Borrowing from a Fox Footy debate last night which mentioned both Browny 2005 and Dusty 2017, which Tiger had the hottest streak of games?
Hotter than hot: The greatest streaks of form in AFL historyApril 10, 2020 3:04pm

FOX SPORTSPlayers who dominate for an entire season are normally awarded the Brownlow Medal.
But what about those players who have a hot steak during a season and aren’t as consistent for the rest of it?
AFL 360 co-host Mark Robinson kickstarted the debate on Wednesday night ... It prompted a number of nominations across the board from the football communities.
Foxfooty.com.au has identified a number of hot steaks from the superstars across the last 30 years.
NATHAN BROWN Round 1 2005 – Round 10 2005Brown was never the same after horribly breaking his leg during Round 10 of 2005. But he was at the top of his game leading into that match against Melbourne, with 32 goals from nine games. Richmond was second on the ladder as Brown had seven Brownlow votes to his name under coach Terry Wallace. The small forward booted bags of goals against Port Adelaide and Collingwood – feats he wasn’t able to reach when he resumed playing in 2006.
DUSTIN MARTIN Round 9 2017 – Round 23 2017The year 2017 will forever be etched into the minds of Richmond supporters, with the club breaking its long premiership drought. However, it was off the back of Dustin Martin starring for the yellow and black. From Round 9 to 23, Martin amassed 28 out of a possible 42 Brownlow votes. He had nine best-on-ground performances, easily stamping his authority as the best player in the competition. A 40 disposals, 14 clearance, 12 inside 50s and two goals performance against Brisbane in Round 17 was pure gold.
