Quite a few decent games 1977:Check out Leigh Mathews stats, I think 1977 is the best one
No current season stats available
Definitely Dustin Martin's 2017 season, which was possibly the most dominant individual season ever played considering he wasn't a stay-at-home full forward in an era of crude defensive strategies.
1. Brownlow medal with record votes. The highest individual award in the Australian game.
2. Coaches' Association Champion Player Award (some consider this the Brownlow's 'more accurate' cousin)
3. AFL Players MVP award. Prone to hype bias, but this still means his peers voted him the best.
4. Gary Ayres Award for player of the finals series. Finals performances carry a far greater weight than non-finals in terms of difficulty and reputation.
5. Premiership medallion. Not an individual award but I doubt Richmond could have won it without Martin.
6. Norm Smith Medal, becoming the first man ever to win a Brownlow and a Normie in the same season. Many players and fans would give up a Brownlow or even two for a Normie, such is the greatness of being the best player in the most important game.
7. Club best-and-fairest, just to top it off casually.
Despite his dominance, the umpires somehow only gave him 34 votes with 9 BOGs (2 umpires voted in that year, so essentially 17 votes and 4.5 BOGs).Quite a few decent games 1977:
37 disp/5goals
38 disp/7goals
37 disp/7goals
33 disp/7goals
30 disp/5goals
30+/5+ is a once on a career game for most. Dangerfield has 1, Michael Waltersas well. Not sure anybody else going around at the moment. Ablett Snr. did it 3 times over his career, Wayne Carey and Dane SwanPLAYERCARDSTART10Michael Walters

Yeah that's up there for meI still feel like Kouta, for about 16 games in 2000 played the sport at a level I haven’t seen anyone match.

If Martins 2017 is the best ever then Dangers 2017 has to be secondGraham Moss - 1976
Stephen Michael - 1981
In the AFL era.
Dustin Martin - 2017
WOW! How the hell didn't he win the Brownlow and every other award going that year?
Gary Ablett Jnr 2010
31.5 possessions per game and kick 44 goals
Not bad considering his coke head of a coach would lump him in a FP for long spells because of his refusal to sign a new contract
You just fed the Tiger Army... It's what every thread a Richmond supporter has started in the last 4 years is about, milking the recognition they feel starved of.
They don't care if it takes up space, if it grows into a 400 page behemoth they lose control of, so long as they can skim thru and cherry pick the salivating comments that praise their club or players.
You people are like bears to honey..
..........
One that hasn't been mentioned yet - Kelvin Templeton in 1980.
75 goals from centre half forward in a team that finished last. In hindsight it's a miracle he won the Brownlow, no chance that could happen now.
If Martins 2017 is the best ever then Dangers 2017 has to be second
If he didn't miss the game suspended he potentially draws level in the brownlow and wins the AFLCA award too
