  • Coleman Medallist
    Coleman Medal Student Activity 7 8 9 10 11 12 TI-Nspire™ Investigation Student 30 min Full Stop for Full Forwards The Coleman medal, named after John Coleman (Essendon 1949 to 1954) is awarded to the AFL player that kicks the most goals in a season. Coleman kicked 12 goals in his debut match and still mixes it with the best when it comes to the average number of goals kicked per game. Peter Hudson was the first Coleman medal recipient to kick more than 100 goals in a season (1968, 125 goals), he backed this up with 146 goals in 1970, 140 in 1971 and 105 in 1977. Since this amazing era, players such as Jason Dunstall, Tony Lockett and Gary Ablett (Snr) have collected multiple Coleman medals consisting of more than 100 goals in a season. More recently, recipients of the medal have kicked between 60 and 80 goals per season. Does this recent trend represent a ‘full stop’ for full forwards? Your task is to see if data supports the notion that the position of full forward is no longer as critical as it was in the 1970’s through to the 1990’s. Coleman Data Open the TI-nspire file “Full Forward Full Stop”. Navigate to page 1.2. Player Alphabetical listing Coleman Medallist. Team Team when medal was awarded. Year Year when medal was awarded.

A Vic Country representative at Under 16 and Under 18 level, he was drafted as a Father-Son selection by the Lions in 1999 and debuted against the Adelaide Crows in Round 5, 2000. He played 13 games in his rookie season as the young up-and-coming Lions outfit continued to develop into a potential contender. The following season, it all came together in a hurry for the team and for Brown personally. The 19 year-old played all 25 games in 2001 and booted 38 goals to be named Most Improved Player in the Lions’ first premiership in 57 years. Another two flags followed in 2002 and 2003 as the Brisbane Lions became the first VFL/AFL team in 46 years to win a premiership hat- trick.
