What's the prorated versions with full quarters?

Oliver: 15 kicks, 20 handballs, 6 marks, 12 tackles

Lyons: 19 kicks, 10 handballs, 9 marks, 11 tackles

If it was a full game Lyons surely could have collected a cheapie mark in the defensive 50

Another near miss today, Bontempelli with 18 kicks, 15 handballs, 6 marks, 9 tackles (plus 12 clearances and a couple of goals)
 
Thought you guys might enjoy this - it's the only time I've found where it's been done. That said... I haven't looked exhaustively.

The defensive triple-double.
10+ Intercepts
10+ One-percenters
10+ Rebound 50s.

I can only find one bloke that's ever been able to do it - Robbie Tarrant in Round 17, 2019
He had 14 intercepts, 11 one-percenters and 12 rebound 50 disposals.

Not that I expect it to catch on, or even spoke of ever again - just thought I'd share with you all because you seem to like weird stats as much as I do. If you find another who's done that, let me know!

Cheers
 
Most 'advanced' footy stats are secondary stats anyway. You can get points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals in basketball, they are all separate things. But you can't claim a triple double if you get 20 points and 10 rebounds and 10 of your points are free throws. Same as in footy if you kicked 10 goals you couldn't then claim 10 goals and 10 kicks as two separate categories.
 
Rebound 50s are a bit dodgy at the best of times. Not sure what you can replace them with though.
Tackles I guess is kind of a defensive stat that could fit. At least you arent trying to double up rebound 50's with kicks so its not a completely bad measure to look at for defenders.

Would be curious to see what Andrews has done in that triple. He's covered the spoils plenty of times but that many marks and rebounds is impressive

While I agree in a vacuum, 10/10/10 including tackles would be nearly impossible to reach. Defenders don't rack up tackle numbers, midfielders do.

Liam Ryan and Andrews both got 10/10 this last week but only 7 and 2 R50s respectively. I suspect the R50 will be the hardest to add because in general you usually need to be a tall defender for the first two but they'll usually give off to a quarterback-style player for the rebound, e.g. Daniel Rich. Andrews has only ever gotten up to 6 rebounds in a game.

Luke Ryan would be the next most likely after Tarrant. Both blokes excellent in the air but relied upon for their disposal as well.

Rampe could give it a shake next season as well.

With only 80 odd tackles laid for the game last night, I suspect it may be nigh impossible this year, barring an absolute slog of a wet game. Even then in the wet you'll struggle to get the mark numbers up.

Small sample size of one game, but will be interesting to see how this plays out for 2021

The Quadruple Double should be
10 Kicks
10 Handballs
10 Marks
10 Goals
Has that ever been done?
I don't think so. The problem is the handballs.

EDIT: Lethal was the only bloke I could think of who might've done it, so I looked some of his games up. I see he kicked 11 goals against the Bombers in a game in the 70s and had 41 touches. "This must be it", I thought.

Nope. He had 38 kicks and 3 handballs.
