The only stats I could find on left footers was from 2015 and it was 20 percent of the league, I’m guessing similar numbers now??

I can’t name too many “lefties” Brownlow
Medalists from the AFL era though.
Matt Priddis Tom Mitchell Simon Black Paul Couch any others?

A lot of top vote getters but don’t seem to get the pole position.

Matt Priddis was a left footer?

I remember Peter Sumich kicking 100 goals in a season as a left footer.

Does Jason Akermanis count? I mean he could kick well with either foot.

Yea no lack of Coleman’s and goals with Franklin Cameron and Lloyd.
 
Yes, Priddie is a leftie.

Isn't Sam Mitchell one?

Tony Liberatore is another.
 
Sam Mitchell was equally good on either foot but reckoned he got more distance on his left.

Long term the 20% average will be roughly right.

Bob Skilton and Ian Stewart were both lefties who won 6 Brownlows between them in the 60s.
Mitchell was right footed.

Don't worry, Errol is going to win the next 3.
Nice little boost to the numbers
Few lefties in contention Bont has to win won you would have thought! Errol is a chance as well. Mckercher is the highest draft pick left foot I think from last years crop?

The best young left foot players in the comp I can think of are.
Ugle Hagan
Hayden Young
Colby Mckercher
Is Will Day?
