What is the most unbreakable record in the AFL?

[Procrastinator35]

Well, sort of...Melbourne lost to Footscray in the '61 preliminary final, but they had lost to Hawthorn the week before, yes.

My old man was at that 1990 final (he's a Tigers man but hey, he was pretty starved of finals action at the time). Said that Melbourne's third quarter was superlative and that the Hawks shot themselves in the foot in the last quarter with some terrible misses.

Yep....Spot on there on both counts Doss....I too went in 1990 & in the final quarter when we were coming home like a steam train....The normally reliable Chris Langford kicked out from a behind. With 5 minutes left & only 10 points behind, He preceded to put a 25 metre pass down the throat of a Demons player straight in front.....Game Over....The Look on Chris Mew's face towards Langers Was Priceless!

..Goals in one season: Bob Pratt, Peter Hudson 150..

Will never be broken unless they amend the present day ridiculous interpretation of the-in-the-back rule

 

[Grongey]

Just thought of another one.

Garry Ablett Jnr - most Brownlow Medal votes ever - which I expect by the time he retires.

They still have another 50 odd years before they beat St Kilda.

 

[treefingers]

Most games before first goal: Rod Carter, 214
Most consecutive games kicking 9+ goals - John Coleman, 6 games in a row
Least handballs in a game - 8, South Melbourne V Hawthorn 1972

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

No team in the next 100 years will overtake Collingwood as the holder of most number of runners-up (26) - next closest is Essendon with 14.

I prefer to use the phrase "lost the most grand finals"

 

[huh what?]

It's a BF meme.

Yeah I think josh Fraser might have Rocca covered tho... His last 80 games anyway

The saints waiting 69 years for their first flag will take some beating...

Footscray, Hawthorn, North Melbourne, St Kilda all well over Freo's current 20 year drought.

Nice try though, I don't think anyone will ever be more obsessive than you in BF history!

 

[38Rockliff38]

Only player to play 300 games, win a brownlow, win a norm smith, multiple all Australian, and 3 premierships.

Simon Black is the only player to ever achieve this, and I think it will be a very long time before someone else does. Unless Gazza manages to win another premiership, but I doubt it.

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Leigh Matthews has 20 and 3'd 5 times. The next best is 0.

Nathan Brown board.

Jimmy Bartel's on 249 games, I wouldn't count him out just yet.

 

[Deefolt]

goals in one game, by fred fanning, and goals in career neither will be beat

Jesus Dardy - we're on a 19 year drought (with some chance of breaking it there!)

Well, the drought will be in its 20th year next season

 

[DrEvil]

Most number of wins for a ninth place team: Essendon 14.

Five first round draft picks requesting trades in one off-season.

Who was that?

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Jimmy Bartel's on 249 games, I wouldn't count him out just yet.

Yeah, he turns 30 in December and should be on 270-odd this time next year. He obviously needs three more seasons and not to get any years practically wiped out due to injury and he'd be up around the 300 mark when he's 32, going on 33. He's played 20+ games every year for the last nine and he's played more than 22 games in seven of those.

The only issue is Geelong players seem to be cursed, with regards to the 300 game milestone. In the past 17 years, we've had seven players who have retired or left the club with 250-299 games, without anyone cracking 300 in over 30 years. And unless Enright's got two more years in him, it's going to be eight.

Judd's not without a chance either; only needs 41 games. With his recent history though, he'd be no certainty to play 41 in two years.

As others have said, thats not even close to an unbeatable record. Bartel is already well on his way, and Gold Coast could easily win a flag in the next three/four years for Ablett to slot in as well. Heck, if Steve Johnson can manage to play a full season for a change, he could almost be up there as well.

 

[Old_Man_James]

Oldest first gamer... What was Podsiadly? 29 or something.

Probably doesn't make the top 40 - Charlie Hardy 34 Years 99days oldest

Infact of current players Brett Goodes debut was later than Podsiadly as well.
