What is the most unbreakable record in the AFL?

[The GOAT]

He jointly holds that record.

Coventry kicked 9 in a winning team though

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

- Most successive wins - Geelong with 23 (1952-53 - that has proved remarkably durable)

That will be broken one day but its the most interesting record in this thread.

50 years... Im amazed that hasnt been broken.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Is there a shorter player than Brent Harvey to have played 300 games?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Fletch being watched by a grand total of 18.3 million spectators across his career - and still going

KB is next with 13.9 million

Swan is the next current player with 12.3 million

Is there a shorter player than Brent Harvey to have played 300 games?

Turns out there was one, Tony Shaw - 313 games. So, will there ever be a shorter player to play 350 games? The competition's midfielders seem to get taller each year, small forwards who can't go through the middle don't often crack 300, it's a possibility.

 

[Sttew]

He jointly holds that record.

Remind me who with? I did add "losing team"!!

 

[Partridge]

That will be broken one day but its the most interesting record in this thread.

It's actually 60 years now. Incredible. Brisbane got very close I think in 2002.

Naaah! Plugger will beat that next season the way its shaping up for the sinners.

 

[2Knights]

Most career games before a player's first goal - Rod Carter, 214 (over 50 ahead of next "best"). Hard to imagine a 10-year AFL player not playing forward ever nowadays.

 

[Lord Eddard]

Ok another Michael Tuck stat that will NEVER be broken.

He played in 302 wins!!!

 

[Tiger71]

Essendons record of being the first club to be striped of the right to participate in the finals even when they qualified will be hard to beat.

Well It is 22.. Don't we have 23 games next season? Record ready to be broken then

 

[Old_Man_James]

Fletch being watched by a grand total of 18.3 million spectators across his career - and still going

KB is next with 13.9 million

Swan is the next current player with 12.3 million

A very, very impressive record currently, although very much dependent on future average crowd size. A future Essendon or Collingwood player, playing 15 games a year at the MCG to 85K week in week out could make it happen. Would still need to play at least 300 games.

A lot of those are Feds but

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Yeah absolutely!! Thats a good find. Crazy really, back in the day (30's?) in Devonport they had a exhibition match of carlton vs collingwood. 11,500 people turned up, however the town's population was only 12,000.

Grandpa Arachnid told me about that years ago.

Said it was the easiest bit of thieving he ever did that day.

 

[CURVE]

A team winning the game but kicking 3 goals less than the opposition.

It's only happened once, back in 1944.
Richmond 14.2.86.
North Melb 11.21.87.

 

[Essendonia]

Essendons record of being the first club to be striped of the right to participate in the finals even when they qualified will be hard to beat.

Impossible, if phrased that way. Just as RFC was the first club to draft Tambling instead of Franklin. It would be difficult for another club to be the first to do something that has already occurred.

 

[dzx12]

Anthony Rock easily has him covered.


Bugger, I'm doing it wrong....

I'd say Koschitzke has them both covered. Dined out on his number 2 draft selection for years. Woefully inconsistent.

 

[dzx12]

Most career goals is unlikely to be broken given the style of play. Teams that focus on spreading goalkicking rather than depending on 1 or 2 monster forwards usually struggle.

 

[STFU Donnie]

As Fitzroy won the major premiership (as opposed to the minor premiership) Richmond won the major wooden spoon in 1916.

Nice try, but No.

The Premiers are decided at the end of the season, hence Fitzroy.

The wooden spoon is decided at the end of the H&A rounds, hence Fitzroy also.

 

[Tiger71]

Actually there are a lot of bad trades in hindsight. I believe that will be more likely then another team being refused the right to participate in the finals series. As this thread is about records to be broken, hence my example. In our history, Essendon has the record for the first club to be stricken from finals. It is not me having a go so please Essendonia stay on topic else your post may be deleted and a infraction issued.

Statistics
Love them

For the time, that was approx 3.5% of the Melbourne metropolitan area

To get that now you'd need 162750 in attendance

Probably a bigger percentage attended the 1970 grand final.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Lowest score in a game and also most Pre World war 2 records one would think.

 

[huh what?]

Anthony Rocca - worst 200 gamer.

U got no clue,the single contributing reason collingwood lost the 03 gf,once he was rubbed out the players mentally conceded losing to the lions
