Preview Milestones in 2011

[Pure_Ownage]

The 2011 season will see a host of Geelong players reach significant milestones.
Fifteen players are within reach of major games milestones that could be achieved in the coming year.

Current games:
Enright 199
Chappy 199
Byrnes 99
Blake 99
Milburn 278
Scarlett 246
Ling 225
Ottens 225
Bartel 181
Selwood 94
Stokes 89
Mackie 128
Wojo 177
Josh Hunt 146
Varcoe 76

Obviously the first four will get theirs, although I reckon Blake will finish the season on 102.

Great work by Scarlo and hopefully Jimmeh can get to 200 too.

I don't think Milburn, Ottens or Ling will have the durability to reach their milestones so they will retire short of them.

I think Stokes will be touch and go, and Wojo may just get there as his body is holding up well.

Mackie should so long as he's learnt the lessons from his axing and works harder.

Josh Hunt should get there even if he's not a regular all year and Varcoe might depending on how deep we go into finals and whether his shoulder holds up.

Obviously injuries could interrupt each player trying to get there, but hopefully they don't.

Just for passing interest, if Gary Ablett plays every game, he is due his 200th, against GEELONG, May 28. Who's going to GC?

I'm not surprised but the most underrated player on our list has missed your list, and he's only 4 games off 150..

 

[Rustin' Man]

Josh Hunt is the missing name. He would reach his 150 games the same time as Scarlo reaches his milestone.

What is Kelly's status?

 

[Rustin' Man]

According to the Cats' website, Kel has played 170 games. Don't forget he had that horrible broken leg and he was dropped quite often before 2007.

Good luck with the banner round 1.

I have certainly been thinking about it.

Although I may have to arrange to have the Monday off work if it is a Sunday game.

They should come out breathing fire in Round 1...couldn't ask for a better setting for what will be a tough game against the Saints.
