Jeremy Cameron needs 25 goals in 5 games to crack the ton

[PowerfulPies2023]

For the first time since 2008 a players has done this. He shoukd get it with some cannon fodder to come in the next few weeks. Geelong will have at least 5 games remaining this season maybe 6 possibly 7. I hope he gets it and think he will.

Thoughts?

He needs 26, not 25.

Also people are changing the goal posts here (no pun intended), the ton's significance is when it's achieved in the H&A season.

Doing it in finals means nothing, just as with the Brownlow.

To bring in finals is to give him an out for not being good enough to do it in the season. No need to pervert history just for our amusement.

Bullshit.a ton is a ton. If he gets it it's an incredible achievement. 100 these days is like 150 in the old days.

No, that's the Coleman Medal.
Are you saying that Pratt and Hudson didn't kick 150?

Goals have always been counted for finals.

Somebody better tell those Saints fans that ran out when Gehrig got his ton in the prelim final.

Peter Sumich in 91 too

Ironically, this changed when Lloyd got his in finals. Essendon started moving the goalposts

 

[LoungeLizard]

If you can't do it in a H&A like Buddy you're shifting the goalposts.

You're the one shifting the goalposts mate, they have been counted since the start of vfl/afl.

Get another shovel if you want to keep it up, that one looks blunt.

Regardless of anything else, the gap between 75 and 100 is 25, not 26.

Peter Hudson doesn't have a season best of 150 then?

I guess poor old matty lloyd never kicked the ton then. In a much easier era to do so as well

Or the Hawks fans that ran out in the 1994 qualifying finals.

Not in the home and away season

If it only started counting for Lloyd why'd Hawks fans celebrate it for Dunstall 6 years earlier?

Nah, it counts

Difference between fans celebrating 100 goals, and the club coming out demanding recognition for it

 

[RedmanWasHere]

H/A or finals, I'd like to see Jezza get it.

Just don't want 10 or more of the 25 required to be against Essendon.

He must be famished.

 

[Trent85]

Im amazed no-one has tried he has an extra H/A game vs Buddy, Gablett etc. who had an extra 4 H/A games more than Coventry....

Kicking a 100 goals is special full stop.

According to this https://www.afl.com.au/news/772255/centurions-podcast-listen-to-the-legends-who-kicked-the-ton 28 players have cracked a ton and according to afltables 13,257 have played in the AFL/VFL so basically 0.2% have done it.

However from 1968 to 1998 you had a golden era for goal kickers so to defend/elevate that era especially from 98-08 doing it in the H/A is seen as the elite of the elite.

Does it really matter? Honestly no but if you want to create a VIP section in an exclusive club who am I to judge.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Fair enough you guys convinced me, 100 is 100. Still a little skewed considering some forwards don't get the extra games in finals when their sides are too shit to make it but whatever. Also in regards to the calculation I thought he kicked 5 not 6.

He still won't make it to 100 anyway.

 

[BuffDog]

Wouldn’t be surprised if he hits 100 this Friday against the Bombers

I don't think having potentially less games is the main thing holding back forwards in shit teams from kicking 100
