That record will never be broken so long as the AFL prioritises Athleticism over skill. In Lockets era there were numerous prolific goal scorers: Dunstall, Ablett, Lloyd where 100+ a season wouldn't win you the Coleman. Today you score 70 you're a good chance of wining it by a fair margin.
Blokes like Plugger & Dunstall didn't need to move outside of forward 50. Their brute strength alone made life hard for the full back in a one on one & they were surprisingly quick on a lead. Hopefully Buddy gets to 1,000 goals next season, but it'll be the last time we ever see that happen
It's as if this moment was meant to be. When he was on 1299, missed a shot off the deck in the goal square, then dropped a sitter which would have been straight in front from about 35. Was as if fate played a part that the delivery was from his great mate Paul Kelly
Buddy is a god. But, he is 31 years old. He might get like 2 extra years of footy but I don't know if he could catch up. I mean he will get 1,000 definitely. But I doubt he could get 1360. *But who knows?* *It's Buddy.*
if you ever want to see how far the game has fallen, just watch this video. Players like this just do not exist in the current game - nothing even close.

If I remember right, one year, Plugger kicked 132 and didn't win the Coleman. Dunstall claimed it at around 139 during the regular season.
@@athlonen 1992
coaches interchanging a player after kicking a goal doesn't help either
Yeah because the quarters were 25 minutes, they literally played 5 quarters
Of all the great moments in sport on the old SCG, this tops them all. Just a bloke from ol’ Ballarat, what an absolute legend.
And that perfect technique! Leans down into it, guides the ball to his foot, laces up. A lot of modern footballers would learn a lot watching this!
now they try and hook it round their body
Was there and it was amazing!
9 goals and the 1300! What a game plugger!!!!!!
Had to vacuum the whole house to watch this game as a kid.... worth it all

The name Tony Lockett is as legendary as Don Bradman
4:38 That Moment
Best I’ve seen by a long way
What a great game, I never forget it good on ya plugger, I support Collingwood.but I know a champion when I see one.
I remember seeing this as a 7-8 year old kid on TV it was a true jumping out of a seat moment and no sleep that night to my parents dismay :)
Bruce!!🤩🤩
That’s a big ole boy there. Great convertible!
i love AFL
aNd We wErE cOnCuSsEd
Buddy's 1000th brought me here! 'CARN SWANNIES!!!!
With the modern state of set shot innacuracy, will this record ever be broken?
There is only one Tony lockett & one of many VLF/ AFL players never to win a premiership PS still one of the all time greats
Imagine being Coventry and kicking 1299 that would suck
Awesome 👍👍👍👍
Sydney held it for 20 years. And buddy is the closest now. Who knows!
Going to be a loooooooong time until this record is broken. I'd guess 50+ years. Someone will need to kick 70+ goals per year over 15-20 years
Sky Higher i don't think its ever going to happen again
Game's changed too much, full forwards don't exist, will never be broken
Sky Higher great maths 👌🏼. One love 💕
Buddy will get his 1000th next year, but he won't be Plugger's record
1360 ihe got in the end so u would need 68 goals per year for 20 years .. only plugger
To whoever decided to put a god damn ad just as he kicked the 1300th, I sincerely hope you wake up with 10,000 centipedes in your underpants tomorrow
Very cool
special
At least we've got way better quality.

*It's Buddy.*
AGUM Tulba he won’t catch him
I go for Collingwood
I was there and ran out on the oval :P
