Who is the VFL/AFL’s all-time leading goal-kicker?

Tony Lockett is the VFL/AFL’s all-time leading goal-kicker, with 1,360 goals.

Lockett played 281 senior matches for St Kilda and the Sydney Swans between 1983 and 1999. His combination of strength, marking ability and accurate kicking made him one of the most productive full-forwards in Australian rules football history.

He surpassed Gordon Coventry’s previous career record of 1,299 goals in 1999. Lockett’s record total reached 1,360 before he retired, and it remained the benchmark for the men’s VFL/AFL competition.

Lockett also holds the competition’s single-match goal record, with 16 in 1982. His career statistics are sometimes compared with records from state leagues or women’s competitions, but this answer refers to the combined senior VFL/AFL record.
