The Coleman Medal is one of the most prestigious awards in Australian soccer. This award is given to the player who scores the maximum number of goals in the AFL. Everyone in the AFL dreams of winning the Coleman Medal. The season is very short: it lasts only 23 weeks. As we get closer to the finish line, the excitement increases. Any player ranked second or third can jump ahead and knock off the favourite at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coleman Medal History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The medal was founded in honour of John Douglas Coleman. Coleman was one of the legendary players of the AFL. He played for the Essendon Club. He later became the coach of that club and coached it in the VFL. Coleman has a history of scoring 537 goals in 98 games. Coleman led the team in scoring from 1949 to 1953. He also had an impressive technique for the game. At age 25 he suffered a knee injury and had to end his playing career at that point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1981, the VFL introduced the Coleman Medal. The date for the Coleman Medal falls differently each season. The medal is awarded at grand finals, postseason nights, or other major award ceremonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            In 2021, the AFL Premier League saw a trend of roster leaders like Josh Kennedy, Jeremy Cameron, Tom Hawkins, Ben Brown, Tom Lynch and Lance Franklin falling behind in scoring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The undisputed stars remain Harry McKay of Carleton and Taylor Walker of Adelaide. And the last two Coleman Medal winners, Tom Hawkins and Jeremy Cameron are also expected to play in the same forward line. Cameron is also remembered by fans for transferring from the Giants to the Geelong Cats in the offseason. Now he will have to play with one of the old-timers of this club Tom Hawkins. Forecasters believe this alliance will be one of the most powerful combinations in AFL history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
