29 tackles
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.

Well based on averages it wont be easy. Who knows but a wet game would certainly help.

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.

Ok, so Lenny will be our specialist tackling coach next year.
Thoughts?

I don't think it's anything really. I bet 90% of footy fans wouldn't know who holds that record now.plugger66 wrote:20 Tackles left. Baring injury should do it now. Got to get something out of the year.

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? ) till we protested.plugger66 wrote:kosifantutti wrote:I don't think it's anything really.

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!
