Richard Loveridge Biography

Garry Ablett snr's goal tally rises from 1030 to 1031 after an error is discovered in the historical statistics.

In Ablett's fourth League game – an 18-point win in a top-of-the-table clash with eventual grand finallist Richmond in round five, 1982 – he was credited with one goal (1.4 in fact), but footage of the game proves he actually slotted two majors.

For almost 37 years the beneficiary of the mistake was Ablett's teammate Richard Loveridge, who, the records stated, kicked three goals when his true output was two.
