I'm assuming spell_check has an answer?
Darel Hart had exactly 57 possesions in a Prospect game in late 1990 when North thrashed West. He also kicked 6 goals in the match. For his efforts he got one Magarey Medal vote.
Kevin Morris said on TV on the Sunday following the match that any player who gets 30 touches in a half shouldn't be allowed back in the second half!
The Saturday after the Magarey Medal count Doug Thomas admitted that at the count he went up to the umpires who gave one vote to Hart (I think one was Mark Mackie) and told them they had absolutely no idea if they only gave one vote to Hart.
Around the same time, Chris McDermott had similar stats for Glenelg against Woodville and didn't get a vote at all.
