LOL he's nowhere near it, yet

 

[Viva la Mattner]

anyone know the stats on ian perrie?
he used to cop alot of criticism for his inaccuracy

 

[Ginnieboy]

It's from AFL Tables, and it's simply the numbers for the last 20 years/seasons, not for players who have played in the last 20 years.

I misinterpreted the numbers (was looking at the wrong column), but Paul Hudson is 12th on the list with 364 behinds.

The correct list, from 1988-present:

J Dunstall 525
M Richardson 514
G Ablett 495
W Carey 457
T Lockett 427
S Rocca 411
S Kernahan 394
M Lloyd 386
S Loewe 385
C Grant 374
D Neitz 368
P Hudson 364
A Lynch 357
P Sumich 354
B Hall 323
W Tredrea 320
T Modra 308
J Longmire 298
B Johnson 298
F Gehrig 284

I would’ve thought Boomer Harvey would’ve been on the list due to games played along with Hungry.

Oops, replying to a 2008 post.

I would have to nominate Mr Pearce our under 17s coach. He was always kicking our behinds.

 

[Angus Young]

That King fella for St Kilda is gona give it a nudge.

 

[Schauermann]

53 to go for Buddy. Easier then 314 goals...

 

[Lingsface]

Buddy has 730 behinds I think.
May end up with the most shots on goal ever?

Not a bad call from 15 years ago.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Gordon Coventry kicked 346 behinds from when they were recored in 1932, that is only 6 seasons out of 18.

His accuracy was 60% in those years, so on that basis...his career tally would be around 800 behinds during his career.

Jack Titus was at 53% in recorded seasons, and he kicked 970 goals, so kicked on average 850-60 behinds in his career, even more than Coventry.

Tony Lockett kicked 1360.591; Jason Dunstall 1254.642 who were listed. There are worse.

Kevin Bartlett 778.780
Leigh Matthews 915.722
Doug Wade 1057.701
Gary Ablett snr 1030.689

As for some current accuracy woes;
Chris Knights 6.15 (28.5%)
Shannon Byrnes 19.41 (31.7%)
Matthew Moody 14.27 (34.1%)
Brent Moloney 14.26 (35.0%)
*based on around 20 or more scoring shots

Chris Knights was a great long kick for goal. He kicked 75 goals & 69 points.

How's this? May not be a record but it's a ripper on a big day: Bill Brittingham kicking 2.11 for Essendon against underdogs Melbourne in 1948 Grand Final only for the match to be drawn and Melbourne coming out and tearing Essendon a new one the following week!

Brittingham was moved to full back the following year (no joke).

Asked after the game as to why he didn’t move him, coach Dick Reynolds said...” I didn’t want to hurt his feelings”....

John Hendrie kicked something like 2.8 in the 1976 GF (out of a score of 13.22)
Gary Sr kicked about 5.11 in my footy record in the Cats/Dogs game at KP in 1985...same game Bews won G.O.T.Y. Was 23.8 to 17.22 the Dogs way, Beasley was always an accurate set shot too.

Senior could spray them around couldn't he - watched some highlights of him just the other day matched up with St Kilda's Joffa Cunningham on a wing - kicked 4.8

 

[Breretonisahood]

Highest total behinds in a game was 41 by Hawks against St Kilda in 1977. Hudson kicked 7.4, with his typical accuracy. The rest of the team sprayed them, although the total of 25.41 wasn’t too shabby.

I remember that game like it was yesterday, as it was my first time going to the footy with my father. I'd just turned 9, and Geelong played Melbourne that day, Cats winning by 50 points over the Dees with Donohue kicking 7. But back in those days you'd have people in the crowd with transistor radios all round, listening to scores in the other games....and i recall over the afternoon...Hawks 8.20 to St.K 8.3...Hawks 10.24 to 10.3, and astonished gasps as Hawks 15.32, Hawks 19.38 were announced.

Funnily enough 4 years later Geelong kicked the 2nd most behinds of all time in another win over the Dees, kicking 22.35 in 1981. That season had two games of 30+ behinds, St.Kilda beat the Dees with a score of 16.32 earlier in the year. Essendon also scored 18.29 that year too.

Heaps of scoring shots back in that era. Nowadays 29 scoring shots is probably enough to elicit a win 99% of the time with standard accuracy of say 15.14 or thereabouts.

Love it when you don't realise you're reading an old thread and your original thought that it had taken awhile for someone to mention Lance Franklin turns out to be an incredibly early and spot on call

Arnold Briedis famously kicked 0.7 in the 1977 drawn GF from a score of 9.22). He luckily got another chance in the replay, kicked 5.3, and would probably have won the Normie.
