All time leading behind kicker?

You'd imagine it'd be one of the higher goal kickers, as they're more likely to kick a lot of points seeing as they have more shots at goal.

In the last 20 years the leading 'behind kicker' is Chris Grant.
Followed by Alastair Lynch, David Neitz, Brad Johnson, Stewart Loewe, Matthew Richardson, Fraser Gehrig, Saverio Rocca and Paul Hudson.

Richo's kicked the most goals at the MCG, guess it would be points too.
Kevin Bartlett kicked 780 points. Interesting when you consider he kicked 778 goals...
Good stat. That is a rippa. When you take into consideration OOB on the full, KB would be well under 50% accuracy.
Leigh Matthews 722
Doug Wade 701
Gary Ablett Snr 689
Jason Dunstall 642
Bernie Quinlan 607
Tony Lockett 591
No behind stats pre-1931 so can't calculate some of the biggest goalkickers like Coventry and Titus.

Didn't you say KB kicked 780 ?
Where did you pull that from? Paul Hudson was a dead-eye dick in front of goals. That's how i remember it, i have nothing to base that on. Although if Grant had kicked the most behinds in the past 20 years(good effort considering he played CHB for at least 7 years) then where did the quote below me get his information from? Dunstall, Ablett Snr and Lockett all played in the last 20 years.
I remember Hudson being a good set shot, but he would have a ping from anywhere.

These are the all time goals and behinds for players who kicked 400 goals or more from AFL Record Season Guide 2008.

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

How about most points kicked in a game by a single player? Or worst goal-accuracy?
Shannon Byrnes... 19 goals 41 behinds career tally.
31.6% accuracy (not including OOB)
His would surely rival the worst!
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).

Sensational from Lockett.
Yeah, I agree. Would be interested to see % of shots on the run, I think Lockett would have had the most set shots out of that group. Was an absolutely fantastic kick for goal.
franklin kicked 2.11 in a colts game couple years ago
I believe Geelongs Eddie James had 5.16 in a late 19th century match
Aleen Jakovich had more than one adventurous day in front of the sticks too
Think Big Rex was under 50% accuracy for his career too, and that was oohh 300 something goals?

that was last year
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

Ablett's record is pretty damn good considering he spent only 4 of his 14 seasons as a true FF.

from those you could say lockett was the most accurate.
