Timeline
Keith MacKenzie Forbes (28 May 1906 – 7 September 1996) was a former Australian rules footballer who played for Coburg in the Victorian Football Association (VFA), and for Essendon, North Melbourne (as captain-coach), and Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Forbes played a total of 30 games for Coburg over three seasons (1926–1928), and was part of the 1927 premiership team.
Forbes transferred to Essendon without a clearance from Coburg, having played for Coburg for the first five matches in the VFA's 1928 season, as did another two of his 1927 Grand Final winning Coburg team-mates, Aub Charleston, and Ernie Martin.
In his first year with Essendon (1928), despite missing the first five matches (he made his debut in round 6), he came third.
He was twice runner-up in the Brownlow Medal; in 1930 (joint), and in 1935.
He took Essendon's best and fairest twice, and was runner-up on two occasions.
He kicked his 200th VFL goal in 1932 and was the first Essendon player to achieve this milestone.
Forbes went on to also be the first Essendon player to kick both 300 and 400 goals.
He captained Essendon in 1934, 1935, and 1937.
Forbes was reported for attempting to kick Leo Ryan during the round 12 match against Footscray on 28 July 1934; and, following the VFL Tribunal's hearing on 31 July 1934, Forbes was suspended for four weeks.
He married Dorothy Viola Brown on 25 November 1935.
A small goalkicking rover, he stood at 171 cm.
He achieved the 300 goal mark during the 1935 season, and then the 400 goal mark during his final, tenth year at Essendon in 1937.
He stepped aside to allow Jack Baggott to captain/coach in 1936 and part of 1937, serving as the team's vice-captain.
In nine of his ten years with Essendon, he either won, or was runner-up in goal kicking.
In 1938 and 1939 Forbes was the captain-coach of North Melbourne.
Having served the remaining four weeks of his 1939 suspension, Forbes played four senior games with Fitzroy in 1940.
During the fiery round 16 match against Richmond on 12 August 1939, in which the spectators invaded the ground and mobbed the players and umpires at the end of the match, Forbes was reported for two offences:
Following the VFL Tribunal's hearing on 15 August 1939, Forbes was suspended for six matches.
In 1997, he was selected as an interchange player in Essendon's "Team of the Century".
In 2002 an Essendon panel ranked him at 16 in their Champions of Essendon list of the 25 greatest players ever to have played for Essendon.
Forbes was inducted into the Essendon Football Club's Hall of Fame in 2011.
His average of goals per game during his 10 years at the Bombers (2.73) ranks him in the top 3 goal kicking rovers in VFL/AFL history.
