Jansen debut will be a milestone for the history of the AFL

I am really pumped to see him play, don't want to jinx anything though.

2015 "GEELONG MILESTONES
Corey Enright, 300 gamesRegardless of whether Enright, who sits on 288 games in the lead in to the season, reaches the magical milestone, he will go down as a champion in the history of the Geelong Football Club. This is likely to be the 33-year-old's last campaign, closing the book on a decorated 15-year career.

Tom Hawkins, 150 gamesAfter a slow start to his career, the power forward has hit his straps after coming of age in Geelong's 2011 premiership triumph. Hawkins, who has kicked 286 goals in 147 games, won't have to wait long to notch up the milestone which is due to come in round three against Gold Coast at Simonds Stadium.

Tom Lonergan, 150 gamesWhen he suffered the serious kidney injury in 2006, there were not just fears his career may be over but potentially his life. Lonergan, now 30, fought back to become a premiership player in 2011. He is held in the highest esteem at the Cattery and will bring up his 150th game milestone in round five against Richmond at the MCG.

Joel Selwood, 200 gamesThe Geelong skipper is one of the most respected players in the competition, so his 200th game milestone will reflect the impact he has had on the competition in his young, but already distinguished, career. Selwood sits on 184 games so if he plays every match he will celebrate the milestone against Greater Western Sydney at Spotless Stadium in round 17.

Chris Scott, 100 gamesThe Cats coach had a charmed start to his AFL coaching career, winning the 2011 premiership in his first season in charge. Geelong has made the finals every year since Scott took over from Mark Thompson after the 2010 season. He has a win-loss record of 75 per cent. - Ben Guthrie"

I know there is data somewhere, but I wonder if any player in the modern game has notched up 184 games quicker than our Joel? Having played finals in every year of his career has helped him get there quicker.

I'm just so happy that Lonners will be playing his 150th in the hoops and not up the road in the kennels.

Better not mention Chris Scott's 75% success rate- not too bad for a first time senior coach who's not rated at all by some here on BF.

Good luck to all the milestone men over the coming season.

Now if Selwood, Boris + Tomahawk could just get moving on having babies!

Not sure, Sttew- but he was only the 5th fastest to the 100.
He holds the Cats' club record though- I'll try and look up the 200 target that he's chasing. I don't think it'll be as easy to find a 184 game target

Rumour has it that at least one of aforementioned was doing his bit for many years across the Surf Coast & Bellerine, so who knows....

 

[WaxiesDargle]

Selwood, 26 y/o and 200 games. And to think AFL players are usually in their peak around 26-28. Scary. With everything he's achieved already, is it possible we are only just starting to see the best of him?

Fastest player to reach 200 AFL/VFL games was Wayne Schimmelbusch, 8 years and 11 days after debut, with Adam Goodes in 2nd place with 8 years and 102 days. That info was from a 2007 article but there doesn't seem to be anything more recent:

Selwood's debut was R1 (April 1st) 2007, so I think that makes it 8 years and 139 days to that 200 game milestone if he doesn't miss a game.
Damn that dirty Guerra idiot!

It's actually a ridiculous figure.

You wouldn't think 184 in 8 years was possible.

23 games a season!

It's his 21st year this year.

Menzel and Vardy to get to 30 games rd 12 to go with Enrights 300.

The first two will be this year!
