We've compiled a list of every major stat winner of every VFL/AFL season since 1965, culminating in the current leaderboard, which sees just two current players squeeze into.
Stat titles are a rare feat in the history of Australian Rules Football when compared to sports like the NBA, where three titles is an accomplishment held by too many players to count.
Number one on the AFL leaderboard will surprise many, but with 11 titles, he holds three more than the next best and may hold the number one ranking for many years more.
Tackling legends from the '60s, '70s, and the first half of the '80s are unfortunately undermined on the final leaderboard, with this stat only entering the equation in 1987. From here onwards, we get the full catalogue of disposals, goals, marks, hit-outs and tackles.
Modern day stats, ie; clearances, score involvements, intercepts have become the most relevant indicators of performance in today's game, but have only entered the statistical landscape in the last 30 years and thus, don't make the cut of major stats here.
This piece works in totals as opposed to averages and includes finals. In this way, we celebrate a season's longevity and accumulation in the biggest games.
Just six players on the leaderboard have topped the league in multiple categories, some in the same year.
On the contrary, a plethora of notable names don't feature at all. Here is a list of just a few legends without any statistical titles in their careers.
Current champions who still have time to make their mark include Patrick Cripps, Christian Petracca, Marcus Bontempelli and Zach Merrett, while we can expect the likes of Nick Daicos, Harry Sheezel, Zak Butters and Errol Gulden to stake their claim as early as this season.
