The Coleman Medal is an Australian rules football award given annually to the Australian Football League (AFL) player who kicks the most goals in the home-and-away season. It is named after Essendon full-forward John Coleman, one of the most prolific goalkickers in the league's history, who was league leading goalkicker for five consecutive seasons.[1]
The medal has been presented at various different events, including the preliminary[2] and grand finals,[3] the All-Australian awards ceremony,[4][5] and club award ceremonies.[6] Carlton's Charlie Curnow is the most recent recipient, kicking 78 goals in 2023.[7]
