2. Brad’s combine to crush West Coast
Brad Hill and Brad Crouch were a strong part of the Saints' resurgence against West Coast as they both had 26 disposals combining for 52 in total. This breaks the previous record of 50 by Brad’s in the same team held by Brad Green (32) and Brad Miller (18) for Melbourne in Round 13 2004.
The Brad's will need to improve a lot to match the record by two players with the same name - in Round 5, 1991 Tony Shaw (50) and Tony Francis (30) combined for Collingwood with 80 disposals.
The Saints do, however, hold the record for most disposals by one first name for a team in the same game at 151. It is held by six Jack's in Round 16, 2017 being Billings (19), Lonie (18), Newnes (25), Sinclair (28), Steele (28) and Steven (33). And they came close again with Billings (26), Bytel (19), Higgins (15), Lonie (13), Sinclair (21) and Steele (33) having a 137 combined disposals on the weekend against West Coast.
