It's a lot for any forward in Aussie Rules, but when you're doing it from the midfield it's a sign that either you or your team is dominating the opposition at hand.
But fortunately for Jemma Neuman and the Orange Tigers on Saturday, the answer was, resoundingly both.
Neuman kicked half-a-dozen in the Tigers' 74 point minor semi-final win against the women's Cowra Blues, which means they will play the loser of next week's Giants-Bushrangers major semi-final in a fortnight's time.
The Tigers, fielding 21 players to the Blues' 11, broke away after a relatively even-handed first term where the Tigers were up by two goals at the main break, to be leading by seven goals at half-time.
While the Blues were kept goalless for the day, they will take some heart from their fight in the second half, restricting the Tigers' scoring capacity to concede five further goals despite the huge disparity in playing numbers.
It was an issue that the Blues women's co-coach, Chris Day said was simply too difficult to overcome, despite the positive intent early in the match.
"We played our best first quarter for the year, the midfield were dominant, led by Amanda Cass in the ruck," Day said.
"We had the majority of field position in the first quarter but couldn't capitalise as has been our issue for the most of the year.
"After that our girls ran out of legs a bit, with the 20 on 11 hurting us as they kept rotating from the bench."
He was also impressed by Neuman's game, noting that it was one of the best individual displays he's witnessed in the AFLCW competition.
"[She] had one of the best games I've seen, [with] six goals from the midfield. We just had no one to go with her," the co-coach, who is also president of the club, said.
Reflecting on the performance, he was philosophical, noting his team's attack on the contest was countered by the Tigers' work rate on the outside.
"Our girls kept battling all day, we were harder around the contest, and had a fair few of them looking over their shoulders, but their [the Tigers] spread just killed us," he observed.
Nevertheless, he was proud of his team's effort and said there's plenty to look forward to in the future should the squad stick together.
"Our improvement this year has been massive, I'm extremely proud of the effort the girls have put in and I am excited see them all develop further next season."
