Jesse Hogan has broken a three-year Carlton stranglehold, winning the Coleman Medal for the first time and becoming one of the most accurate winners of the award in the past two decades.
With reigning back-to-back winner Charlie Curnow ruled out of Carlton's clash against St Kilda due to an ankle injury, Hogan already had the goalkicking award wrapped up before Sunday's games.
And the GIANTS spearhead put the icing on the cake with a further two goals against the Western Bulldogs to take his season tally to 69, finishing ahead of a rampaging Jeremy Cameron (58), who kicked nine against West Coast on Saturday.
Curnow was third with 57 goals despite missing the final two games of the season, followed by Gold Coast's Ben King on 55.
Hogan is only the second player from the GIANTS to top the goalkicking leaderboard - after Cameron in 2019 - and does so as one of the most accurate winners in the award's history.
The 29-year-old finished the home and away season with a goalkicking accuracy of 65.7 per cent, third behind Matthew Lloyd (71.9 per cent in 2003) and Fraser Gehrig (70.3 per cent in 2004) as the most accurate Coleman winners since 2002, when shots on goal started to be measured.
When measured by just goals and behinds, Hogan is sixth most accurate Coleman winner in the past 50 years.
He kicked goals in every game he played this season, including season-best hauls of six against North Melbourne and Fremantle. He also had two bags of five and kicked four goals on five occasions in a year that has him in pole position for a first All-Australian blazer.
Curnow's wins in 2023 and 2022 were preceded by Harry McKay in 2021, making it three consecutive wins for a Carlton player.
