What is the most unbreakable record in the AFL?

[Hap Hapablap]

games record and goals record I reckon

 

[willoblue]

has to be oldest player, unless Dustin keeps going

 

[pacman]

Pretty much everything about Tuck - games, GFs, flags

Can't see anyone playing that many games now, with minimum draft age etc. Go Fletch Go!

Tucky also kicked 3 goals with his first 3 kicks in senior footy.

Daniel Metropolis' first 6 kicks ended up in goals.

 

[The GOAT]

Kudos to the pies though, I highly doubt anyone is coming close to winning four straight again.

See 2001-2004, Brisbane were one game away.

 

[cougar000]

Jimmy Stynes 244 consecutive games.

 

[Hot Pocket]

See 2001-2004, Brisbane were one game away.

Fairly unbalanced situation led to that run though. Maybe if another merger went ahead it could happen - and an increased cap for the new entity.

 

[cougar000]

Youngest player to debut (Claude Clough 15 years 209 days) 1900.

 

[UpForGrabs]

Coleman
-100 goals in his 1st season
-12 in his 1st game
-540 goals in 98 games / easily the 1st best 98 games by a player.

Haydn Bunton won 3 Brownlow Medals in his first 86... does that count?

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Anthony Rocca - worst 200 gamer.

Broken by Kosi a couple months ago

 

[Vdubs]

Geelong have had a few too:

Gary and Nathan Ablett
Spiro and Tony Malakellis
Damian and Tim Bourke
Jason and Cameron Mooney
Travis and Adam Varcoe (don't know if Adam counts, since he was on our rookie list. I'm sure they played a practice match together though)

Billy, Matt & Charlie Goggin
Michael & Nigel Kol

 

[Goggin Our Best]

Getting players to swap their normal jumper number to confuse the opposition

Bill Goggin - when coaching Footscray in the 1970s in a game against Essendon at Windy Hill - got some of his younger players ( Geoff Jennings was one of them) to swap jumper numbers to confuse Essendon- and confuse them he did - Footscray won by an amazing 100 points

The VFL outlawed ( wrong jumper numbers) it - after that game

 

[Mofra]

1916 easily.

Fitzroy finished last - and still won the premiership.

 

[ep2018]

I'm starting to think we wont see a team make a prelim from outside the top 4 for a while.

Haven't seen many in history already.

 

[The Swans Blog]

Yeah Melbourne would have won 6 straight from 55-60 but Collingwood beat us in the GF in 1958 to stop us from breaking the 'four in a row' record (under much tougher rules than Collingwood faced when they won four straight).

Kudos to the pies though, I highly doubt anyone is coming close to winning four straight again.

Anyone think its possible to beat Ron Barrassi's record of being player or coach in ten seperate premierships?

Sydney?

 

[Jackfrost]

Most consecutive games lost - 51 (University)

Lowest score ever - 1 point (St Kilda 1899)

Pretty hard to see someone breaking Collingwood's 4 flags in a row either.

I thought OP was asking about AFL records??

Don't even start with that ridiculous argument.

 

[Father Jack]

Don't even start with that ridiculous argument.

Yes, those 1899 scorelines are enormously relevant, aren't they?

 

[SJ]

Yes, those 1899 scorelines are enormously relevant, aren't they?

As relevant as any other.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I think Hawthorn holds the records for most behinds in a game - 41. Don't see that being broken any time soon

Sydney could give it a shake with Tippett and Franklin. Especially if Jetta goes backto pre-1st goal form.

 

[Father Jack]

As relevant as any other.

I can see why they'd be relevant to Victorians, it's their state football history, but in the context of a national competition, not so much. There's a reason why it's not called the VFL anymore.

And it has nothing to do with wiping out the history of the league.

 

[Agent93]

I think it'll be hardest to beat Lloyd's 926. Fletcher's games record will fall when Harvey plays one more season than him, then some other iron man will come along and have a stupid long career.

Lockett's 16.0 game score record will be tough to beat, although Franklin and LeCras have got close in recent seasons. Likewise Dunstall's 145 in a season.

Might be hard to score less than Freo's 13 point effort.

 

[Riccardo11]

There's a reason why it's not called the VFL anymore.

Yes there is, it's called a rebranding. The AFL is the continuation of the VFL competition, evolved into a national entity.

They are not now, nor have they ever been, separate entities. This is a stated fact (not revisionist pro-Victorian history as is often claimed) and it will never change.

Why is that such a hard concept to grasp?
