I see Robbie Gray had another superb performance today....His current hot form reminds me so much of Leigh Matthews at his masterful best.

Anyways....Following on from last weeks 30 & 6 thread, it got me wondering as to how many times Barney knocked up the 20 & 5 figure in a game.

Answer?....41 Times.

7.2 & 37 Disposals vs Footscray Round 18, 1977.

8.5 & 25 Disposals vs Coll’wood Round 19, 1982.
6.2 & 25 Disposals vs Fitzroy Round 16, 1977.
5.3 & 25 Disposals vs St.Kilda Round 2, 1975
5.3 & 25 Disposals vs Footscray Round 7, 1978

6.3 & 24 Disposals vs Carlton Round 20, 1983.
6.1 & 24 Disposals vs St.Kilda Round 3, 1983.
5.4 & 24 Disposals vs Footscray Round 13, 1982

Do any other players in the history of the comp come close to this figure, I wonder?.....Even half this figure would be a great effort.

Doh! I was just about to post something very similar to that!

I make it 41 times for Matthews, with 5.1 & 21 Disposals vs Richmond Round 3, 1975 missing from your list. I have it being done 1299 times by 488 different players, prior to the current round.

Cheers for the speedy work:

Yeah....Might be an idea to check on my work for the others also, as I basically just scrolled down once & counted without double-checking.

Amazingly, Lockett only ever had more than 20 possessions on 8 occasions.....Gob-smacking stat that.

He really was just your traditional lead-up, mark & kick full forward....And nothing else.....He just happened to be an amazingly accurate kick also.

I have Matthew Richardson 14, Jonathan Brown 12, Nick Riewoldt on 10*.

Peter Bedford (South Melbourne) 10, David Cloke (Richmond) 9, Travis Cloke (Collingwood) 8*, Allan Davis 9 (St Kilda 8, Essendon 1), Royce Hart (Richmond) 8, Steve Johnson 12* (Geelong 11, GWS 1), Tony Lockett 8 (St Kilda 6, Sydney 2), John F. Murphy 10 (Fitzroy 8, South Melbourne 2), and Brian Royal (Footscray) 8 are the others with 8 or more.

Edit: Removed the t from Johnson!!

Lockett did indeed have 20+ disposals 'just' the 8 times, but he obviously made them count. He certainly got to the 5+ goal mark in all of those games, scoring 12-16-11-12-10-12-15-11!!

Bedford hey?....Would never have thought to check on him.

Pretty remiss of me to overlook both Johnston & Hart though....Unforgivable really.;)

I knew Lockett had the 8, as mentioned but just plain forgot to include him in my list....A simple oversight.

Buddy in 3rd spot, ahead of Ablett, was the real surprise though....He can still catch Carey for 2nd too.
 
If that's a list of 20 and 5s by club, it's not surprising that Hawthorn leads all comers. Leigh Matthews record was that imposing that it actually alters club records :eek:
Matthews obviously was the main contributor to that imposing tally. Yet there's plenty of other Hawks with decent enough tallies, and because you Hawthorn folks seem awfully nice, here they all are!:-
