He now has 2,706 marks in 308 games which ranks him #2 on the all-time marks list.
This puts him exactly 200 marks behind Gary Dempsey with 2,906 marks in 328 games.
(Buckets is in third spot with 2,503 from 321 games).
Roo is averaging almost 11 marks a game this year with the greater freedom of playing midfield.
At that rate another 19 games should see him break the record.
If he plays on in 2017 the record will be his, plus he will be the first to break the 3,000 barrier.
(Note such stats were not kept before the 1970's but it is unlikely anyone pre-1970 would even be close).
Dempsey had it easy playing as a lose man across half back and able to use his height to outmark opponents.

When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

It wasn't that easy... He had some pretty big men to stand in front of... And that's when there was no
Charging
50m penalty
No chopping of the arms
No trial by video
And balls cam in slow and high
Defenders could actually defend and it took courage to stand under the footy
So StKilda has some representation at the top of various stats
Most possessions - Robert Harvey (though Brent Harvey is only ~700 behind)
Most Goals - Tony Lockett (ok his goals for us just puts him 8th)
Most Tackles - Lenny (though Prickus is closing from 154 behind)
Most Marks - soon to be Nick
Nick is already #1 for most contested marks and most marks inside 50 (but they didn't keep those stats before the 90s).
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
