to the 800 goal mark

 

[RUNVS]

At some point this seasons, we will welcome Tom Hawkins to the 800 goal mark

Yes. He won't pass Peter McKenna but he could beat Bernie Quinlan.

 

[Lunchtime]

Yes. He won't pass Peter McKenna but he could beat Bernie Quinlan.

What was Bernie's nickname when he played? Wasn't it "Superboot"?

Interesting with Bernie, he had most of his success from age 30 yrs old and onwards. Good player. One of only two players in the history of the VFL/AFL to win both the Brownlow medal and Coleman medal (Lockett the other one)

One of the reasons why I posted this table was that we could all chat and reminisce about these players from the past as well as current ones (only Hawkins).

It just takes the pace off things because at times it gets a bit hot in the kitchen with debates etc and we should all just step back and relax...well this thread can be the perfect thread to step into and talk about these players.

The list will update and grow overtime so I'll have to take care of that which is fine.

 

[Lunchtime]

As people will notice when they scroll scross the table, I have included awards they have won - the major wins that is.

 

[Teen Wolf]

Let the record show Malcolm Blight did it first, in the interest of giving a rat's tossbag.

Thank you. Blighty was a great player.

Wrap your head around that!

 

[WilloTree]

It's such a shame this table includes VFL goals, but not WAFL/SANFL

It makes no sense but I guess it means we can all ignore Simon Beasley (867 goals), which might not be a bad thing.

 

[hawkman]

On current form he might get there in 2026

 

[Lunchtime]

9 goals to go, he'll get there this year I reckon. But C'mon mate.

He was also the first player to play 150 games at two clubs.

Actually Kelvin Templeton was the first to complete the double, with Colemans in 1978 and'79 and the Brownlow in '80.
Blighty won his Brownlow in '78 but waited until '82 for the Coleman.
Lockett the only player to win both in the same season.

 

[Lingsface]

J Cameron to be a 700 plus by career end.

Also got one playing as a midfielder, although they named him at HF in the team.

 

[Lingsface]

Already there right?

 

[Anzacpaul]

Will be interesting to see if Tex gets there. Currently 74 away.

I think he'll miss out.

Probably the most versatile player I've seen, (along with Goodes, who was more versatile as a tall midfielder who rucked and ran the flanks, whereas Pav was KPF, KPD, and could run in the middle). 700 goals as a genuine utility is freakish.

They don’t want to do that because the great Ken Farmer outshines them.
It’s a travesty he doesn’t have legend status but Dunstall does.
Kicked 100+ 11 years in a row
Kicked 81 in 17 games representing the state against the best VFL and Wafl players.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Will be interesting to see if Tex gets there. Currently 74 away.

I think he'll miss out.

Do you think this will be his last season? Looks to have slowed a bit.

Quinlan was a brilliant player

 

[Gavin Excell]

Leigh Mathews record ia amazing

 

[sobrave]

Would not have picked the big savaloy to have that many but there you go

 

[Captain_Bender]

It's a shame that 2020 was a shortened year otherwise Jack Riewoldt would have probably kicked 800+

Probably explains why he averages less then 2 goals a game.
