most points and 'hit the posts' in one game

[Jimmy]

didnt ablett hit the post about 4 time sand kick 6 points? what is the most for these instances? is abletts effort anywhere near a record? esp from a guy that spends a bit of time in the guts.

I don't know if anyone has hit the post 4 times before, but 6 points in a game is nowhere near a record. Ablett's dad once kicked 14.7, and I seem to recall Allan Jakovich kicking something like 4.10

Gordon Fode kicked 5-9 v the Cats in '93

Didn't Schlongmuir kick 1.7 against the Bullies last year?

John Longmire kicked 2.8 in the last home & away game of 1990 against Collingwood at Waverley after starting the day on 96 for the season.

Bill Brittingham allegedly kicked 2.12 out of Essendon's 7.27 in the 1948 drawn GF. The number of points did seem to go up over time.

Was round 22, he went into the game sitting on 96 goals & needing 4 to bring up the century. That's the full forward's version of suffering the yips (but he did end up with the Coleman Medal).

Yep, he then went on and kicked 5 straight in his next game.

Pat Bowden hit the post either 3 or 4 times earlier this year in a game at Docklands.
