Universal Love Our all-time games leaders

[Headless]

Was just perusing AFL Tables. Thought it might be interesting to track those leading our 'games played' metric over time, particularly to see when Neitz's 306 games record might be broken.

Currently:

(44th, 169). Where will those still listed end up? Any general thoughts?

 

[Demon Attack]

Clarry because he will never leave us

 

[Headless]

It's wild that, if Gawn plays most games for another two seasons, say, he'll end up with close to 300 games. Certainly wouldn't have picked that early on!

 

[Bluelegs]

It's wild that, if Gawn plays most games for another two seasons, say, he'll end up with close to 300 games. Certainly wouldn't have picked that early on!

Even when ruckmen slow down they hang around for years. Goldstein is still on a list. Barring injury Gawn will get to 300 imo.

It’s a decent effort

Thank you - typing out that table took some time!

I reckon Nate Jones or Russel Robertson will make a comeback

 

[Proper Gander]

Thank you - typing out that table took some time!

It’s a table but also with different colours and bolded bits

 

[Headless]

What would a best 22 (23?) look like from that list?

Sounds like a job for Bluelegs!

 

[Dory_77]

Viney to play every game the next 3 years for our 3-peat should crack 310 by my calculations

 

[Bluelegs]

What would a best 22 (23?) look like from that list?

Sounds like a job for Bluelegs!

No, thank you.

 

[Proper Gander]

I’ll do it Headless

My favourite player whose name starts with D is Aaron Davey, followed by Fred Dick (18/11/1898)

Is it offseason yet?

Every season is the offseason when you're having off seasons.
