G'Day Chikka thought you might be interested in this story. I was listening to SEN from Melbourne on Monday night and this story came up.
Unbelievable but not the record.
TRUE to his word, four-time Central District premiership player Quinton Graham reached the magical 100-goals for Gumeracha on Saturday.
He kicked 40.15 - and one out on the full - against Hills Football League battler Callington to send officials scurrying to the record books.
It came one week after he threatened to do so when interviewed on stage at Central District's 2000 premiership reunion.
``I knew I was close to 100 and said I was hoping to kick 30,'' he said.
``It's funny because I got 10 more.''
The 30-year-old was on 62 goals heading into the game and had 14 at half-time.
He then followed it with bags of 13.10 and 13.3 in the final two quarters as Gumeracha won 75.37 (487) to 0.0.
``I got 38 and that was my hundred then I went into the ruck,'' Graham said.
``Then they came on and said `you're equal with the record, go back to full forward'.''
He said kicking 40 in a day meant more than kicking 100 in the whole season.
The record is by Doug Ensor who kick 60 out of the team score of 69 goals. That season he kicked 208 for Noble Park - He was 14 years old in 1969.
Saw this on footy show last night.In the same game,his team mate req'd 15 to pass the 100 mark for season.He kicked 18 and his team are only 4th on the ladder
