Consecutive Games Record

[Ambrose Burnside]

How close is Lynchy to breaking the club's consecutive games record? I don't think he has missed a game since the 2005 Grand Final which means he has played 94 consecutive games:

2006 - 22 + 4 finals (26)

2007 - 22 + 2 finals (50)

2008 - 22 (72)

2009 - 22 (94)

Surely he is set to break the record this year if I'm correct and he hasn't missed a game in four years?

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

To my knowledge he's played every home and away game since 2005 actually, including 21 games in 2004. Whether he missed a final or not I can't recall though.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

He missed the 05 Grand Final though so his consecutive games count starts Round 1, 2006.

Amazing durability though.

yea he is on 94 straight.

Can't find the Eagles record holder though. We don't have anyone in the alltime top twenty five you need 130 straight to get on that list. So I figure he must be getting pretty close.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

139 of the last 142 games

IIRC, he's got the record now.

Jako had about 76 before he did his knee...

 

[Quinz]

Jakovich is our current record holder with 96.

Who would have thought 5 years ago that Big Q could be our first to break 100 straight. Good stuff big man.

Ah yes, the day when we unleashed the beast and he kicked a goal with his first kick in AFL

Has not changed one bit!

 

[bigburger]

I think since then every single goal Lynchy's ever kicked has been very similar to that one. Doesn't like wasting time with the set shot unless its from 60m.

Deadset

That goal could've been this year....

 

[HollyLovesWCE]

wilson first kick first goal, so heres hoping (?)

Yeah, but Staker was two from two in his debut...

(to be honest, if Wilson can play 100 games for us, I'd be stoked)

 

[Sw3Et]

Yeah, but Staker was two from two in his debut...

so was Wilson???

 

[kane249]

Metro > all

Jakovich is our current record holder with 96.

Jako's two biggest streaks were 70 games (Rd 16, 1993 - Rd 12, 1996) and 71 games (Rd 17, 1999 - Rd 9, 2002)

Lynch is probably one of our most underrated players by opposition supporters.

And yet he's played full forward in a premiership year (was bagged by others despite some big hauls and 60+ for the year), plays up the ground at CHF and in the midfield, and also backup ruckman due to Seaby being an absolute spud.

Gun player. Love him.

He's not only underrated by opposition supporters, but by Eagles supporters too.

We had a bye in Round 15 of 1993 though.

So he played 96 consecutive games from Round 15 1992 to Round 12 1996.

He definitely is underrated.

He is easily an automatic best 22 selection each week along with Cox, Kerr, Glass, Selwood, Lecras.

I really hope he has a fantastic year back at FF and proves his doubters wrong. He ony played Ruck these last 2 seasons is because he had to and he did it for the team. Anyone who kicks 60+ goals is a legitimate threat up forward.
