Best season by an individual you have seen?

[BORK]

I started watching games each week in 1993 and to this day I still rate Ablett's efforts that year to be the best individual season by a player that I have watched.

Another season I rate quite highly (not number 2 but up there) is Crawford's 1999.

What is the best season by an individual that you have seen? What are some other individual's seasons that you rate very highly?

Stynes had a good year the year he won, Kouta had a mad year one year

 

[BORK]

Yeah Kouta 2000 was always going to get a mention. Dunstall 1992 is something I would have liked to watch.

 

[WWSD]

Franklin 2008 = 113.88

could have kicked even more

 

[Watson_my_mind]

Jack Watts 2012 - led the comp in intercept marks for a few rounds, cant remember which ones though

 

[melbournemartin]

A good question and not a standard on BigFooty.

Franklin would have to be up there. He cost himself a 130+ goal season with poor kicking. Bit disappointing that he's never reached the same heights again (despite remaining a superstar).

 

[Catfish Alley]

Yeah, I agree with Ablett in '93.

 

[BORK]

Just a recap of some Ablett snr statistics from 1993. 17 games, 124 goals 60 behinds.

That is an average of 7.3 goals and 12 scoring shots per game.

 

[davesnothere]

Ablett sr in 93 was as good as it gets.

 

[half_back_flank]

Judd '06.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Ablett sr in 93 was as good as it gets.

This. I went to a few Geelong games just to watch him.

 

[Marlowe]

GAJ's 2009 & 2010 were impressive.

 

[JCore]

Rather than commenting the usual years of the modern era (Kouta 2000, Judd 2006, Ablett 09/10, Franklin 2008) figure I'll point out a season that is never really brought up.

Jonathan Brown, 2006. Played the first 10 games of the year. Was as dominant as any player in the comp at any time over the past 15 years in that short stretch. Just a shame that injury took him down.

Jonathan Brown, 2006. Played the first 10 games of the year. Was as dominant as any player in the comp at any time over the past 15 years in that short stretch. Just a shame that injury took him down.

Should be noted that he was averaging over 10 marks and 3.5 goals a game and was leading the Brownlow Medal comfortably at round 10. Massive figures for a CHF and his impact on games that year can't be understated.

My favourite season of any player in the last 10 years was Matthew Richardson 2008. Not sure if he broke the marks record for a season but he would have come close. Played rejuvenated on a wing and this was the season that almost single-handedly won over all his critics. Was great to see his last hurrah as a player, he was playing elite football week in, week out.

I'm a bit of a sucker for great CHFs dominating the comp so other than this I'd say N. Riewoldt in 2009 and 2004. Once again averaging something like 11 marks and 3 goals a game over those years and just being huge for his club in their push for a flag. Also dominated two finals in 2009 to get his team to the GF, obviously we know what happened that day but nonetheless a tour de force that year.

None of these examples show Ablett snr-like numbers but they are in a very very different era to be playing in.

That is an average of 7.3 goals and 12 scoring shots per game.

Not as spectacular, but Lockett's '91 was statistically similar with the same number of games with 127 goals and 51 behinds.

Phillip Walsh Collingwood debut 1983

Scott Hodges 1990

 

[MaddAdam]

Corey McKernan in 1996 was simply better, by a distance, than any player in the league, including Carey.

Carey's 1998 was simply unbelievable. The year of Pagan's Paddock.

 

[Gone Critical]

Peter Hudson was a sensation especially in 1970 and 71. 146 and 150 goals respectively.

His career was cut shory but when you look at ti he is statistically the greatest FF of all

1967 was his 1st season and a 21 yo, kicked 57 goals then went

1968 125 goals
1969 120 goals
1970 146 goals
1971 150 goals

1972 8 goals (didan ACL in 2nd Q of 1st game of the season, had already kicked 8 )

1977 Came back to Hawks fo 1 season and kicked 100 after essentially five season out of VFL and 31 years of age. Might of topped the 100 10 x if not injured in 72
