Laurie Nash: Back in the 1934, when interstate carnivals were played in state versus state format, Laurie Nash, playing for Victoria, kicked 18 goals in a single game. Yet he did not play the full game on the forward line! At quarter time, he replaced the injured Bob Pratt at full forward, having played the first quarter at centre-half-back.

First was Round 6 1978 when St Kilda 31.18.204 defeated Melbourne 21.14.141

Second was Round 16 2001 when Essendon 27.9.171 defeated North Melbourne (Kangaroos) 25.9.159

Most goals scored by any one team was 37 by Geelong in round 7 1992. Geelong 37.17.239 defeated Brisbane Bears 11.9.75

Most goals by an individual player was 18 by Fred Fanning for Melbourne in round 19 1947.

This feat is shared with Laurie Nash, who kicked 18 goals in an official interstate match playing against Tasmania during the 1930's.
