Could a team ever be so poor that no player wins a single Brownlow vote for an entire season?
Even GWS players got some votes in 2012 and 2013.

Dustin Fletcher should have his own version of this thread.
I doubt any player will ever play in the same team with a father and then his son again. Fletcher's father/son record is incredible. Played with both Watsons and against a handful of other combinations.

I actually think that would be possible and wonder if the AFL/VFL has ever had a father-son combo in the same game?
(I'm pretty sure it happened in the NBL, during Daryl McDonald's last season, I believe Daryl McDonald Jr was 12th man on the team and got some court time)
As for all of these playing records, I'm only 30, and I've already seen too many times people come close or break what I thought were impossible records, that I know that no record is truly untouchable. (for example - Wilt's 100pts in the NBA has always seemed impossible... however Kobe scoring 81, after only 26 in the first half, after having scored 62 in just 32 minutes game time and sitting out the 4th quarter a month earlier... shows it isn't that far out of the range... or Messi's breaking Muller's 40 year record by scoring 91 goals in a season: wtf, most teams usually don't get that many).
One record I think won't be broken for a very long time (until we either scrap safety regulations, or start building super-stadiums, is the 121,000 attendance to the 1970 GF)

Jarrad Grant's record number of consecutive years in the AFL system without putting on any muscle?
#youaretheopofcourseyouregoingtobeinbeforeyounonger
Or the preseason GF record of 75,533 set in 1993 between the Scum and Richmond at Waverley, for reference last years NAB GF crowd was less than 24,884.

Hawthorn defeated St Kilda 25.41.191 to 16.7.103 in 1977. Comfortably the most behinds a single team has ever kicked in a match. Nobody has kicked more than 27 behinds in the last 18 years or so. Doubt that record will ever be broken.

I would be amazed to see Geelong's record score of 37.17.239 broken as well. Geelong themselves got very close against Melbourne in 2011, but to actually see it broken, I doubt it will happen.
Melbourne's tally of 16 votes in 2013 is a new record low.

Fred Goldsmith will remain the only specialist fullback to ever win a Brownlow medal.
Therefore a fullback will probably never win the MVP award.
3 ruckmen to be picked in the All Australian team.

I think this will be the one to stand out for all time. Everytime I discuss this with friends I have to laugh. It just seems like ridiculous numbers but it happened.
Strange also that a fairly recent player with these numbers never really had anything to do with footy in an official capacity after he retired.
Trying to find out who played the least games/seasons after winning a Brownlow. Maybe Woewodin? Can anyone confirm this?

Graham Moss, 1976. Was to never play another game in the VFL/AFL after winning the Brownlow.

Robbie Flower was another who couldn't gain weight/muscle. He was a gun, though.

I actually see that record getting broken within the next ten years. The speed of the game is far superior to what it was in 1992, it only takes an innovative coach to launch an all-out attack against a weak opponent and the record will go. We should've gone close last year against GWS when we kicked 28.25(193). Kick straight (say 38.15(243)) and the record is ours. There were some horrific missed shots that day.
The one thing holding teams back is the fact that the quarters in 1992 were five minutes longer than what they are now.

The carpet didn't match the drapes.
The lowest score in the game is by far the one that will never be broken. The others will be tough, but there are some that are possible. Franklin kicked 13 goals so I'd say the most goals in a game record isn't out of the question one day.
