During his career, George Doig kicked 10 or more goals on 14 occasions. He never missed scoring a goal in any match he played.

In 1938 the East Fremantle Football Club played a match in Sydney against the New South Wales State team. A newspaper report on the match referred to George Doig as "the Bradman of WAFL football" as he had by then achieved more than 100 goals in six consecutive seasons.

George kicked an aggregate of 1083 goals in his nine consecutive seasons from 1933 at the East Fremantle Football Club. This represents an incredible 120 goals per season and 5.46 goals per game. In 1945, after an absence from the game for three years due to the Second World War he returned to play a few more games, kicking a further 28 goals, to bring his career aggregate to 1111 goals

Daniel Sweetman (13), may not have seen George play but the youngster has written The Champ, his tribute to the "great man", who continues to capture the imagination of a new legion of East Fremantle supporters. Daniel's work was published in the Community Newspaper following George Doig's induction into the AFL Hall of Fame.

THE CHAMP - by Daniel Sweetman 13yrs

e kicked 106 goals in his very first year
The were whispers in the crowd, "the champ is here"
George Doig is part of the East Fremantle crew
He used to kick a few, actually 9 on his debut
In the bar after a hard fought win, I heard an old man say with a grin,
"The champ is here".

hey called him the Bradman of footy but that doesn't compute
Because Bradman didn't win a game off his very own boot
He walked into a room one day
No one had to say, the champ is here

here was a chap from over East named Bobby Pratt, kicked 150 goals at least in one year
150, you think that's a few, George beat him by 2
Then everyone knew, the champ is here

Then came the start of the war
For George Doig there was no more
On Saturday we'll all clap and cheer
And say at 89

THE CHAMP IS STILL HERE.
