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:
“We have got to stop the nervous Nellies and the Toms from going to the Man’s place. I don’t believe in killing, but a good whipping behind the bushes wouldn’t hurt them.... These bourgeoisie Negroes aren’t helping. It’s the ghetto Negroes who are leading the way.”
—Fannie Lou Hamer (1917–1977)
