I realise it has been discussed before but I am watching rd 22 1999 and guy McKenna called for a head count,
is this the last time it has been done on the AFL?
Sydney were fined for having a 19th man on the field But was a head count actually done?>

the commentators were convinced in this 1999 game that Mckenna was being beaten so well by the Wakelins he thought there were more out there
Last head count?

From what I can kind of recall, after it happened, it was said to have only happened around half a dozen times in VFL/AFL history.

Round 12 1924, another dirty day against Carlscum. One of the all time great acts of captaincy. The late, great Wels Eicke called for a head count.HSVKing wrote:Was definitely the last time it has happened in the VFL/AFL.saintbrat wrote:I realise it has been discussed before but I am watching rd 22 1999 and guy McKenna called for a head count,

After lining all the opposing players up and conducting the count, the umpire went up to Wels to inform him that both sides had the regualtion 18 players on the field.
Wels replied, "You forgot to count yourself," turned and walked away.
Now those were the days...

There have been only three head counts, all unsuccessful, in the history of the VFL/AFL:
by St Kilda captain Wels Eicke against Carlton Round 12, 1924;
by Essendon captain Jack Clarke against North Melbourne in Round 17, 1958;
by West Coast captain Guy McKenna against St Kilda in Round 22, 1999.[8]
