[Devilhead]

Plugger kicked his overall 25th goal in his second season - 1984 Round 1 against Essendon - in that game (his 13th) he kicked 7.4 - his 25th goal was the 6th he kicked that day

His 25th point was kicked 3 rounds later in the Round 4 against Hawthorn - that day he kicked 4.2

1984 was the first year he wore 14 and he kicked his 25th goal of that season in round 5 against Geelong when he kicked 7.2

In 1984 he was 18 years old and he kicked 77.44 that year

He had kicked 96.61 before he had even turned 19

Absolute freak!!

[samuraisaint]

A player with the surname Cross wore 25 in the early 80s I think ...

He was really pissed off.

Harves played his 25th game in Rd 5 1990 loss against the Bombers (in his 3rd season) - he stats were 26 disposals (15 kicks & 11 handballs) and 1 goal

For interest sake Banger had already had three (3) 30 plus possession games before he played his 25th - in his 14th game (a loss against Carlton) he had 36 possessions and kicked 4 goals - he also had another six (6) 25 plus possession games before his 25th game

Like Plugger a freak!!
