Gets me excited about this weekends game. Cannot lose such a significant game.

Against a team of 10 first-year players who will probably tank for the rest of the year?

Might actually bet on football for the first time

I was living in Brisbane for a while and in Johnno's first year (I think) I went to the Gabba to watch the game (we won in the last minute, thanks to Hawk and Johnno) and had the priviledge of taking Arthur Edwards (1954 player) with me to the game, I was amazed to see this skinny kid with the rosy cheeks running non-stop back and forward from the wing and as I recall Arthur said to me when I asked about Brad, "that this kid would be a club champion one day" and I must say I have enjoyed watching Arthur's prediction come true as I am sure all doggies fans would . Brad is a legend of our club and deserves the games record just as the other champion game record holders before him have done. Well done Brad.

It will be great to see Hawk & Granty out there as Johnno runs out, Johno, absolute Bulldogs champion.

For those interested, here's an article from the Footy record the round Hawk broke EJ's record...

That's a tremendous mullett Hawk is sporting there

In all seriousness, two pretty good looking jumpers too

Congratulations Brad, I'm glad they made you captain after Turtle. Hope he plays deep (not only on Saturday but for the rest of his career) and kicks a bag

Congratulations B. Johnson.

Been an absolute pleasure watching you do your stuff for 341 games.

Hopefully this can provide a little inspiration to get us up not only for this week but also for the balance of the season.

Congratulations Brad, I'm glad they made you captain after Turtle.

Just a little clarification.

One of my criticisms of Rocket was that he actually appointed Luke Darcy as captain after Granty.

Johnno only became captain after Luke did his knee.

Thanks Brad - it's been a pleasure being able to watch you play! Let's keep up the dogs tradition of putting in a massive effort to make this milestone game! Go Dogs!

We've all been blessed to have a bloke of his caliber in the red, white and blue.

He's given us so many great memories - his heroics in his 300th game last year was undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable moments of my life.

Well done Johnno - a true Bulldog.

It'll also be fantastic to see Hawk and Granty out there today, in what promises to be an important day in the Club's history.

You are a Legend Johnno, congrats and end it all with 350 and a flag.
Or better still 400 and 2 flags.

Watching the lead up to the game can't help but feel that Westy should of had this accolade as well

Re: Brad Johnson - 342, Bulldogs Games Record Holder

Johnno is an absolute legend of the game, not only on the ground, but off it as well. I have met him twice now and he is an awesome person to speak to. One of my friends, who is a North supporter was talking to him in his local supermarket one day for a good ten minutes or so, and he told me how much he liked Johnno, he said he is his favorite outside of his beloved Roo boys. He really enjoyed his chat with him.

I have heard that so many times that people who follow other clubs have Johnno as their fave player from the opposition clubs. I know a few personally.

Knees were gone, body not up to it.

The thing about Johnno, he has been lucky with his fitness.
