Records that may never be broken

Brisbane will forever be the reigning nab cup winners, that I guarantee

Freo kicked only 1.7 (13) in a match against Adelaide in 2009, so really low scoring is still around. Don't know what conditions that game was played in.

That's the lowest score in about 30 years, and there were still 8 scoring shots.

Conditions were fine, however freo's injury list was huge for that game. From what I remember Pav, Sandi, McPharlin, Mundy all missed. Ryan Murphy kicked the only dockers goal and was dropped for the next game.

 

[Scroater]

100 goals in a game by Campbells Creek in the Maryborugh league.

No, please nooooooooooo

100 goals in a game by Campbells Creek in the Maryborugh league.

Haha, word is that the last quarter went for about 45 minutes and they needed car headlights around the boundary to continue on, pretty much blew the siren as soon as they kicked the 100th goal

Gordon Coventry being the first man to kick 100 goals in a season in the VFL / AFL. Now that will never be beaten.

 

[Foreign Legion]

One thing that should be noted about 150 goals in a season - Bob Pratt did it in 21 games - Hudson 24.

Pratt had 104 goals at the end of round 13 - Hudson had 72.

Note: Pratt had 127 after 15 rounds.

Michael Tuck 426 games.

Can't see Fletcher playing a full season or Harvey playing on next year. I reckon 300 games will become a rarer achievement.

This will be beaten due to medical advancements and longevity

This will be beaten due to medical advancements and longevity

Did you see the pace and intensity of some of the Rd 1 games?

 

[docko911]

No team will ever make finals from 3-10 again.

I'm talking 30-50 years from now

 

[Scotland]

No team will ever make finals from 3-10 again.

I am 100% confident this will occur in 2015.

 

[LeverPuller]

What's the longest consecutive losses at a venue? Because the Melbourne run at Etihad would surely go close to any record...

 

[Scotland]

I'm talking 30-50 years from now

We'll all be playing soccer by then.

For China.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

1 loss for the season

 

[South of the Yarra]

1 loss for the season

Old news!!!!! Old record

 

[Sydney Bloods]

There might me 20 weeks of torrential rain leading up to a game, the grounds aren't that advanced to cope... Players simply can't move in the mud, let a lone dispose of the ball. Somehow the AFL doesn't call off the game, neither team can score, 0-0 draw.

It's a possibility

if there's 20 weeks of torrential rain, i think the biggest issue would be with most of the dams bursting and entire cities being flooded.

 

[AFDogs]

A lot of withstanding AFL records will not be broken. The game has changed massively. A 4 goal-haul today is as good as an 8 bag was 15 years ago.

 

[Kappa]

Off the top of my head...

- The 150 goal seasons by Peter Hudson & Bob Pratt. Can't see with the structures of the modern game anyone getting close to this.

- 18 goals in a match by Fred Fanning in 1947. This is perhaps a little more breakable than the previous, but it would take a really off day by opposition defenders and a really on day by the goal kicker.

Any others likely to last the test of time?

Interested to know of any state/local/junior or International leagues records as well.

Didn't Buddy get 13 a few years ago? Those records will be lucky to last 100 years let alone eternity.

 

[SizeMatters]

Collingwood's 4 premierships in a row? Especially now with 18 teams.

I reckon it would be a lot easier now than before in the AFL era. Just look at the Hawks who can use FA to just bolster their list every year if there was no free trade they wouldn't be as strong as they are now.

 

[South of the Yarra]

Peter McKenna finishing second in the goalkicking booting 143 goals in 1970 and then second in 1971 booting 134 goals. Second in the race for the Coleman booting 143 and 134 two years in a row will take some beating.

 

[FootyJunkie]

i used to think Geelong's 239 was safe given that the game has shorten by 7 minutes on average when they made the move from 25 min quarters to 20 min

Geelong almost tied their own record against Melbourne a few years back

 

[wikinick257]

99.94

Essendon went 21-1 in 2000 and won all 3 finals, Geelong 21-1 in 2008 and 2-1 in the finals. But how about a team going 22-0 in the regular season and 3-0 in the finals. Collingwood is the only team to go undefeated in the minor round 18-0, but did lose 1 final before recovering to win a premiership.
