With his two contested marks on Saturday, [PLAYERCARD]Rory Lobb[/PLAYERCARD] moves into the top 30 of all time for contested marks.

Libba needs another 9 contested possessions to surpass the 3,000 mark. He currently sits 20th all time in that stat.

Speaking of 9 contested possessions, that's how many Bont got on Saturday and with that he moves into the top 30 of all time in that stat.

Bizarre how there was only one occurrence in each of our premiership decades - 1950's and 2010's

Failed to make the finals this season, but it was a good year for kicking centuries.

Most Bulldog century scores in a season:

17 2008, 2009

Interesting that neither of our flag or GF years feature in that list and yet 2008 and 09 where we finished the mythical top 4 are where we flogged everyone except the teams that mattered.

Now they might be 9 times just off the list but what does it tell you

Most of the 1950s to mid-1960s became a low-scoring era, with no individual century goalkickers between 1953 and 1967. We kicked only 4 centuries in 1954, with Melbourne kicking the most that season with 6. In 1961 we kicked 3 centuries and only Melbourne made it to 4. We kicked 7 in 2016 and 9 in 2021.

The top 3 teams in 08/09 were far superior than 16/21 top 3.
 
Our 100th VFL/AFL anniversary season now over, I thought I would put together our overall win-loss record for all VFL/AFL games.

Great work! But also wanted to highlight this isn't all the games played by our club, as we played VFA Reserves (designated juniors and the 'Junior Football Association' before 1925, and won three of those flags too, e.g.
