29 tackles

Post: # 1482906Post plugger66 »

Yep lenny needs that many in 5 games to be the leading tackler of all time in AFL footy. That would just add a little more to the legend. Will be touch and go based on his average this season. A wet weather game would help.

plugger doesn't know how to do links, try this:

http://afltables.com/afl/stats/players.html#t7

Interesting that Bolton and Kirk are both up there as well. All three taken in the same draft, 1998. Also that year some other pretty good tacklers: B Rawlings, J Carr, S Baker.

Once we've worked on his linking ability we can concentrate on his Maths.
1490 - 1453 = ?

And none more memorable than the tackle against the Bulldogs player. :D Easton Wood I think his name is?

And then there is the eye-catching title for his biography: "Lenny Hayes the greatest tackle!"

A bit raunchy perhaps.

I don't think it's anything really. I bet 90% of footy fans wouldn't know who holds that record now.

Id go with 99% but who cares. Probably most saints fans dont know we won out first ever game on protest or we lost our first 48 games.

Correct... it was a draw against Melbourne (remember them? :lol: ) till we protested.

And we also 'scored' the first ever fine from the then VFL... turned up late to our first game (my kinda' team)... set the foundations for what was to follow, eh?

Gotta' love those idiosyncratic Saintas! :lol:
