200 up for Eddie

[NikkiNoo]

If all goes to plan, then this Friday night Eddie will play his 200th AFL game.

Congratulations to Eddie and I for one am very glad he swapped those huge blue baggy shorts for a slightly smaller sized ones here.

Pity he won't notch up 100 with the Crows. Though it is only 1 year more than his current contract.

Great news.

Can sense the boys may raise the bar again this week. And perhaps some more action in the Eddie Betts Pocket.

 

[Mattrox]

Great achievement by Betts. Hopefully the boys can make it a win for him.

 

[mcday]

A great achievement, especially for someone overlooked in the national draft. I just wish he'd played a few more of those 200 for us

No doubt at all the players will rise hugely for him. Can't wait!

Crows always play well in milestone games!!

Chris McDermott and Tony McGuiness suggest otherwise...

Chris McDermott and Tony McGuiness suggest otherwise...

That's why McDermott has a hatred for us

Chris McDermott's 100th and Tony McGuiness' 200th AFL game..

Excellent weekend for this game to pop up. Hopefully the boys can make it a night Eddie won't forget.

Yes congrats on Eddie for 200 AFL games --

*i really did go a bit off topic earlier.. didn't mean to make the thread a 'bad memory' thread

Wasn't that also Matthew Lloyd's first game?

 

[weekend at bernies]

Wow, seems like only yesterday I watched him play his 1st game...

Why on earth wouldn't he?

Let's say he misses 2 games per season on average (he's been extremely durable throughout his career thus far).

By the end of his current contract (the end of the 2017 season) he will be 30 years and 10 months old and will have played around 80-90 games for us (depending on whether or not we participate much in finals in this period).

I see absolutely no reason why he wouldn't play another 1-2 seasons beyond this.

Eddie playing 100 games for the AFC would be $1.65 in my market. Place your Betts.
