St Kilda leading goalkickers

Dave McNamara led St Kilda's goalkicking on four separate occasions from 1906 to 1918. McNamara was nicknamed "Long Dave" due to his booming drop kicks and place kicks, including a record-setting 85-metre place kick in one game. He was an inaugural member of St Kilda's Hall of Fame and the Australian Football Hall of Fame. Dave McNamara 1908.jpg
