Congrats to Adam "Sunday" McKeown! Fantastic player for a long time. 100 goals in the NPL Tasmania is no small feat.
And just goes to show how good Brayden Mann is when he's been out of Tasmania for a couple years now, and he's still the only other person to score over 100 goals.
Anyone know his goals record total? Would be hard to catch, but Sunday might still be a chance if he plays for a couple more seasons.
Mann 157
McKeown 100
Morton 81
Sanders 78
Lezynski 66
Pretty good effort from these guys especially a couple of them have only played 3 or 4 season in the NPL
That's actually crazy. Did not know that Mann was so far in front! He'd probably have 200 if he hadn't gone to Victoria.
We have definatly had some very good strikers since 2013 when the league started. Would of been nice to see what Brayden could of got to if he stayed in the state, would of also been nice to see Sanders for more than 3 seasons at the end of his career
Agreed, but it's always good seeing players testing themselves at a higher level too. Both great players. If you're talking about best striker in Tasmania, over the last 20 years, can't go past Mann for me.

Sorry about the messy format.
Agree both have been great, can't judge them head to head though from watching them from the NPL last few years. Fair bit of age gap as Braydyn is in his peak now where as Sanders dominated Victoria in his peak and is Green Gully' s highest ever goalscorer which is a tremendous effort by a Tasmanian at one of the biggest and most successful clubs in Victorian history. Will be interesting to see if Brayden can accomplish on the Mainland.
Ben Harbinson is another who dominated the early 2000's before winning championships in Victoria aswell was a great player
Completely agree about Sanders, and it is very difficult to compare them. I'm just saying on what I've seen in Tasmania, Mann has been my personal favourite and if I was wanting a striker in my side, I'd pick him over anyone in the state.
