    Congrats Lin Jong, Tom Boyd & Shane Biggs

    Lin Jong - 49 Games - 50 games this week!
    Tom Boyd - 48 Games - 50 games the week after this
    Shane Biggs - 47 Games - 50 games the week after Tom

    We are starting to see the curve in experience towards more 50 game and 100 game players, towards their career optimum range. With Crameri on 99, Wallis on 95, Macrae 87, Stringer 81 & Dickson 81 games, JJ 74, Bonts 73, Hunter 72, Jong 49, Boyd 48, Biggs 47, Roberts 45, Daniel 42.

    Time flies when you're having fun. All three have progressed exactly as you'd expect. More importantly Biggs and Boyd had massive, massive moments in the finals. I love Biggs in the side he's just so desperate he's really a Dale Morris clone minus the size.

    Due to injuries last year we've also given significant game time exposure to McLean, Cordy and Dunkley as well. All three have been at the coal face and that's invaluable. We've done the same with Williams and Dale this years and reaped more dividends.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Again, great value from the rookie Jong, and former rookie turned steak knives trade Biggs. Very happy to have 50+ gamers coming out of those recruitments. And getting value out of a #1 draft pick player.

    As a matter of interest is that 50 games with us for Biggsy or his total number of AFL games? I assume it's AFL games but he's such a bulldog of a player it's hard to imagine (or admit) that he ever played for another AFL club.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    3-0 against Ryan Gryphone at Dogs & GWS, including smashing him one-on-one as a Swan vs Dogs.

    Should probably just forget those six games.

    Not the day he smashes Gryphone. I think that game would've made us really, really pay attention to what he could do. Gyphone was the thoroughbred matched up against a stragler from the bush, but got out run by the Flemington straight. I know watching that I was personally really happy we got him, and cheap.

    Can't believe Jong is going to hit 50 games. We are starting to get some experience into the team.

    Peter Gordon was right, we are the danger

    You've got a memory like an elephant and a loyalty that never dims. I guess its why players put a strong emphasis on being one club players. The fans know them and remember them for it.

    Been really impressed with how he has gone this year. He is having a very good season.

    Who? Griffum. Never heard of him, what song did he sing?

    I still haven't quite forgiven Gary Dempsey yet.

    I am a big fan of all three. Biggs and Tom Boyd were so important during the finals campaign. Who can forget "The Wall of Biggs" during the Grandfinal?

    Boyd's brillance as well. Some of those marks he took were fantastic. We need to do another woofcast of the Grand Final but hopefully another GF win isn't to far away.
