Who won the 1993 Coleman Medal as the AFL season’s leading goal-kicker?

Gary Ablett Sr won the 1993 Coleman Medal as the AFL season’s leading goal-kicker.

Playing for Geelong, Ablett kicked 124 goals during the 1993 home-and-away season. His total made him the competition’s most prolific regular-season scorer and earned him the Coleman Medal, which had been introduced in 1955.

Ablett’s 1993 campaign was part of an extraordinary period in his career. He had already won the award in 1990 and 1991, and his third Coleman Medal confirmed his status as one of the era’s dominant forwards.

The Coleman Medal counts goals kicked in home-and-away matches, not finals. Ablett also kicked four goals in Geelong’s 1993 finals campaign. He is often confused with Tony Lockett or Jason Dunstall, other leading full-forwards of the period, but Ablett was the 1993 winner.
