Boyd plans to play 3 more years? so would go close, some of our fans hope he doesn't
Cannot see that happening. 2 max.

I just thought I see peoples views on playing todays footy and the longevity in it.
Just having a browse over some stats I noticed that our current crop of senior players that are about or are close to hanging up the boots are all under 250 games and maybe Murphy may make the 250 but it will take a full season next year and if not another year after that. Giansiracusa may also make it if he can put a full season in next year but I can't see anyone making it to 300.
Current players that have made 300 games are:
Dustin Fletcher 364
Brent Harvey 342
Adam Goodes 313
Simon Black 311
Then:
Luke Power 299
Jude Bolton 297
Matthew Scarlett 281
Matthew Pavlich 275
After this lot it drops down to players hovering the 250 mark and are very close to finishing up.
So will we ever see another 300 gamer for the dogs in todays football?
Very soon I feel.
