Ok, Tim Evans is my hero and all but he isn't the all goalkicking record holder..that record has stood for 17 years and isn't going to be beaten anytime soon, so it really should be Scott Hodges...

With all due respect, I would have Bruce Schulz ahead of Tim Evans and Scott Hodges.

Tim Evans is 2nd on the all time goal kicking list, he was consistant over a long time, and IMHO opinion the best FF in my life time, statistics show that Ken Farmer was the greatest of all time, but his record for goals in one season was broken years ago (during a longer season than the '30's though).
Can someone (cue Spelly) give us an average goals per game for the great full forwards, Farmers average was 6.3 per game, as well as 5 goal average in state games.

Evans/Hodges may in retrospect be more worthy than Schulz but for interest, here is his testimonial piece from his induction as an innaugural member of the Norwood Hall of Fame.

"Bruce Schultz kicked 5.4 goals a game for Norwood. That average is the fifth highest in the history of senior mainland Australian football, and ahead of Lockett, Dunstall and Ablett. In 124 games Bruce kicked 669 goals, with his 100th goal for the 1941 season coming as early as round 13. It was to be his last. Minutes later, a knee injury put paid to Bruce’s league career in only its ninth year.

But what a career it had been for Norwood’s greatest goalscorer. Despite playing in the shadow of the North Adelaide legend Ken Farmer, who heads the all-time list with 6.3 goals a game, Bruce shone through in his own right. While that 100 goals in ‘41 was his only century year and the first by a Norwood player, Bruce consistently kicked large double-figure season tallies in tandem with rover Ron Brown.

In the footy language of the day, Bruce was a supreme aerialist. He also went on with it, kicking 10 or more goals in a match 12 times, with a best of 19 and two “posters” the week before his football demise. If there was any satisfaction in his fateful final year, Norwood went top and, despite his early finish, Bruce won the SANFL goalkicking for the only time - at around 8.5 goals a game."
