Vic Chanter - Goal-less Coleman

Goal-less Coleman

In 1952, he was vice-captain; and, on Saturday, 28 June 1952, in round ten of the 1952 season, at a very, very muddy Brunswick Street Oval, in a tough, rugged match where Fitzroy 13.12 (90) beat Essendon 5.8 (38), Chanter played at full back against Essendon champion full-forward, John Coleman.

Coleman, who would finish the season with 103 goals, did not score a goal in the match; and this was the first (and only) time that Coleman was held goal-less in his entire 98 game career. He had less than half a dozen kicks for the entire match, and was only able to score two behinds, one of which was scored in the last scoring kick of the match.
