Has an eagles player ever won a coleman metal? AFL?

Question

Recently the eagles havn't had power forward to turn to. Even in 05/06 grand final, premi times, we dont have a great forward like pavilich, fev, buddy or richo.

But in the past who was a great forward for the eagles? Has a player ever won a coleman metal?

Answer 1

don't think anyone else has.

maybe peter sumich?

Answer 2

Only Scott Cummings in 1999 (he kicked 95.42)

Quentin Lynch - 65.33 in '06 & 52.46 in '07

Peter Sumich - 111.89 in 1991, lost Brownlow to Plugger (118).

Top Goals - All Time

1. Peter Sumich - 514

2. Phill Matera - 389

5. Peter Matera - 217

6. Ben Cousins - 205

7. Quinten Lynch - 171

8. Fraser Gehrig - 159

9. Scott Cummings - 158

10. Andrew Embley - 152

11. Chris Judd - 138

That list is only for goals kicked while playing for WCE as Cummings kicked 349 in his career

Answer 3

yes, only Scott "who ate all the pies" Cummings has won the Coleman at the Eagles, as stated above. though Sumich topped the team list for most goals on numerous occasions.

Answer 4

Yes, Scott Cummings won it in 1999.

Born in 1974, he started his career at Essendon after being drafted in 1992 but also played for Port before his succesful stint at West Coast. The Eagles delisted him and he was picked up in the draft by the Pies where he ended his career at the age of 28.

Answer 5

Scott Cummings did not make the All Australian side at full forward when he won the Coleman medal, is this the first and the last of this type of injustice?

Answer 6

Yes. Only one ever.

Scott Cummings in 1999.

He started his playing career with Swan Districts in the WAFL. (He was skinny then!).

He was given a rough deal when he won the Coleman Medal. He kicked more goals than Matthew LLoyd of Essendon. Essendon finished well in front of the Eagles on the ladder so Lloyd had plenty of scoring opportunities. He played FF for the whole year - the same as Cummings.

But when they selected the All Australian team Lloyd was picked as full forward. Not being one eyed (coz I never am) Cummings was handed a real raw deal by the selectors that year.

"Pretty Boy" Matthew was all the rage at that stage - on the Footy Show every week & on every TV channel whenever it was turned on.
