Burgers > BoomerThe man is a god, even more so after the 2013 prelim
Hopefully Pendlebury makes it to 400 games on merit and isn't nursed to the milestone like Burgoyne was.
It would also prove Boomer wrong.
Hope so because Burgoyne getting nursed to 400 cheapened the milestone.Given that he was one of the best on ground in the last quarter of the Grand Final, and that he only needs 17 more games to get to 400, you’d think he’d have a reasonable chance of getting there on merit.
Hope so because Burgoyne getting nursed to 400 cheapened the milestone.
The end can come quickly at that age though, remember when Richo almost won the Brownlow in 2008 yet by 2009 he was well and truly cooked.

Nursed him so much he played 18 games in his final season and finished on 407 games.
If you want nursed, Sam Newman was on the bench for 3 years to get him to 300.
Half way there....Suprisingly, I dont Recall an NRL player Playing 400 games, A couple would of played 350. The reason I bring this up was the teams play 24 games each then finals. In VFL/AFL history, the early years was a 14 round season, then 18 then eventually 22. Would like to see the AFL increase to 24 rounds, gives players a chance to crack the 400 games, Peter Carey played 447 games for Glenelg, Russell Ebert played 392 games in the SANFL, which makes their records more remarkable as they both played in an era where the SANFL was at its most violent.
Fletcher was nursed to 400 games too and Newman was before my time.Nursed him so much he played 18 games in his final season and finished on 407 games.

Burgoyne was being used as medical sub.Harsh to say that...
Mind you Clarkson wanted Silk Burgoyne to hit the 400 game mark.
Not gonna verbally Bash Shaun Silky Burgoyne on here.
When the hawks traded him in, he did recover from a knee injury didnt he?
Before his final year in 2021, Shaun Burgoyne was on 390 AFL games.
Yeah he played 13 games in a Corona Virus ridden 2020 season. Clarkson wanted him to get those last 10 games, it would of been criminal if he didnt reach 400 AFL games after all the consistent footy he played at Both Port and Hawks.
Yes the hawks were rebuilding in 2021, but Hawks at worst were gonna play him from the bench to make sure he hit 400 AFL games.

I hear you but looking at current players I'm not seeing an obvious 400 gamer after Pendlebury.3 out of 5 400 gamers finished their career past 2000. 24 player got to 350 games with 16 of those finishing past 2000. 8 from the next 10 on the all time games list as well. 400 is a rare feat ut it looks more like top players career length is on the rise.
Pendlebury will make it 4 out 6 within the last 10 years.I hear you but looking at current players I'm not seeing an obvious 400 gamer after Pendlebury.

Dangerfield could possibly get there but given the Geelong transition and injury concerns it is unlikely.
Neale would need 7 seasons. He is 31.
Bontempelli is "only" 28 and has played 231 games.
Fletcher was nursed to 400 games too
There were plenty of pundits in 2015 and 2016 saying the same thing. It was always silly.
We’ve been seeing more and more players reach 300. Even ones who in the past would not get close.
It is a matter of probability you would then see more 400-gamers.
