You might have to take that rep game off your list. The VFA won the match by 126 points, so Pretto was on the winning side.

Do you have a date for that game? Not doubting your claim but that seems like a huge blunder for me to make considering the winning margin. I can't remember where I would have gotten that info from. I thought it may have been in Marc Fiddian's book Goals, Goals, Goals but there is no mention of Pretto's representative game in there.

I have found the game mentioned on Wikipedia. It was played on June 12, and I found and Age article about it through Google News. The listing is now removed from my original post.

Jock Spencer kicked 10 in a North side that lost to South at the Lake Oval by a point (round 15, 1951).

Gary Ablett Snr kicked 14 in a game losing to Essendon. Paul Salmon kicked 10 for the winners.

Carey kicked 10 against us in a loss too.

Bill Pearson kicked 12 in a losing side for the VAFA versus the South Australian Amateurs in 1937.

I remember Cary Millhouse kicking 10 for Hobart in a TFL match at Bellerive in a loss to Clarence in 1985.
