Robbieando,
Here is some food for thought.
98 Games, 462 Goals, 3 times he kicked the magic 100 Goals in a season (1995, 1996 & 1998) for the Swans, & that single behind that kicked right on the 50m line (probably more like 45m) at the end of the Preliminary Final in 1996 will always be remembered as the kick that actually put the Sydney Swans into their first Grand Final since 1945. What should be also remembered, is that his kick got the distance even though he was carrying a major Groin issue into the game.
Whatever you say, he is definitely up there in calculations with statistics like that.
And it should be remembered, that Laurie Nash, who we all agree is right up there in calculations for Top 5 player, only played 99 matches also..... So to say that Lockett didn't spend enough time at the club, might be incorrect in its assumption when compared to Laurie Nash.
