Well done. I'm glad to see this version of the list which identifies goals scored in "senior" matches beyond the club set,
usually in league and/or state rep games.

Another aspect, which admittedly is probably some time away yet as more research is completed, is a list showing the progressive record, hypothetically e.g:

12 - A.N. Other - Obscure Rock - Geology Colonial Association - 1885
25 - J Citizen - University of Life - Academs League - 1889
56 - Vic - A Thurgood - Essendon - VFA - 1891
..etc etc
256 - NSW - Trevor Sutton - Deniliquin (7 from other games) - Murray FL - 1982

Extra points for some great placeholder record creativity in the example, too :thumbsu: :D

Did you mean Dave McNamara (Essendon - VFA - 1912)? With George MacKenzie for the Narrandera Imperials player, perhaps.

Edit:- Assuming it is George MacKenzie, looking at the Narandera Argus and Riverina Advertiser from that year, he was also playing for Western Stars (in the Second Grade Football League) on Sundays. I've looked through a fair few match reports (for the senior games) and while clearly he was a star player and was scoring quite a few goals, I saw nothing to suggest he would get near 151 goals playing in those games. So I'm wondering if the goals he scored in the second grade games (for another team) were included in that tally?

You are right on both counts about the names. I don't recall how I got MacKenzie's total as my records for that area was done years ago. Perhaps I read it in an article.

Anyone have a specific ref for Purcell's performance at Jerilderie, 'cos I've recently seen an article which gives a larger total for the season, and indeed a different year for the effort altogether !

211 in H & A
11 in finals = 222
This should be Purcell's game-by-game record for 2013; though it says (at the top) 20 games for 222 goals it looks as if they have left one game out in the part down below (19 games/207 goals are shown): http://websites.sportstg.com/team_i...189835982&client=1-6191-80845-251075-18549013

It sounds like he's still kicking plenty of goals, now for Deniliquin Rovers (despite being 39-40), with eight and ten goal hauls in recent times. It's interesting to note that he scored just 46 goals (from 18 games) the year before his massive haul of 222 goals!

This should be Purcell's game-by-game record for 2013; though it says (at the top) 20 games for 222 goals it looks as if they have left one game out in the part down below (19 games/207 goals are shown): http://websites.sportstg.com/team_i...189835982&client=1-6191-80845-251075-18549013

Its missing the Mathoura game rd 13 15 goals.
 
Ron Todd is an icon of the WFC. Team of the century member and in our hall of fame. Massive footy news in general when he crossed from the pies to the gulls.

Is that Horrie Bullen's brother?
Seems highly likely given they were playing at Doncaster at the same time. This just about confirms it:

^ This matches his Wikipedia details perfectly. And this probably would be Doncaster FC's George Bullen, but is obviously a brother to the Hawthorn and Carlton player:

208- QLD - Ricki Pumpa - Eastern Swans - Mackay Australian Football League - 1991.

And he didn't win the goalkicking. Second to Peter Harris of North Mackay with 228.

Harris kicked 226 in the regular 20 round season and a goal in each of his losing two finals.
Pumpa kicked 193 in the regular 20 round season and 7 in the FSF and 8 in the Preliminary. He fractured his ankle during the week and missed the grand final.

Peter Hudson's 1979 effort consisted of 179 goals in TANFL matches (roster and finals) and 23 goals booted in Intrastate and Interstate matches.
Giving him a total of 202 goals in all football that year.
In 1978, Hudson booted 153 goals in TANFL matches (roster and finals) and 38 goals in Intrastate and Interstate matches for his 191 total goals.
In those days, the TANFL used to count all goals a TANFL player kicked in league and rep games as part of their TANFL goalkicking total for a year.

The listing for Alan Rait's 152 goals in 1930 for North Hobart would appear incorrect and was actually in the TANFL and not the STFA.
He was listed as having booted only 112 goals in the TANFL in that year according to the league's own records.
Peter Hudson broke Rait's TANFL record 46 years later in 1976, kicking 133 goals for Glenorchy.
Rait (1908-1965) was one of only two players in over 130 years of TANFL/TFL and now TSL football to boot 10 goals in a Grand Final at that level.
He performed the feat in 1932.
The late Terry Mayne (1950-1983) from Clarence, who was murdered in 1983, equalled that in Clarence's maiden TFL Premiership win in 1970.

The "Corey Millhouse" listed as kicking 147 goals for Claremont in 1989, 128 goals for Claremont in 1990 and 122 goals for Claremont in 1988 in the Southern Amateurs is actually former TFL player, Cary Millhouse.
Millhouse was a star full-forward with Glenorchy, Hobart and again with Glenorchy during the 1980s and retired from TFL football after the 1987 Grand Final.
Took two of the greatest TFL marks of all time in the 1980s and dominated the game at amateur level post TFL football.
Was also a serving police officer with Tasmania Police and most recently was on the taskforce reviewing the Lucille Butterworth 1969 disappearance.

The "Kerry Wilson" listed as kicking 130 goals in the 1989 Oatlands District Football Association season is actually Kerry Wilton, playing for Bothwell.
Kempton's Ray Daly broke that record in 1993 with 131 goals in the roster season plus another 15 goals in the finals giving him 146 for the season.
His son, Callen, is a star in the TSL for Glenorchy having gone close to winning two William Leitch Medals in his time at the Magpies, previously playing at Brighton and the old Central Hawks in the SFL.

One record not listed is Huonville Lions' Chris Joyce who booted 136 goals in the 2008 SFL Regional League season when the Lions won the flag.
Cygnet's Michael Darcy, the SFL's all time leading goalkicker, booted 122 goals for The Port in the 2003 SFL Regional League season.
Lindisfarne's Jamie Tubb also registered 120 majors for the season in the 2008 SFL Regional League.

In addition to his 179 goals in TANFL matches, you should find the extra goals which take Hudson to 209 are:

4 Tasmania vs Footscray (VFL night series)
11 TFL vs NTFA (intrastate)
3 TFL vs NWFU (intrastate)
5 Tasmania vs Victoria (interstate)
7 Tasmania vs Queensland (interstate)
0 Tasmania vs Western Australia (interstate)

He bought up his 200th goal of the season in the 1979 TANFL Grand Final, all the commentators made mention of it and the crowd applauded. He only kicked two further goals after that for the match.
He booted 6 in the Grand Final.

Hudson marks to boot his 200th for the season at 37:37
Check the closing minutes of this game, it's an absolute corker!
