I wasn't far wrong, there's some deplorable numbers for club leading goal kickers:
Adel: Jenkins 46 (2.09)
Bris: Hipwood 37 (1.68)
Carl: C. Curnow 34 (1.7)
Coll: Hoskin-Elliott 39 (1.77)
Ess: Stringer 30 (1.5)
Frem: Walters 22 (1.22)
Geel: Hawkins 58 (2.9)

Port: R.Gray 36 (1.71)
Rich: Riewoldt 65 (2.95)
St.K: Gresham 35 (1.59)
Syd: Franklin 57 (3.17)
WCE: Darling 42 (2.33)
WB: Gowers 26 (1.3)


So Gray gets less goals than Hipwood and makes the AA squad LOL.

Wonder how long Hipwood spends on the ball?

The more I look into this the more absurd this comment gets!

A bit harsh there as Port's defensive game seen the whole team lucky to kick 46 for the season, at least the Cows have a forward structure.

The number of goals kicked isn't relevant.

its how mean, tough and intimidating you look while doing it that counts.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-08-29/l ... st-fixture

Collingwood has been unlucky on the injury front this year, but has benefited from a favourable fixture to finish in the top four. The Magpies played only eight matches against the rest of the top eight, with their only double-up coming against minor premiers Richmond. But the Pies didn't have the easiest draw. That honour belongs to Melbourne, who also played only eight of its 22 matches against fellow top-eight sides. Aside from eighth-placed Geelong, who they will face in the first week of finals, the Demons played every other finals-bound side just once. They finished with a 2-6 record against the top eight, but in hopeful signs for Demons fans, those two wins have come over the last two weeks against West Coast and GWS. The Tigers also benefited from a surprisingly easy fixture, playing just nine matches against fellow top-eight sides.

Conversely, St Kilda was the only club who faced a top-eight side 12 times, which included six match-ups with top four sides. Of the top-eight sides, Sydney and Geelong had the most difficult draw with 11 games against the other finalists. The Swans managed eight wins, while the Cats had five. Essendon had the competition-most seven matches against top-four sides, which ultimately hurt its finals chances. From those seven, the Bombers lost to the Tigers, Magpies and Hawks twice, but managed a win over the Eagles in round 14.

St Kilda President baulked when questioned about Richardson's role as the senior coach for 2019.

ST KILDA’S new president Andrew Bassat has been unwilling to confirm that Alan Richardson will be coaching the Saints in 2019.

Bassat will replace current CEO Peter Summers in December and was non-committal on the future of Richardson, despite the coach being contracted until 2020
