    Most goals against the reigning Premier

    I was interested to find out after the Swans' victory against Hawthorn at Stadium Australia, what was the most goals kicked by South Melbourne/Sydney against the reigning Premier. For the record:

    25 goals against Adelaide 1999 Round 20
    24 goals against Essendon 1986 Round 16
    23 goals against Melbourne 1942 Round 5
    22 goals against Hawthorn 2009 Round 2

    Alas, for some terrible umpiring decisions, (eg the Ryan O'Keefe non goal), the Swans might have broken the record against the Hawthorn.

    Might not have been the most goals but my Old Man used to say that this was the most satisfying:
    1959
    R1 Sth Melb. 5.4 8.9 12.11 14.17 101
    Collingwood 1.4 3.8 6.13 7.18 60
    Victoria Park Crowd 40125 18-Apr-1959

    Apparently Brian McGowan and "The Chimp" killed em. Crowd incredible for that dung hole.
