A QUICK look at the all-time home and away season leaders record-holders provides a reminder of Kangaroo Todd Goldstein's standing in the game.
The star ruckman racked up the most total hit-outs (937) and ball-up hit-outs (262) in his 2015 All Australian campaign, while also winning the most centre bounce hit-outs (350) two years earlier.
Among the other players with multiple all-time records are Dustin Martin, Patrick Dangerfield, Clayton Oliver, Sam Docherty, Andrew Gaff, Jason Akermanis and Nick Riewoldt.
