AFL By The Numbers: 7 Scott West
7
Scott West.
Midfielder for the Western Bulldogs.
He's been in the league a long time now. West didn't even come through the draft system. Like Koutoufides and Neitz, West was recruited through the zone system. He played his first game in 1993.
Very often over 30 possessions, he has been in the 40s a few times as well. His career-high for possessions in a game is 45. Averaged out over his career, he has a ratio of around 1 kick for every handball. In recent years his handballs totals have been increasing while his kicks numbers have decreased a bit.
Kicking goals has been something he let his teammates do, and he often set up their chances. In around 300 games, West has approximately 100 goals and 100 behinds. It was his first year in the league when he kicked the most goals, with 21.
Scott West might have been an Essendon player if he lived down the road, instead he became one of the all-time greats for the Bulldogs.
