A mate who is a WCE fan asked me today if there were any other Melbourne players besides David Neitz to have played 300 games. My answer was 'NO'. Can anyone correct me if I'm wrong here? I did think of Norm Smith, but I don't think he played that many. Over to you my fellow posters!

    No we don't unfortunately. :mellow:

    David Neitz is the only player so far. And he deserved to! :)

    Adem Yze could of.....but didn't. :unsure:

    Hopefully Brad Green or somebody else can get to 300 games? :(

    I don't think James McDonald and Russell Robertson will make it to 300....but you never know.

    No offense to Green but I hope he doesn't make it. It would indicate that we, as a team haven't evolved enough. He isn't in the class of a Harvey or Crawford, players who played past their prime but still contributed to winning sides.

    a lot of it comes down to playing finals.

    brock currently has 86 and is 23. another 8 year (31) at 20 games per year gets him 250.

    jones has 61 games and is yet to turn 22, could notch up the 250.

    bartram has 52 games and is just 21, could be a candidate if he gets back into the team and stays around.

    green as just turned 28 and has 193. if he plays another 4 years the 250 is available. if we play finals in those four years, he could get to 280 pretty easily by the time he is 32.

    other than those players, not many older players have the chance to get there, rivers, davey, miller, mcdonald, robbo, wheelan will all drop short.

    younger players ie frawley, grimes could get there but it is way to early to tell.

    this will all change of course if the afl introduces a 26 game season, like they are discussing.

    ps while etting this info, found the danny hughes page, where they have somehow managed to link his stats in with the old danny hughes, played his first season aged 1 apparently? haha

    Thanks for the feedback and discussion guys! 'Yes, Yes, Yes, NO'. Sounds like the Vicar of Dibley doesn't it? It would be good if someone like Cale could make it to the big 300.

    I find it staggering that second to Neitz is Flower on 272.

    Seems crazy we haven't had more players up towards 300 - sort of echoes us never having a Century goalscorer

    Sad to say that the oldest footy club has only 1 300 gamer, and no century goal kicker.

    BAM! I never, ever tire of using this argument against my Crows-supporting mates. There is no comeback!

    One this century would be nice to brag about though :P

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
