Weโre back for Round 9 of Zero Hangerโs weekly โfive useless statsโ series.
Every week Aaron Delaporte fromย Useless AFL Statsย will take a look at the most useless statistics from the weekend, the ones you never knew you needed to know until now.
Round 9 was another that provided plenty of firsts with another five weird yet captivating and ultimately Useless Stats.
4. Jack Darling remarkable second term
Darling kicked five goals in an amazing second quarter at Optus, which is now a record at that venue. The WA record is seven by Scott Lucas in the final quarter of Round 22 v West Coast at Subiaco, where the Eagles still got home by eight points.
The V/AFL record is amazingly eight goals held by four players, with the last to do it being Kevin Templeton for Footscray in 1978. Darling also became the first player to kick 100 goals at Optus. Kennedy and Darling have now kicked 2+ goals in the same game 80 times and 3+ each 31 times.
