I do like the Hoff red can t shirt though, very marketable

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I hope Boak and Robbie are the ones to chair him off on Saturday as the three of them were all drafted together back in 2006 and are remarkably all still playing together today.

Reckon it will be Paddy and Jonas (maybe Lycett). Need a couple of big strong blokes.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Ultimately I'd like him to make it to the 400 club.

At the moment Hoff has played 124 consecutive games which is leading number in AFL and Jack Newnes of St Kilda is only other player over 100 on 111. Zac Tuohy was on 138 at end of last year, but his knee didn't come up for Rd 1 and he might be out for a few more.

Hoff was on a 42 consecutive game streak before he got that bullshit 1 game suspension in 2013 against Essendon at Docklands. So 176 games out of 177 suggests he is very durable.

300 could come in early 2021 unless we play in 26 games this year and next year and he doesn't miss a game. 350 would come in 2023 with a good run with injuries and a few finals. 400 would be tough.

Guess how many times Hoff says the word "obviously" in this interview!

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

I suggested at the end of 2015 when he was on 181 games that he might make it to 300, and now I'm going to be a tad disappointed if he doesn't become our second AFL 300 gamer.

I like the Michael Tuck anaology

Under Hinkley Hoff's B&F finishes
2013 5th, 2014 4th, 2015 5th, 2016 10th, 2017 10th, 2018 1st
Under Choco and Primus top 10 finishes
2010 8th, 2011 6th, 2012 7th

So he's finished top 10 in the B&F every year this decade.

I wonder how many players across the league would've done that?

AFL Record 2019 Season Guide (page 658) have left the Hoff out. Why?? Low profile didn't bother to check I suspect. Hoff is 9 out of 12 like Josh Kennedy.

And another one from Choco

And another one from Choco

Good stuff Choco. I reckon we will get another one in the series in 6 weeks time when Boak plays his 250th, provided no injuries. I'm sure the club organised Choco to do all 3 in one hit.

Has been the whipping boy for me in his early years much to my shame. I think i was just frustrated that i could see such talent and potential that he wasn't making the most of. Mark Williams said it best that westy is so durable and is a mr fix it who can play anywhere on the ground, so underated at times. I am so happy to see him play great footy not just because he is a great human being and a team man but mainly because he deserves it. Let's get the win boys this week for Westy. He has never won a milestone game and it's about time we did that for him as a club.

 

[snozulu]

Which just highlights how poor we’ve been at having players continue past 30. A largely overlooked consequence of having such an underfunded / poor fitness department for so many years (thanks SNAFL).

and Primus forcing Chad and Brogan out of the club.

CONGRATULATIONS to Justin Westhoff on his up-and-coming 250th game.

13 years in the AFL and he hasn't put on a kilo.

 

[OneGreatClub]

13 years in the AFL and he hasn't put on a kilo.

That beard would be worth a kilo

 

[Del80659]

he deserves to win a game after the siren and be mobbed

 

[TheFVK]

13 years in the AFL and he hasn't put on a kilo.

Good example that it's not in every player's interest to beef up

 

[klem22]

This guy the "HOFF" has his name already well and truly etched into Port Adelaide folklore. Absolutely no doubt whatsoever.
well done J Westoff hope every player has a ripping match to see this game as a hallmark in our history.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Congrats on 250, Hoff. Have a great game!
Very much looking forward to the next 250.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Goes off.

37 disposals and 3 goals with much improved goal kicking.
