Prediction Shannon Hurn - Our All Australian Premiership Captain (and 300 Gamer)

[MIKE85]

Don’t care. As long he retires a premiership captain, that’s all that matters

Reckon it might be Darling that’ll be our first 300, unless Gaff stays, then more likely him, but he’s gone for sure.

 

[CM9000]

I think you mean mid 2021.

Fixed, cheers for pointing it out.

If Gaff stays, he will be our first 300 gamer. Think Bunga will call it quits in the next two years.

100% Gaff if he stays.

Super impressed with Bunga's season, but 3 more full seasons will be tough. Probably 4 if he has an injury. Should catch Jacko at 276, but be pushing to get Cox @ 290. Unless they give him free games in his last season like Cox was getting.

Ahhh I see.
Similar to my win last year it requires sponsoring a hack that isn't really best 22 to take the prize.

Late 2020 for mine.... Obviously nobody thinks we will play in the next 3 GFs except me.
And you call yourselves arrogant.

It's gonna be tough to make 300 if you subtract all the games he's played as Shannon Hurt though.

Well played.
Stealing that

It’s the key to sponsorship success!

Well then sign me up for the prize!

Is he still a lock for AA? has been a bit quite as of late.

Gimme a break. I missed the birth of my first child to write Frases big pre season introduction

I was having a look through the career stats for our players today, and I never realised that our captain is 6 games shy of 250 (although he won't reach it this year). Given Hurn's impressive durability (despite looking like a 50 year old his entire life) and the fact he's having a career best season at 30, could his magnificent calves carry him to the milestone?

Assuming his current output of games per season remains the same (23 per year), Hurn could reach 300 games by mid 2021, six-ish(?) months before his 34th birthday. If he retires at the end of 2020, he'll finish up on 313 games.

Is it possible? Well, I think it is, and I'm certain Here2tellyouwhy will guarantee it.

That's a bold strategy, Cotton.

I gave birth to Hurn

Hurn does have the benefit going for him in that he does genuinely enjoy playing football- he said he would play country footy after his career has ended. So I think if his body does hold up he will play on for as long as possible. Has really grown into the role of Captain & would be a well deserved premiership captain should that eventuate. (Especially in comparison to Judd who was a champion but not necessarily the best leader at that point )

He does also strike me as the kind of guy that would retire on 296 games if he felt he wouldn’t contribute the next year. I think he values quality over quantity.

 

[campaigner___]

Arrogant to write-off Mutimer I rekn. The blokes only 21 and has locked away 3 or 4 games already.

 

[oak79]

Shannon has already started writing his AA captain speech, his WCE B&F speech and being such an arrogant campaigner, plans to just copy them for his 300th game speech

I hope he's also written his premiership captain speach.

speach.

Speach
(noun) Having something to say, but it is most likely stupid or irrelevant in a conversation. The way someone says something with speach will sound as smooth as the flavor of a peach.

I'd like to see him get there. He might be pushing it but his durability seems to be solid.
