I remember that, he was playing for Melbourne and kicks 8 against us even though he was just hobbling around in the goal square. He kicked 3 bags of 8 for Melbourne even though he could barely run most of the time and could barely walk the rest of the time. He kicks 51 goals in 16 games in 1985.


some figures from the article I posted the URL for;



-The first key forward to claim the Charles Brownlow Medal (1980).
-Two club best and fairest awards (1978 and 1980).
-Back-to-back leading goalkicker awards in the VFL (1978 and 1979).
-First player in VFL history to have separate 100-goal (1978) and Brownlow Medal (1980) seasons.
-First player from his club to top a century of goals in one season.
-Led his club goal kicking tally for five consecutive seasons (1976-1980).
-Gained interstate selection with Victoria four seasons in a row (1977-1980).
-78-game consecutive goal-scoring streak.


And these just from the disaster that was the 1978 season;



-His 118 goals from 21 appearances is the (equal) 17th highest single season tally in VFL/AFL history.
-He averaged 5.6 goals per game across season.
-Kicked 5 goals or more on 13 occasions.
-Passed Jack Collins’ club record of 84 goals (1954) in Round 14
-His 15 goals against St Kilda on 1 July remains a club record
-His 24 scoring shots (15 goals 9 behinds) remains the most shots taken by one player in a single VFL/AFL match.
