Fletcher Set To Break Another Record

[boncer34]

Saw this on BigFooty and thought I'd put it here.
First off can I just say hats off to the bloke that sat down and worked this out. Who says you need a life when you can do stuff like this?

That my fellow BT's is the list of the most watched VFL/AFL footballers of all time going by crowd numbers. As you can see Fletch is a mere 67,000 off being the number one player. Having 50K+ watching you play footy each week, not a bad life eh?

[Boyler_Room]

According to that list he's already the most watched player in the H&A season... while Bartlett has the jump in finals footy. Don't think he'll go past him this week, although had McVeigh been playing it might well have been a good chance. Next week should be the game Fletcher becomes the most watched footballer in history.

Bruce McAveney would be all over something as meaningless as this, but C7 don't have one of our games until round 21. Even then i'd still be willing to bet that he'll pull it out during the call of our round 21 match vs Bulldogs.

[Ossie]

That is a sensational stat. I love a good pointless stat.
You have to be careful though, 70% of all statistics are made up.
38% of people know that.

[Sartorius]

I was reading that thread the other day and the original poster comes back to say that Fletch has already broken the record cos he hadn't added the last few weeks.

Go Fletch! Great stat

[tom9779]

I;m suprised it takes until 4th for a collingwood player to be mentioned.

I mean basically you have to play for Essendon/Carlton/Collingwood/Richmond to get a gig.

How are Lloyd and Mercuri's averages!!!!!

I'm predicting this list will be flooded with more and more collingwood players in years to come, now they play out of the MCG.

[hop]

FFS - some people need a job!

Still it did highlight for me is that Harvey will overtake Madden as 3rd on the all time list of games played. Well done =D> - you prick!

Simon has always been my greatest (along with Hirdy) - even named my dog after him.

[nathanskinner]

i reckon its a very interesting stat. Good to see the list full of essendon players.

[boncer34]

Typical Essendon player.

[Ossie]

So what happened to him today?

[Boyler_Room]

Well it'll have to be another 2 matches now...
