The main interest in this game is whether McBean will kick a few goals and win the VFL's leadering goalkicker award - Frosty Miller Medal.


The days of VFL spearheads kicking large tallies of goals appear to be a thing of the past with this year's Frosty Miller Medal winner set to land on the lowest tally since Footscray's Lew Dally with 32 goals in 1900.

Richmond's Liam McBean and former Tiger Daniel Connors, now at Port Melbourne, lead the way on 35 goals, entering the final round ahead of Werribee's Ben Warren and Coburg's Lech Featherstone on 34.

Connors kicked 3 yesterday so Beany needs at least 3 today or 4 to win the VFL goalkicking outright.

[tigs2011]

Needs 4. stuff Connors.

[Phil Mrakov]

We should get Connors. He lives with Dustin anyway
