Milestones for 2013

[EagleMan87]

Seeing as it's the offseason, I figured I'd trot this out.

Obviously not all of the players here will make it. This is all barring injury, the teams needs, form and how far into the finals the boys can go.

50 games
Ash Smith - 31 games
Ashton Hams - 31 games
Brad Sheppard - 32 games
Andrew Gaff - 41 games
Jack Darling - 47 games

100 games
Nick Naitanui - 77 games
Chris Masten - 78 games
Will Schofield - 78 games
Eric MacKenzie - 79 games
Josh Hill - 88 games
Sharrod Wellingham - 92 games
Scott Selwood - 92 games
Sam Butler - 93 games
Josh Kennedy - 99 games

150 games
Matt Rosa - 126 games
Matt Priddis - 130 games

200 games
Adam Selwood - 178 games

250 games
Andrew Embley - 239 games
Darren Glass - 242 games

Amazing to see Scooter so close to 100 games, considering his age. Same with Naitanui, Darling and Gaff and their respective milestones.

Hell, considering this excludes Brown(51), LeCras(100), Nicoski(112), Waters(113), Hurn(122), Kerr(210) and Cox(251), looking at the quality of players hitting their primes this could probably go in the 'Why we're a chance this year' thread.

If we get into the GF, Cox may be able to equal our games record.

 

[Avalor]

If we get into the GF, Cox may be able to equal our games record.

Let's do it then!

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

If we lose the qualifying final then win the next two weeks to make the grand final, and he plays every game, Cox could actually pass Jako's record.

Not that I'm getting ahead of myself or anything

Sad to see Butler on 93, it's kind of a reminder of how much his talent has been curtailed by injury. I was looking at the stat sheets during 2006 the other day and it's hard to believe he had so much potential as a midfielder.

Very true, in the 2006 GF he played his 40th game yet it took until 2009 for him to hit 50.

He's a premiership player though, I'm sure that would go a long way to making up for his lack of games. Looking forward to him finally hitting 100 this year.

*touches wood*

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Feels like Darling debuted yesterday and he's about to hit 50 games!

 

[bassmanx]

Feels like Darling debuted yesterday and he's about to hit 50 games!

47 games and 77 goals in his first two seasons? No wonder people are crying foul.

 

[Noctorniquet]

Looking at the bracket of players which could play their 100th this year is mouth watering. Its a hugely talented group of players who will be the nucleus of our team for the next 5 years, which should only increase their output in the next few years.

So we should tank the first final so cox can pass jackos record at the same time he wins a premiership

 

[Hairy Lager]

Would be wrapped to see Sammy Butler make the BIG 100.

 

[Marlin01]

Would be wrapped to see Sammy Butler make the BIG 100.

That will/would be a huge day for the club internally I reckon.

 

[Hairy Lager]

That will/would be a huge day for the club internally I reckon.

Yeah, love to see the Subi crowd if/when Sam achieves it, give him a really great, warm applause, he has battled harder than most to line up for this club.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Big Cox.... that is all

 

[Wosh]

Yeah, love to see the Subi crowd if/when Sam achieves it, give him a really great, warm applause, he has battled harder than most to line up for this club.

this, I'll give him an ovation

To be honest most would sit on their hands in ignorance because he doesn't "just kick the bloody thing" often enough.

Glassy gee Priddis has got to 130 pretty quickly and been very durable if you compare him to Butler and Waters for example.

Only been consistently in the team since 2007 (when we still had Cousins, Judd, Kerr, Braun and company he still played 24 games that year)

Is Josh Kennedy 100 games all up or 100 for West Coast?

100 all up. He played 22 games for Carlton.

Anyone think Cox has a real shake at 300? Will most likely need 3 more seasons to get there.

I imagine this would involve him being a resting ruckman a lot more frequently as Naitanui takes primary responsibility at all stoppages (and not just the centre bounce).

He's 31..with NicNat, Lycett and whoever else to take some pressure off him I can't see why he couldn't play to 35 as long as his body holds out and he can keep the love going. If he has to continue working his guts out to carry all the load then 35 is a big ask but not impossible for a supreme player and athlete like him. I'll say yes, he will get there, I really don't think he will retire till he's shed his last drop of blood for the club.

I think he will be the one that makes it to 300 and will probably retire by the time he gets there. He is in peak form at the moment and can not see why he can not play for another 2-3 years.

Even if Lycett comes of age i can still see the 3 ruckman playing in the team at the same time as they are more than just ruckman and are capable of playing forward and contributing ( Nic Nat & Cox are proven but Lycett is being groomed to play a forward role too.)

Darling 47 games wow. Hope Sammy gets to 100 and many more!
