Multiple coleman medallists on the same team

[POPE]

Brown and Fev


has there been any others?

 

[walhawk]

Hudson & Matthews.

Possibly Peck & Hudson.

 

[ipk086]

Peter Hudson / Leigh Matthews

edit: Walhawk beat me to it!

 

[AG]

Roughead/Franklin could be the next duo.

Did Lloyd and Cummings ever play any games together at Essendon?

They did, but not while they were Colemen medallists.

 

[bresker]

Teddy Lockwood and Charlie Pannam

Well obviously given Cummings won his Coleman at the Eagles

at the turn of the century, long before being known as the coleman medal there were three successive years that where the VFL leading goal kickers were 4 players from 2 clubs.


1891 - Fred Hiskins (Essendon): 34 goals
1890 - Albert Thurgood (Ess), Teddy Lockwood (Geel): 24 goals each
1889 - Eddy James (Geelong): 31 goals
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Hiskins
Eddy James' career ended in an injury sustained in the 1890 season, so they didn't quite play alongside each other as leading goal kickers, but it was in the making

As mentioned above Teddy Lockwood also topped the goal kicking while at Collingwood, but in a twist similar to the case above, Charlie Pannam's effort was in Lockwood's final season so they never actually played together as the acknowledged leading goal kickers as Fevola and Brown will.

jeez the 1800's

 

[ginosec]

jeez the 1800's

just from memory

 

[Lensen]

Fair effort to be vfl leading goalkickers before the comp existed

 

[lards]

Gumbleton and Hurley

 

[Royal Flush]

Doug Wade and Malcolm Blight,
both played in the same team and became coleman medalists while playing for North.

 

[SaintsPremiers08]

Gumbleton and Hurley

Who?

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Would Beasley/Templeton, Templeton/Quinlan have played in the same team? Bit before my time...Heatley and Plugger?

Roach and BT definitely were. Depends whether you specify they already had their Colemans when they were together

Heatley?

He never won a coleman.

Wade retired before Blight won the goalkicking.

Looks like Hudson & Matthews in 1977 the only one.

 

[Tulip]

I know Neitz won it in 2002 and Robbo came close a few years later while they were both still playing

 

[Hodgies Heroes]

Wade retired before Blight won the goalkicking.

Looks like Hudson & Matthews in 1977 the only one.

Norm Smith ( leading goal kicker in 1941 ) and Fred Fanning ( leading goal kicker 1943,44,45,46 ) played together for a few years.

 

[The Panther]

Gordon Coventry started his career with Dick Lee (he led the Goalkicking 6 times) & ended it with Ron Todd (he led the Goalkicking 3 times & kicked 327 goals in 75 matches).

Would Beasley/Templeton, Templeton/Quinlan have played in the same team?.

Both K. Templeton (1978 - 118 goals; 1979 - 91 goals) and S. Beasley (1985 - 105) played for Footscray in 1982. Templeton was traded to Melbourne for the 1983 season.

I am not certain whether they played in a game together but they were both on the club list in 1982. It is highly likely they did.

Having said that, Beasley was not technically a Coleman Medalist until 1985. Secondly, I query whether it was known as the Coleman Medal in 1978 and 1979? It may be that it was just known as the leading goal kicker.

Would Beasley/Templeton, Templeton/Quinlan have played in the same team?

Templeton and Quinlan together played for Footscray from 1974 to 1977. Neither, at that time, were Coleman Medalists. Quinlan was traded to Fitzroy in 1978.

Templeton (Footscray) lead the VFL goal kicking in 1978 (118) and 1979 (91).
Quinlan (Fitzroy) lead the VFL goal kicking in 1983 (116) and 1984 (105).

In answer to my own question above, it has been known as the John Coleman Medal since 1955 (Source: The official statistical history of the AFL: 2003).

Around the early 80s Richmond had in the same year;

Seniors Leading Goalkicker: Michael Roach
reserves Leading Goal Kicker: Brian Taylor
U/19s leading Goal Kicker: Mark jacko Jackson.

all on big numbers

Carey and Longmire (1990 Coleman) are the closest recently I would say, along with Roughead and Franklin.
