How many running bounces did Tony Lockett take over his entire AFL career?
(not even zoo could answer this one)

Wondering if spelly or one of the other Guru's on here would know.

I'd suggest ZERO. He had good recovery for a good man once the ball hit the deck but not a lot of pace (who needs it when you can just bump the other bloke into the second row anyway). I might be wrong but not too far off it.

Sorry, you wanted to hear from a Guru.

I have a recollection of him running the wing at Sydney, I guess the only wing he would ever had made it up to, and having a bounce because there was nobody home up forward. Probably around the time Eade would have been starting to implement the flood on AFL football.

Haha, good question.

Such an icon in his St Kilda days. As a young fella he was a god to me. (until he left....)

Here he is bouncing around the field but he eventually gets run down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhnunJSmsSM

Plugger took his elbow for a bounce on Cavens nose....

about 1:30 in.

He never left the 50 much, so I reckon it would be under 20 at the most. I might be a bit generous but maybe somthing like 12-13?? I think they only started counting running bounces in the last 5 years, when they ran out of stats to count.
