There's still no denying he was the best that ever was and ever will be.

Just doing the stats for the 1978 season for a particular website and I have Matthews down for 26 disposals a game in an era where possessions meant something, and of course we have the 3 goals a match :o

That's some crazy stats, Leigh.

Was that the year he got a conviction for common assault for his efforts in a game?? Isn't he the only player in VFL/AFL history to be charged by police for basically being a sniping low ****?

Stats to be proud of Leigh. Very proud.
 
Leigh Matthews sniping Culture exists at all the clubs he has been involved with thanks to his time at Hawthorn.

Cue 2004 Brisbane Grand Final Loss tape :D.

Also Ablett SR and jr better than Matthews.

I fail to see how 26 touches and three goals causes you embarrassment in any way. :confused:

Great player.

Respectable.

Of course in the current era, where possessions don't mean anything, he's just an average goalkicker.

That's some average stats, Leigh.
 
Would you perhaps have the DVD to back up that claim Hodgepodge?

Ahh jeez, lets start threads about who was a good player back in the amateur VFL days when training on Tuesdays was optional but Thursday was compulsory.

Did Lethal have a gasper at 1/2 time with all the other overweight plodders who he played alongside?
 
It's going to be a long summer if HP keeps pushing the same lines over and over again.
Tis time for some new material HP your act is getting a bit stale give the Bay something new and improved

Any website that trusts HodgePodge with stats is a website worth avoiding.

Good stuff.

Unfortunately there is a team of us, and I'm just helping out for posterity. Finished the Carlton team's stats for 1978. Trevor Keogh was a ball magnet at times.

Is it just me, or does young Lethal (wearing Chelsea's Geelong jumper) look like a bit like Joel Selwood?

Now if only Joel would start kicking 3 or 4 goals per game, stop ducking his head and knock a few dudes out, then there would be an even greater resemblance.

Great picture there. Looking a bit Roman. :D

Selwood's averageing 0.3 goals a game at the moment. It's a start.
 
Is painful listening to the senile fool play down Carey and talk up other CHF's.

Decent little player who would have looked ordinary playing in a lesser side in Carey's era.

Leigh Matthews said Wayne Carey is the best player he's ever seen.

Excluding himself of course.

Might be so but I standby the fact he doesn't talk up the duck even close to a Malthouse, Lyon, Hird. Which is fair enough I suppose but it crosses the line when he tries to push Riewoldt and Brown ahead of the King. Watched a replay of a 90's game recently and even then he was playing down some of the ducks work. Aker special comments to replace the old master?
