Preview Potential milestone games 2015

[eth-dog]

I always like doing this, here at potential milestones next year for the Essendon Football Club:

400 games: Dustin Fletcher (393); probable.

250 games: Brendan Goddard (247); almost guaranteed, Brent Stanton (226); highly unlikely

200 games: Jobe Watson (188); probable.

150 games: Jason Winderlich (128); highly unlikely.

100 games: Ben Howlett (97); almost guaranteed, Jake Melksham (96); almost guaranteed, Dyson Heppell (84); probable, David Myers (83); highly unlikely.

50 games: Travis Colyer (46); almost guaranteed, Shaun McKernan (34); highly unlikely, Jackson Merrett (28); highly unlikely, Joe Daniher (26); highly unlikely.

This takes into account best 22, injury history, etc.

Current milestone games 2015:

Round 3 vs Carlton (Goddard, Howlett)
Round 4 vs Collingwood (Colyer)
Round 6 vs Fremantle (Melksham)
Round 7 vs North Melbourne (Fletcher)
Round 13 vs Hawthorn (Watson)
Round 17 vs Port Adelaide (Heppell, McKernan)
Round 18 vs Western Bulldogs (Myers)
Round 23 vs Collingwood (Winderlich, Merrett)
Semi/Prelim final (Stanton, Daniher)

David Myers highly unlikely for 100 seems unfair. He's played 18 and 20 games respectively this past two years.

EDIT: did you change it to just unlikely?

Probably a fair call, but his injury history...

Edit: also says unlikely, not highly unlikely

 

[Doss]

Yeah, I don't see why Myers won't make 100 games in 2015 unless he gets injured.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

Yeah, I don't see why Myers won't make 100 games in 2015 unless he gets injured.

Eth does stipulate it's based on injury history, which I understand. But he's averaged 19 games the last two years.

No I didn't, haven't touched the OP

 

[Whispering_Jack]

No I didn't, haven't touched the OP

Hmm. Odd, I swear I read it as highly unlikely initially. Anyway, I think it's closer to probable going on recent history

 

[Ashton Agar]

Hopefully we can lock up Heppell's sons in 2015!

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Convenient lineup of opponents there if milestones can give the team a slight leg-up.

 

[craffles]

Bump. Highly unlikely probably fair for myers

 

[daffo]

Yeah, good call.

 

[CourtzMajora]

Yeah, I don't see why Myers won't make 100 games in 2015 unless he gets injured.

JINX!

Yeah i agree with the Fletch one, depending on how bad the groin is. wouldn't think he would go to Perth. shattered tho would of liked it to be against Norf!!

This is purely if it's a one week injury and he plays every game after this. No bias etc.

Yeah fair enough, well i don't think he will go to Perth, so might be Tiges at the G now....

 

[daffo]

Tigers at the G sounds about right.

This season to see Heppell reach 100 games already? Man, he hasn't missed a beat since his debut.
