Agree, do enjoy taking a look at the stats to see if anyone is close. Can feel one coming soon but I think it will come from an unlikely source. Lin Jong is one I could see bob up, Nick Graham is another.
Can you 'feel' next weeks lotto numbers too while you're at it? ;)
 
The correct answer is 10 kicks, 10 handballs, 10 marks and 10 tackles. The other stats are just shit.
Agreed, although I wouldn't go and say they're shit. 10 i50s, spoils, 1%ers, clearances, etc are all nice but the real and only quadruple-double should be kicks, handballs, marks, and tackles. They're the four main stats aside from goals, especially for us fantasy footballers.

I disagree. 10 inside 50's is an impressive effort. For a defender, 10 spoils.
In basketball it can be points, rebounds, assists and steals, or points, rebounds, assists and blocks.
No reason why it can't be different for defenders. How often does a defender come close to 10 tackles?

Or any combination of those 5.

technically its any 4 of 5 from points rebounds assists steals and blocks. a triple double is 3 of the 5, double double is 2 of the 5. You can quadruple double with rebounds assists steals and blocks. So arguably there can be more stats in the "afl QD" and its only if they get 4 of any of them it counts
 
I reckon you could use a combination of kicks, handballs, tackles, marks, clearances. Arguments could be made for and against i50's, r50's, 1%ers. Hitouts is a bit easy for the rucks, but hitouts to advantage would be harder to get double figures, but those figures aren't as readily available. Nobody really kicks 10 goals any more, but 10 scoring shots could be used (5.5, 7.3, 4.6, etc).
Cripps has had 10 kicks, 22 handballs, 13 tackles and 11 clearances
Also 10k, 20h, 13t and 12cl

I'd imagine there'd be others that have had double figures in four out of any of those combos, so it would make it less rare than a quadruple double in basketball, but still an amazing feat. I wonder if anyone has had 5 categories in double figures?

Cripps (sorry, just happens to be the stats page I'm looking at) has had 9 kicks, 22 handballs, 12 tackles, 9 clearances and 7 i50's. So falls short on 3 categories, but pretty close in all.

I wonder how many others have cracked 10+ in 4 out of any ten (kicks, hballs, marks, clear, 150, r50, 1%, hitouts to adv and scoring shots) categories?
 
Can't use rebound or inside 50's because they cannot be marked consistently due to players getting a kick or handball stat from it, or running it out. It's effectively a 2 for 1 deal which then dilutes the achievement

Fair enough. Not sure I agree though. No reason why you can't record both. You can have 10+ kicks without having 10+ i50's.
In basketball a put-back dunk would be recorded as both a rebound and points. If you're good enough to have 10 kicks and all of them be inside 50's, then it should count IMO. Wouldn't be too fussed to exclude though.

Stand to be corrected but wont an inside 50 always be a kick? Which is where the difference lies?

The thing is, a put-back dunk would be the equivalent of a kick goin through for a goal, or a mark becoming a disposal.

An inside/rebound 50 is the equivalent of a 2/3point shot. It tells you where it came from and that's it

You could run into 50, handball into, or kick, all 3 are inside 50s

Then there is players going backwards and forwards, whereby a passage of play could have several inside or rebound 50s
 
All good points. i50/r50 are considered important parts of the game and are a measurable statistic. If somebody has 10+ in either category, they've usually had a pretty good game.
Ablett averages 18.6 kicks per game, so he's always going to find it easy to hit 10+ in that one, but while he leads the league in ave i50's, he only averages 6.5 per game. Hurley averages 16.5 kicks per game, but only 7 r50's.
Top average for marks, is Docherty with 9.6. Top tackles is Sloane with 9.3. It's always going to be easy for some players to get 10+ in kicks or handballs or even both for some players. There are players that easily average 10+ in both.
Docherty might find it easy to get 10+ kicks, 10+ r50's and 10+ marks, but he'll struggle with tackles and handballs. Sloane will find it easy for kicks, handballs and tackles, but would find it hard for marks, etc.
1%ers is another one. You have a few averaging over 10, but most are defenders and they'll struggle with tackles and handballs.
Rockliff might be one that will go close. Tackles heaps and will find it easy to get kicks and handballs, but also quite good on inside 50's and marks are good for a mid.

If you want more people to get it just make a new thread and call it triple doubles. That way it can be 3 of any kick, handball, mark or tackle. Problem solved.

When I say they are shit I mean they are shit in this thread.
 
In basketball a quadruple double i.e accumulating 10 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and either 10 blocks or 10 steals in one game is a rare feat that has has only been done 4 times in over 50 years in the NBA

Has any AFL player managed 10 kicks,10 handballs,10 marks and 10 tackles in one game?
Dangerfield on the way tonight
