Here is a bit of a chart about the first and last goals kicked during the season.
So it is Round 1 of each season
and
the last game of that same year.
Jack Collins. Merv Hobbs and Liam Picken all kicked the last goal in a Grand Final.
What do the goals from -
1984: Jim Edmond
1997: James Cook
2008: Jarrod Harbrow
have in common?
Would anyone want to have a go at filling in the gaps? It has been started at 1945- if anyone can provide information from 1925 then great, we can start it from there.
STOP PRESS: November 22nd 2016
