Leading Goalkickers
Brendan Fevola was Carlton's leading goalkicker for 2008, kicking 99 goals for the season. It was the sixth consecutive time that Fevola won the club goalkicking. The 99-goal tally was the highest of Fevola's career, but it was not enough to win the Coleman Medal, with Hawthorn's Lance Franklin kicking 102 goals in the home-and-away season.
Fevola's tally of 99 goals the highest season tally for Carlton history since Alex Jesaulenko's 115 goals in the 1970 season. In addition to his 99 goals at premiership level, Fevola kicked six goals for Victoria in the AFL Hall of Fame Tribute Match.

Famous quotes containing the word leading:
“The loneliest feeling in the world is when you think you are leading the parade and turn to find that no one is following you. No president who badly misguesses public opinion will last very long.”
