The 30 and 5 Club Welcomes a New Member - The Mongrel Punt

It's been a while, but Isaac Heeney kicked down the door to the 30 and 5 Club in Round 19, 2025. Welcome to... The Club

This is incorrect. John Greening had 46 possessions and 6 goals. Should be in all the clubs

Cotchin had 30+ & kicked 5 goals vs the Saints. I guess the article missed it in they just naming examples.

I just looked him up...

That incident that cost him 2 years, really glad that sort of thuggery is out of the game.

Dunstall is the only known member of the 29 and 17 club (Fred Fanning didn’t record his kicks in 1949)

I don't think Dunstall recorded his kicks in 1992 either.

Nah, Buckley did though.

Absolute downhill skier, not a single tackle by either side the entire game.

He never recovered from that incident, was never the same. Easily the most talented and gifted Collingwood player I have ever seen. More talented than old man Daicos.

 

[South of the Yarra]

Greening also had 45 and 4 one day and another day he had 50 disposals but no goals

 

[South of the Yarra]

In 1972 over 2 weeks Greening had 91 disposals and 10 goals.

with 30 and 5 in a win over Carlton only served to make the rest of his career even more frustrating as he has ability but has never lived up to it

Mark Riccutio

35 and 5 2001 vs kangaroos
41 and 4 2000 vs Port

 

[RUNVS]

41 and 4 2000 vs Port

What a loser.

 

[Mr Meow]

What a loser.

40 and 4 is rarer. I doubt Heeney gets that one.

 

[RUNVS]

I was mainly joking.

I know it is coming up with random stats and if you bring enough stats into it you can make any player look unique and special but apparently Heeney is the only player in AFL/VFL history to get 30+ disposals, 5 goals and 12 clearances in a match.

I was taking the piss too.

I'd still like to see 60 and 6 one day.

I was happy enough watching a 12 & 6 on Sunday from someone Essendon delisted who was playing on the Collingwood Captain.

Michael Voss' son is undoubtedly doing great things at the moment.

 

[Roobs321]

the first 30 & 5 to jump to mind for me as a reference point was Cooney against the Crows in R20 2006 (kicked the winner there too).

first time he had 30+ or 4+ in a game, and in a pivotal game too (1st v 8th, just about qualified them for finals, the Cats-Demons draw sealed it). West got the 3, Johnno a 0 (both were Brownlow contenders).

 

[South of the Yarra]

How many others in the 46 and 6 club with Greening?

 

[Mr Meow]

17.

 

[Rotayjay]

It goes to show just how good Leigh Matthews was. Absolutely tore the competition to shreds.

Cost him 2 years? It cost him his footy career.
He was the best of the best.
