And the St Kilda and Sydney Swans legend — who kicked a record 1360 goals in 281 games — recalls with few regrets the most brutal game he played.

In 1994, Lockett knocked out Sydney’s Peter Caven with a vicious elbow to the head, aimed a torp kick at a Sydney fan’s head, won the game with 11 goals, and was ultimately suspended for eight matches.

“None of us are perfect and I never claimed to be,” Lockett said this week.

In the wide-ranging interview, Lockett discusses the modern game, Lance Franklin, marriage equality, his reputation as a football bad boy, his obsession with motorbikes, Donald Trump and what his Brownlow Medal means.
