29 tackles

Yep lenny needs that many in 5 games to be the leading tackler of all time in AFL footy. That would just add a little more to the legend. Will be touch and go based on his average this season. A wet weather game would help.

[SainterK]

He could do that easily IMHO

Well based on averages it wont be easy. Who knows but a wet game would certainly help.

plugger doesn't know how to do links, try this:

Interesting that Bolton and Kirk are both up there as well. All three taken in the same draft, 1998. Also that year some other pretty good tacklers: B Rawlings, J Carr, S Baker.

Once we've worked on his linking ability we can concentrate on his Maths.
1490 - 1453 = ?

plus 9 equals 29 to break the record.

so he needs 6 each game
well he is the leading player in history with 5 tackles in a game
161 times

be nice to cap that with most tackles ever

[plugger66]

20 Tackles left. Baring injury should do it now. Got to get something out of the year.

And none more memorable than the tackle against the Bulldogs player. Easton Wood I think his name is?

[SainterK]

Excellent, come on Len...easily achievable

[saintspremiers]

Ok, so Lenny will be our specialist tackling coach next year.

Thoughts?

No.

[Bluthy]

And then there is the eye-catching title for his biography: "Lenny Hayes the greatest tackle!"

[perfectionist]

He now needs 20 or 5 per game.

A bit raunchy perhaps.

I don't think it's anything really. I bet 90% of footy fans wouldn't know who holds that record now.

Id go with 99% but who cares. Probably most saints fans dont know we won out first ever game on protest or we lost our first 48 games.

Correct... it was a draw against Melbourne (remember them? ) till we protested.

And we also 'scored' the first ever fine from the then VFL... turned up late to our first game (my kinda' team)... set the foundations for what was to follow, eh?

Gotta' love those idiosyncratic Saintas!
