Ten players made the cut in 2025, and joined the 30-20-10 club.
Like the virile men they are, some of them even did it more than once!
Just this weekend, we had two players etching their names into finals folklore with massive games, collecting 30+ disposals, 20+ contested possessions, and 10+ clearances.
Here are the members of the 2025 30-20-10 club… so far.
TOM GREEN x 3
ROUND 15 – 31DISPOSALS, 22 CONTESTED POSSESSIONS, 16 CLEARANCES
ROUND 24 – 33 DISPOSALS, 23 CONTESTED POSSESSIONS, 13 CLEARANCES
FINALS WEEK 1 – 34 DISPOSALS, 20 CONTESTED POSSESSIONS, 12 CLEARANCES
Does this bloke fumble?
Continually manages to one-grab the footy and dish off in one motion, much like Clayton Oliver used to be able to do. Stands up under physical pressure, and reads the ball as well as anyone off the hands of the rucks.
He is the only player to have back-t0-back 30-20-10 games this season. A star.
CALEB SERONG x 2
ROUND 4 – 38 DISPOSALS, 24 CONTESTED POSSESSIONS, 15 CLEARANCES
FINALS WEEK 1 – 35 DISPOSALS, 21 CONTESTED POSSESSIONS, 13 CLEARANCES
Was huge this past weekend, as he and Andrew Brayshaw went head-to-head with Anderson and Rowell. Serong sneaks up on you. Looking at him, he doesn’t appear overly athletic. He doesn’t strike you as the type of player that’ll take over a game, and then, while everyone is looking at the Bont, or Cripps-types, he ends up with games like these. Monster outings, both of them.
JACK MACRAE x 2
ROUND 1 – 34 DISPOSALS, 23 CONTESTED POSSESSIONS, 12 CLEARANCES
ROUND 8 – 38 DISPOSALS, 25 CONTESTED POSSESSIONS, 14 CLEARANCES
Burst out of the blocks in 2025, causing many to question the Dogs’ decision to let him go. Macrae had a point to prove, and his early-season form was some of the best in the game.
STEELE SIDEBOTTOM x 1
ROUND 7 – 35 DISPOSALS, 22 CONTESTED POSSESSIONS, 15 CLEARANCES
The old fella displayed he still has a bit left in the tank, as he dominated this game against the Bombers on ANZAC Day.
NOAH ANDERSON x 1
ROUND 12 – 39 DISPOSALS, 22 CONTESTED POSSESSIONS, 12 CLEARANCES
The first of Anderson’s career, and likely not the last, given his role on the team. With Matt Rowell, it is like a case of ducking the left hand, and getting nailed with the right.
ZAK BUTTERS x 1
ROUND 13 – 32 DISPOSALS, 21 CONTESTED POSSESSIONS, 12 CLEARANCES
The second 30-20-10 game of Butters’ career, as he helped prop up a sputtering Port midfield. He has a year to run on his deal – imperative that this bloke is retained, long term.
BRODIE GRUNDY x 1
ROUND 21 – 39 DISPOSALS, 22 CONTESTED POSSESSIONS, 13 CLEARANCES
Remember when Errol Gulden didn’t hand off to the running Grundy in the dying stages of the game? It cost him his first 40-disposal game, and it also cost him admittance to the 40-20-10 club. He would have been the only ruck to ever do it.
GEORGE HEWETT x 1
ROUND 6 – 34 DISPOSALS, 21 CONTESTED POSSESSIONS, 12 CLEARANCES
Should win the Blues’ best and fairest this season, after being one of the few baggers to stand up for the entirety of the year.
MATT ROWELL x 1
ROUND 20 – 37 DISPOSALS, 23 CONTESTED POSSESSIONS, 15 CLEARANCES
Rowell is one I thought would feature more heavily this season, but I can definitely see him having his name on the all-time leaderboard by the end of his career. He currently has four to his name.
BAILEY SMITH x 1
ROUND 20 – 43 DISPOSALS, 23 CONTESTED POSSESSIONS, 13 CLEARANCES
Smith is the only player in 2025 to join the 40/20/10 club.
Given how tough it is to make the 30/20/10 list, his game against the Kangaroos may have to be considered as the best game by a mid this season.
And to give some perspective as to how difficult this is to accomplish, here are the all-time leaders in the 30-20-10 club
17 – CLAYTON OLVER
16 – PATRICK CRIPPS
15 – JOSH P KENNEDY
13 – PATRICK DANGERFIELD
12 – LACHIE NEALE
11 – GARY ABLETT JR, NAT FYFE
10 – BEN CUNNINGTON, TOM LIBERATORE
7 – RORY LAIRD
6 – JACK MACRAE, MATT PRIDDIS
ALL-TIME LEADERS IN THE 40-20-10 CLUB
6 – GARY ABLETT JR (not bad, Gaz… in six of his 30-20-10 games, he has gone onto have 40+)
5 – LACHIE NEALE
4 – JOSH P KENNEDY, TOM MITCHELL, CLAYTON OLIVER
And so, there’s another fancy mongrel stat for you to file away and pull out whenever the need arises… if it ever does. In the off-season, I’ll post the full lists of all these types of stats I bang on about, so you will have them all at the ready. Cheers.
As always, massive thanks to those who support this work. You can see the amount of care that goes into it. I love footy, I love writing about it, and I hope you enjoy reading it. Without you, this whole thing falls over. Sincerely… thank you – HB
