Not according to the Hun;

Milestone a surprise for Swan
May 30, 2008 12:00am

SYDNEY full-forward Michael O'Loughlin celebrates his 300th game on Sunday but the clever goalkicker isn't quite ready for his swansong. The club's games record-holder is unsure what direction he will take when his contract expires at the end of this year.

"We'll see how we go, wait till the end of the year," O'Loughlin said.

"Right now, the body is feeling good.

"But I don't want to be one of those players who hangs around battling."

O'Loughlin, whose 485 career goals rank second at the Swans behind only Bob Pratt (681), has struggled with knee tendonitis for much of his career.

Having made his debut for the Swans in 1995 as a teenager from Adelaide, he is surprised he lasted so long in the Harbour City.

"I didn't realise until this morning. It's a great honour and quite a record," O'Loughlin said of the milestone.

"I always said I wouldn't be here for that long, and to play so many games at one club, and this club especially, is something special."

His former teammate and current coach Paul Roos admitted he had doubted O'Loughlin would overcome his injuries.

"I take my hat off. He's had an exceptional career given the last four years," Roos said.

"This has been the first year in five or six that he has done a pre-season and you can certainly see the benefits.

"He's in outstanding form."

O'Loughlin's 24 goals this season is 14 better than the next best Swan (Jarrad McVeigh).

Roos said O'Loughlin would make a valuable contribution to coaching if he decided to leave the field.

if its a milestone for a tiger...especially a last game for a tiger...we lose
if its a milestone for the other team...especially a last game for one of their players...we win

:confused:...even typing it it doesnt make any sense
 
I'm convinced other teams just make up milestones these days when they play us. It's a guarenteed way to get us to lie down. The one that really pains me in retrospect was the Melbourne game in rd 22 celebrating some sort of Melbourne centanary where we only had to lose by something like less than 26 points to make the eight and got absolutely belted. Farmer ran riot over Jason Tourney all bloody day (what is it with little blokes tearing us to shreds?) including that great mark.

This one doesn't count as a milestone game though IMO.
