Spelly,

Rushby pointed out on snouts that Macca in the past two weeks has kicked
:arrow: 6.2 v South...South kicked a total of 5.8
:arrow: 3.1 v Norwood...Norwood kicked a total of 1.3

So, what is the longest streak of an individual outscoring the opposition team ?

My records on that is far from complete (there would be plenty more than the 126 I have), but Ian Willmott did it in consecutive rounds in 1988 - Round 8 he kicked 9.2 to West 6.7; then in Round 9, 7.1 to Port 6.4.

Pretty sure Farmer did it a couple of times but I'll have to double check.

Slowly I'm getting all of the leading goalkickers and century goalkickers - I'm back to 1948 so far. :) Immediately I thought of Farmer for this question.

So if by some miracle Macca does it next week against Port, he'd just about be the only one to do so ?

And ah, given our "success" in the Farmer era I'm tipping he would've done it against us a few times.... :oops:

Because of the high scoring that occured during his years, he probably didn't do it as many times as you think. I know he did it at least 5 times, including once against Glenelg.
