Most Goals in a career

Remove this Banner Ad

Marc Geppert has announced his retirement from Australian Rules to concentrate on his new job as the regional manager of AFL Southern NSW so he won't have a conflict of interest with any clubs he has played for.
He retires as a seven - time premiership player, having kicked a career total of goals was 1287 from 261 games at Ganmain -Grong Grong - Matong, Collingullie - Glenfield Park (last club) and East Wagga - Kooringal. From 2006 to 2019 he represented the league for all but one season he played in. He also represented NSW in 2008 and 2012.

I have made it easy for you to look it up if you would like to check out some game day records from those years and the available at the moment but you need to also count 2005 season with Ganmain Grong Grong Matong too as that was his first year with them.
So the link is https://www.nswfootballhistory.com.au/Tabularium2020/Items_view.php which contains records from 1983 to 2009 with four in the next decade with the earliest ones being from 1960 to 1967 of the Farrer Football League

I did read in an article c1982 that he did below.
Trevor Sutton - 1970 - 148 - Geraldton – Great Northern FL

But GNFL don't list him in their leading goalkickers.

No such club called Geraldton in the GNFL - a bit suspicious. If I get a chance some time I will check the Albany Advertiser for 1973 and the Geraldton Guardian for 1970 and see if we can confirm some facts.

His record at Claremont - 4 games, 3 goals in 1974.
He never played seniors at East Freo in 1971.

I think in 1985 he missed the year because of an ACL.
 
Looking through the official GNFL records, he never kicked more than 65 goals in a season and never kicked more than 12 goals in a match.

If you are going to kick 148 in a season, you should be featured in both the 'most goals in a season' and 'most goals in a match' categories.

Season 1970 alone will see his purported tally shaved by at least 83 goals, but in truth it is probably more.

He claims to have played for Geraldton and Karratha Valley ... no such clubs exist.

A scan from a round of SDFNL matches I had from the 70s shows Sutton did play at North Albany but I need to look into things further for that season.

Ah, the infamous Trevor Sutton and the "stories" of his life !

Various articles and interviews over the years have claimed (incorrectly of course) that he also played for Norwood - SANFL, Footscray - VFL, and even represented Australia in boxing at the Munich Olympics in 1972.

One of those articles


Sutton’s name is still spoken of with reverence, whether it concerns the 239 goals he booted in the Darwin league for Nightcliff between 1979-83, or his goalkicking exploits for places such as North Albany, Carnamah, East Fremantle, Claremont, Geraldton, Footscray, Norwood, Coorparoo, North Shore, Kedron, Karatha North, Sandgate, Lake Boga, Robinvale, Townsville Swans, East Wagga-Kooringal and Deniliquin.

North Albany, Carnamah, East Fremantle (never played seniors), Claremont (three senior games for 2.8), Geraldton (no such club name), Footscray, Norwood, Coorparoo, North Shore, Kedron, Karratha North (no such club name), Sandgate, Lake Boga, Robinvale, Townsville Swans, East Wagga-Kooringal and Deniliquin.

He forgot Chapman Valley. Maybe his memory of clubs is as fuzzy as his statistics.

A cursory glance of Trove shows that there is no mention of the name Trevor Sutton in the Hamersley News in the 1970s, which covered the Dampier/West Pilbara league in that era of which the Karratha Kats was the only team in town until 1979. They were premiers in 1974 and he was not mentioned in any articles from that season.

Trevor Sutton - 1984 - 154 - Robinvale - Sunraysia FL
Trevor Sutton - 1984/5- 83 - Townsville Swans - Townsville AFL

To me this does not gel. Queensland plays in the winter yet he is supposed to have played for Robinvale and Swans in the same season?
