Records Many records were set in the season of 1929, mostly by the Collingwood team. They remained undefeated during the home and away season, and they became the first team to score 2000 points in a season. Gordon Coventry was the leading goal kicker (for the forth year in a row) and kicked 124 goals throughout the year, the first time 100 goals had been scored by a single player in a season. It also gave Collingwood the most premierships of any VFL team, a record which they held until 1982 when they were surpassed by Carlton.
