Tracca joins an elite group next week and I hope that Clarry can keep his run going. But don’t want him to risk further injury.😢✅💕

TRACC’s 150th game next week!!!

Let’s all hope he gets to celebrate TWO awesome things that night!

On the same night it’s Tommy Sparrow’s 50th (already!)

Be nice if his run continues and 'tracs' like N.Smith's or, even better, B.Dixon's before him, which came with 3 and 4 flags respectively!

As an aside, Jack Crisp up to 185 consecutive games - that streak is starting to get a bit too close to the record for comfort.

Couldn't agree more. Needs to sling tackle someone.

He must be close to burnt out?...

😉

CP5 IS ALIVE!

lets hope he breaks the big man's records...

Norm's record is pretty decent considering it was WWII at the time!

Michael Hibberd will also bring up 100 MFC games. Big night of milestones!

I asked if that would be included on the banner as well as Tracc’s and Sparrow’s milestones but unfortunately it’s only ever total number of games that gets a mention.
All good though, WE know he’s marking his 100th as a Demon and we love him for it. 

[Bates Mate 4,520]

Great achievement. Seems a long time ago that he missed a whole season with a knee.i Must admit I was worried he'd make after that. Glad he proved me wrong

[Little Goffy 14,975]

Just a curious thought about the difference between Oliver's consecutive run from debut, and Petracca now getting a stable run at it after a very interrupted start to his career. Gawn and Brayshaw have each only missed five games in the last five years.

Got a whole group of young guys rarely missing a game now, too. Touch wood but it really seems we've got our preventative conditioning sorted out.

Side note; how ridiculous is it that Nathan Jones managed 109 consecutive games starting from 2012. Resilience personified, physically and mentally.

make a seperate little banner for hibba that he can run through between the time he leaves the rooms and arrives in the tunnel onto the ground.
