? I didn't mention anything about the WAFL.

Don't know exactly how many disposals Barry Cable had in 1966 (certainly 20+) to go along with his 6 goals.

I think along with Martin is the only guy to have 20 + and 2 + in 3 grand finals. That was just his VFL also won 3 Simpson Medals in a row in the wafl 66-68 I think the equivalent of a Norm Smith, 3 Sandovers as well.

It was 5k.

Having dealt with Greg personally, I am fairly confident he would have demanded more than what he has publicly said.

You could buy a house and land package for around 30k back in the mid 80's. 5k-10k was a considerable amount. The VFL was thriving but certainly not thriving as it would in the 90's and beyond.

Only quoting the figure he stated. I think it was on open mike.

Briedis - 5.14 in consecutive GFs. Certainly knew how to get his hands on it.

Diesel had 31 and 5 in 1995…

I watched that on fox footy recently the Geelong players were smashing him, obviously the umpires hated Williams and the Geelong players knew they could do everything up to taking a steel chair from the crowd and smashing Williams over the head WWE style before he would get a free kick

It was a little uncomfortable viewing knowing the neurological problems Williams apparently has now

Dusty had 29 and 2.2 in 2017.
He also had 22 and 4.0 in 2019
and 21 and 4.0 in 2020.

Not 30 but a fair crack at some well rounded GF’s

2 and 3 goals respectively in 86 and 87

He was a colossus. It's funny, for a guy who was never renown as a great kick, he certainly capitalized when it mattered most.

I met him a while ago and was taken aback by his height. Much taller than what he appeared. Ruckman size in stature. Would have been a nightmare match-up for any top line defender.

Aker won that norm Smith. He and Houli should've without doubt won one each.
Any other day I think was a definite, Blacks was close to the best I’ve seen in a grand final though he was huge that day.
He had the most inside 50s -7
Most Tackles-9
Most contested possesions- 25 (next best was 18 and 13)
39 possesions most in a grand final and a goal.

Has never got 30 disposals in any finals he has played …doesn’t belong in the thread :)

Not an elite midfielder:)
True, he never got to 30 possessions, but why are the others being considered when they didn’t get to 3 Norm Smi… wait…what?🙂
