The best AFL goal returns of the last decade

2019-12-11T14:41+11:00

Who has kicked the most bags of goals in the last 10 years of footy?

Most of us remember Lance Franklin’s massive haul of 13.4 against North Melbourne in 2012 which prompted Anthony Hudson’s now famous call of “Thirteen, thirrrrrteeeeen, can you believe it?”.

Buddy’s was the biggest bag since Mark LeCras helped himself to 12 against Essendon two seasons prior. This pair of bags were two of just four 11-plus returns for the decade.

The Sydney star and Hawthorn favourite has a handful of the best individual goal performances since 2010 alongside West Coast’s Josh Kennedy on five and ahead of Richmond’s Jack Riewoldt with four.
