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.

NO

Ummm........Yes.

I mean NO!

No we don't unfortunately.

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

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

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.

It's highly unlikely Green will make it to 300.

Although i'm 22 in September, i reckon i'll be the next 300 gamer for the might red and blue!!!

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

Looking at the list Cale Morton has got off to a flyer in terms of games played deanox.

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

here is the hughes link sorry:

also HT you are right about cale, 30 games and he is just over 19. i didnt include him in the main list because he still has to get to 50 first! but should have listed him with frawley etc

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

At least we have 12 Premierships.........

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
