I am incredibly doubtful this ever occurred in the modern game.I'm trying to think of anyone that might have done 25 and 2?

20&2 is rare.I've found Leigh Matthews and KB back in the day.
And Stephenson. More wing I guess, but the flexibility that having all three brings is pretty nuts.He and JHF are going to be a hell of a double act running through the middle and pushing forward.

Steve Johnson in 2008 & 2011
GAJ never hit the stat, 31.5 & 1.8 in 2010
IMO if we were to have a player hit a stat like 25 & 2 it would mean two things.
1) that player is probably the best player in the league.
2) we as a club are likely playing a style of football that changes the way the game is played.
if within the current bounds of the game the absolute elite aren't getting near this as a stat and they haven't for a decade then it kinda means the stat has become unachievable.
It is similar to 100 goals. the way the game is now simply does not allow for an individual to achieve it. I mean sure Buddy did, but that was 13 years ago.
And Stephenson. More wing I guess, but the flexibility that having all three brings is pretty nuts.
Once he has hit his athletic prime, I don't think he'll be spending as much time forward as people here suspect. He averaged 3.7 clearances a game at the end of the season and I think that number is only going to trend upwards. Fyfe averaged 4.0 in his third year and then exploded to 5.9 in year four. Thomas is certainly capable of that same jump.
His last seven rounds were 22.1d, 3.7cl and 1.3g. Fyfe in his third year was 23.4d, 4.0cl and 0.4g and Bontempelli was 24.4d, 4.2cl and 1.0g. He isn't quite as tall as those two, but I think his aerial ability and power will be comparable to the point where those are the player comparisons that we should be talking about.
He is going to be our biggest body in the middle by far. You have to remember that he is only 21, by the time he hits his athletic prime he'll be a monster. JHF is the more likely player to 20&2 in my opinion.
What an absolute privilege it would be to witness two players who have the potential to be 20&2 players. Two of the last three dynasties had two players capable of 20&2 on any given game - Brisbane with Voss and Akermanis, and Geelong with Ablett Jnr and Chapman. Those four players have 11 premierships, 4 brownlows, and 19 AA selections between them. Chapman seems the odd one out amongst those champs, but he got the closest to averaging 25&2 in 2009, when he averaged 26.8 and 1.9!
The other common thing about those players? They played in some of the greatest midfields the game has ever seen. I could go on, but would get too excited imagining North's next decade...
Chapman was a very, very good player if not quite in the same league as the other three.
We could end up with 3 players who are at or better than 20 and 1.5. Stepho definitely has that potential.
Wonder if he he can play a jack macrae type role for us but he'll kick more goals and sometimes play HF.
And dirty.
He and JHF are going to be a hell of a double act running through the middle and pushing forward.
I just have one question who is running with LDU? whilst they are trying to stop the double act
6 years younger.Macrae averaged 34 possessions a game this year. If TT was getting those numbers with the way he uses the ball and the metres he gains, all the other GOAT contenders would have to concede.

Win whatever it takes. He was a killer
He did what he was allowed to get away with. Until he was deregistered in 1985.
Gonna be a cramped brownlow finish when Jy, Cunners, TT, LDU, Phillips, Powell, Ford, Lazz & JHF are all taking votes off each otherTop 5 brownlow
