Fevola is regarded as one of the most effective full-forwards to have played AFL in the 2000s,[citation needed] having won the Coleman Medal for league-leading goalkicker in 2006 and 2009 (kicking 84 and 86 goals, respectively) as well as All-Australian selection as a forward three times since 2006. His representative honours include playing for Victoria, where he was a leading goalkicker and was awarded the Allen Aylett Medal for being the state team's best player during the 2008 AFL Hall of Fame Tribute Match. During his career at Carlton, he was the club's leading goalkicker and key forward from 2003 until 2009. However, throughout his career, he has been a controversial figure off the field, which ultimately led to him parting company with both of his AFL clubs.
