Do we have a forum for Statistics and Trivia?

[23.21.159]

If we do, I couldn't find it. Should we have one? Maybe name it the L2R2R board in his honour?

What prompted this ...

I am intrigued by the rarity (and some difficulty in tracking the info down) of playing 50 games for each of three different clubs.
As far as I can tell, only Glenn Coleman and Leigh Brown have done this (in researching this, I have counted the Brisbane Bears and Lions as one club).
Are there any others? I am thinking Adam Treloar and possibly Patrick Ryder may be added to the list in the near future. For Ryder this would be some feat as he played as many as 170 for Essendon alone.

Going down the list of most games overall, there aren't many three clubbers ... I think John Rantall (336) and Len Thompson (301) are the only 300-gamers who played for three clubs.

How many Games did Wallet play at Hawthorn, Richmond and the Dogs ?


I just looked 247 so he doesn't count.

Good question 23

Straight away thought Richard Osbourne, but no cigar, 2 ticks, but only 29 for Collingwood

Only 11 for us in one inglorious season. Did he walk out even before the season was over?

I think the most games for each of N clubs is ...
1. Brent Harvey 432: all for for North.
2. Bernie Quinlan 177: 177 for Footscray and 189 for Fitzroy.
3. Leigh Brown 63: 63 for Fremantle, 118 for North, 65 for the scum.
4. Richard Osborne 16: 187 for Fitzroy, 16 for Sydney, 51 for the Bulldogs, 29 for the scum (not sure about this one).
5. Dale Kickett 2: 15 for Fitzroy, 2 for WCE, 21 for the Aints, 8 for Essendon, 135 for Fremantle.

Eyeball this list... Gone cross eyed.... Raines was close 47 at Pies plus 50 tigers and bears.

That's the list I was using. But you need to be careful because it lists players who went club A - club B - club A in a way that separates the two stints at club A, so if you're not careful it looks like three when it's only two.

Brent Crosswell came within an ace of 50 games at 3 separate clubs.

98 Carlton
76 North Melbourne
48 Melbourne

Including 4 flags(2 at Blues, 2 at Roos) and 3 losing Grand Finals in a colourful career. He also missed the 1972 Grand Final while at the Blues and the 1978 Grand Final while at the Roos, so could have conceivably played in 9 Grand Finals in his first 11 seasons in the VFL.

Geoff Raines another who went very close.

134 games Richmond
47 at Collingwood
59 at Brisbane Bears
+14 at Essendon

Mick Malthouse an interesting one.

He played:

53 games for St Kilda
121 games for Richmond

and coached over 50 games at 4 separate clubs…

Footscray 135
West Coast 243
Collingwood 286
Carlton 54

Ron Barassi also played 50+ games at 2 clubs and coached over 50 games at 4 clubs but unlike Malthouse there weren’t 6 different clubs invloved as he played and coached at both Carlton and Melbourne.


I am struggling to add to your list of 3 club x 50 game players though.

PR should get there if he plays on next year, very big if though. Looks like AT will join the exclusive club to make it a trio..

 

[Berwick boy]

Was thinking Josh Caddy may have been close as well but only 24 games for Gold Coast which suprised me a bit.
71 for cats, 79 for us.

I forgot that Tricky Dicky played for the Maggots.
