On September 25 2010, a 10-year-old Keidean Coleman was at his grandmother’s house, watching the grand final with his younger brother, Blake. Both had their colours nailed to the mast.
But Keidean has excelled since his arrival at the Lions in 2019, making his debut in round five the following year against the team he grew up supporting. “I still remember my first game, running out against Scotty Pendlebury, it was surreal,” he said.He has rarely missed a match in the past three years. Against Carlton in last week’s preliminary final, he played the game of his life, cutting the Blues to pieces with his kicking from half-back, widely adjudged best on ground.
The results were devastating for the Blues: Coleman had a game-high 11 intercepts and an equal-high seven score involvements, including one direct assist, an exquisite 50-metre pass to Joe Daniher.He might get nervous, but doesn’t allow himself to become paralysed. “I don’t try to rush myself,” he said. “Especially in my junior career, I don’t really think about the game too much, I just back myself, I know what I’m capable of.
