Brent Harvey- 427 games

[nicko74]

We could cheat 1,000 times more and be punished equally as harshly and still be a greater club than the Norf Tassie Minnows.

So great you couldn't even cheat properly.

Wayne Carey can breathe easy as he will remain North's greatest ever player.

Smartest bloke in the room right here

You are a wise wise man, and your input is the best.

 

[FastLane]

congrats to Boomer.
Love him or hate him- you cant deny his career has been phenomenal

Wayne Carey can breathe easy as he will remain North's greatest ever player.

When you're arguably the game's greatest player, you're probably never worried about your club legacy.

 

[nicko74]

Boomers games record will largely be meaningless.

Played a lot games - sure

But not an elite AFL Champion by any stretch of the imagination.

So he is second at NM behind one of the greatest of all time? Not a bad effort

So Tuck's record has been meaningless for 25 years eh? First I'm hearing of it.

 

[Engimal v2]

Booooooooooooooomer!

Another graphic from today's Weekend Oz re Boomer's stats. The running bounces is what will stick in my mind about Boomer when in 25 years time his record is broken.

Tuck played in a champion team which won multiple flags over many years.

Boomer still stands in his considerable shadow.

So what you're saying is that you're offended. Thanks for clearing that up.

 

[ColinWood]

Congratulations Boomer, an incredible achievement & well deserved. Still in great form.

 

[ozish]

Would love to win tonight, but with all the best to Boomer and win or lose would love to see him BOG tonight.

What a great achievement - superlatives fail to describe it.

 

[Astro_]

Congrats, great effort.

And still providing a massive contribution, one of their better players.

Win or lose tonight it doesn't impact the contribution he has made over his career

 

[ColinWood]

What a team it would have been, average crowd of 336,000 (all top blokes) watching another team of top blokes dominate.

But best to stay off the roads when the top blokes drive home yeah?

 

[Great8]

Marvellous achievement and one that may never be beaten. Still easily one of their top half a dozen players and isn't limping to the line

 

[ColinWood]

To give Tuck a bit more praise, 90 odd games in the ressies before he broke into that side is to be admired.

Quite an inspirational stat for players currently slogging it out in the ressies

Geez, did he start in the ressies at 13 yo?

 

[ColinWood]

Nah I don't see that at all. What part of what Harvey is doing leads you that conclusion ?

I am shocked by the effort and depth of criticism this act us drawing - admittedly only by a few posters, but pretty revealing of a one-dimensional perspective.

Tuck and Boomer connected significantly recently when Boomer (& Dustin Fletcher ) reached the 400 club. They share a very rare honour which must be earned, never bestowed.

The jumper thing is a mark of respect. Tuck's comments about Boomers milestone #posted earlier) are complimentary and suggest a mutual respect not a man who is imagining slights that don't exist.

People who are confident in their achievements and self-assured - like Tuck has every right to be - tend to be gracious not petty. Boomer is behaving unselfishly through this action, making it about more than himself.
But some people are too small-minded to see it which is a shame. I guess tall poppy syndrome alive and well...

Too bad Archer couldn't care less. Couldn't even rock up to the ch 7 interview on time tonight

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Well done boomer!!! You might be beating tuckys record but massive respect for still being able to be one of norths best players at his age.

 

[Captivating]

I am so happy to see the Hawks lose a record.

 

[wally funk]

Great effort over two decades, old Boomer. Curious, though, why the entire team has '427' on their guernseys rather than just the man himself.

 

[sauce_head]

Title... Plus Two hard ball gets and numerous cheap shots when tagged.

 

[Engimal v2]

Boomer! An absolute champion and now the record holder of the VFL/AFL in terms of games played.

 

[darklake]

No 'Duck' in the rooms to congratulate him.
