NOTHING gets footy fans more excited than a big bag of goals.

But with the era of Lockett, Dunstall and Ablett in the rearview mirror, huge hauls of goals by a single player have become rarer and rarer in the modern game.

There have been 282 instances of 10-goal hauls in VFL/AFL history, but just seven in the past 10 seasons. In the 10 seasons between 1990 and 1999, there were 69 bags of 10 goals or more.

Take a look at your club's history of 10-goal hauls and re-watch some famous big bags.
