicking for over a decade: is that longer than Coleman's combined playing and coaching career? Honestly open your eyes, it was a political sop to a powerful club to name the award after a non-Pie. Just like the Norm Smith. Jeez McHale won more Grand Finals than Smith even coached FFS, he put his team into Grand Finals over three decades.

It was like naming a new grandstand after Dean Jones instead of Ponsford.

it is shame you fail to research and just shoot from the hip...
Let's begin to dispell 95% of things you say... Lockett ran at 71.6 goals per year and 4.84 goals per match... Hudson only beats Coleman in goals per match 5.64 vs. 5.48.

Records... yeah coleman didnt set any... equalled the most goals kicked on debut (12)... goal with his first kick (illustrious club)...

As for Jeez McHale won more Grand Finals than Smith even coached FFS, he put his team into Grand Finals over three decades...
McHale - 8 premierships (1 player/coach, 7 coach)
Smith - 6 premierships & 2 runners up

When you including playing premierships...
McHale - 9 premierships (1 player, 1 player/coach, 7 coach)
Smith - 10 premierships (4 player, 6 coach)

As for the three decades spans... McHale had collingwood in finals in the 10's, 20's and 30's... Norm Smith had Melbourne in grand finals in the 30's, 40's, 50's & 60's...

Additionally in 2001, the premiership coach was first awarded the Jock McHale Medal and retrospectively made this award to each premiership coach since 1950, the year after McHale retired as a coach.

Coleman was a pure freak and deserves every accolade he has ever been given... including 296 goals in two seasons at Hastings before debuting with 12 goals for Essendon in 1949... not to mention:
1949 (debut year) - 100 goals
1950 - 120 goals

It took Coventry 9 years to secure his first 100 goal season and only had 4, 100 goal seasons in 17 seasons vs. Colemans 3 in 5 years...

How can you be a flash in the pan if your consistent for 5 years?

And to finish off... the "old' political agenda against collingwood hey?... that old chestnut has done the rounds for so long... get head out of the sand, it doesn't exist... McHale has a medal named after him, Collingwood get's ridiculously cruisy draws each year not to mention the serious lack of action when it comes to an away strip...

egomaniacs...

The 14 against Richmond he played wing/forward pocket.
And to add further to the coaching/playing premiership argument. Barassi Jnr. Played/coached in 10 premierships, more than anyone.

Oh dear the Collingwood version of Graham Cornes
 
Interesting list. They were all fairly accurate kicking for goal as well.

They are all entrenched on the list too. A bag nowadays is 7 or 8 goals and with the defensive mindset of coaching it will likely stay that way.

disagree.

champion full forwards don't grow on trees.
(the champion full forwards are the ones who average 4+ per game)

we don't have any "champion" full forwards playing the game now and if you think we do then you mustn't have seen some of the real freak goalkickers.

the time will come again, just don't know when.

we've really only had 4 era's of champion full forwards
the coventry, pratt era
the coleman era
the hudson, mckenna era
the lockett, dustall, ablett era.

Are you taking the piss? Coleman played 5 years, not 2, and kicked 100 in 3 of them. Coventry only managed 1 more ton despite playing 12 more seasons.

Bernie Naylor (19 April 1923 – 26 September 1993
South Freo
He holds the WAFL records for most goals in a game with 23 goals vs Subiaco in 1953 (including 12 in a quarter) and in a season with 167, also in 1953.[4]
Click to expand...
what was bernies years like either side of that 167?

In doing my Coleman reading, the two years before he played for Essendon (1947 & 1948) he kicked 136 & 160 for Hastings...

Then again it was a mere mornington league, but the fact that he was able to coming into a then VFL side and jagg a lazy 100 in his debut year and then to prove he wasn't a fluke he backed it up with 120 the year after... 516 goals in 4 years of football...
