Yes, that makes it quite a big story! According to the official records, in 123 VFL/AFL seasons Collingwood has only had joint leading goalkickers once (2002).wow – that’s a whole new retrospective medal to be awarded!
However AFL Tables shows both Bob Galbally and Lou Richards on 26 goals for 1944.
This is what it said on the AFL Historical Statistics site:
The AFL Season Guide has just Richards (26 goals) as the award winner for that year, as does Wikipedia and AustralianFootball.com. Interesting!
Terry Waters is credited with being leading goalkicker on two occasions (1963, 1964) and Ian Graham one (1966). Perhaps ironically, Graham won the B&F in 1964.
Edit: It does have Richards and Galbally as joint winners (26 goals) on this page on Collingwood Forever: https://forever.collingwoodfc.com.au/the-awards-leading-goalkicker/
Ideally it would be shown that way on all sources.
