Some upcoming Milestones

[HappilyManly]

Damn, I hate milestone games they always seem to get the better of us

Chez isn't sentimental

 

[nightster]

Ha! 200 games and he still seems like a newbie in many ways.

Hard to believe but time flies as we get older.

Time flys like the wind .... fruit flies like bananas

200 games for DCE this weekend

Joins an illustrious list of Manly greats that have played 200 games in the Maroon and White. By my count he will be the 20th player to reach that milestone

Big win against the 90's rivals would be a fitting celebration

It’s a remarkable achievement both for the player and our club.

I count (in rough order of when their Manly careers ended):
Bob Batty (disputed by the game’s administrators, who believe he only played 198, rather than 203, 1st grade games)
Fred Jones
Bob Fulton
Terry Randall
Max Krilich
Graham Eadie
Alan Thompson
Paul Vautin
Des Hasler
Cliff Lyons
Owen Cunningham
Geoff Toovey
Steve Menzies
Brent Kite
Anthony Watmough
Matt Ballin
Jason King
Jamie Lyon
Steve Matai
Brett Stewart
And this weekend - Daly Cherry-Evans

I don’t think I missed anyone. Quite a team you could field from that lot.

Good team.

The list could be even longer, if Bill Hamilton hadn’t been pushed out in 1974; if Ian Martin hadn’t spent a year at Sawtell in 1975 and then not retired prematurely from Sydney football in 1978; if Glenn Stewart stayed fit for a year or so longer and was retained; and if Foran’s life on and off the field had panned out differently.

You forgot Matt Ballin, 217 games and sits between Jason King and Jamie Lyon, DCE is the 21st.

I had a nagging suspicion...I have now corrected the oversight.

Geez and in just a touch over 8 years, shows he hardly ever misses a game.
Ultimate professional in terms of his fitness and preparation. Fingers crossed he continues to stay healthy.

Very good point, he has been remarkably resilient . By the time he finishes his lifetime contract he could be our first 500 gamer

 

[Chip and Chase]

Well done to DCE on celebrating a win in his 200th game and for also playing a big hand in that win - a great game from him to mark the milestone

This weekend Jake plays his 100th game for the club, Much like DCE he has been remarkably resilient too, achieving this milestone in a touch over 4 seasons. Pretty impressive for someone who plays 80 minutes in the middle every week. A celebrated and much loved junior, I have little doubt he will be our next 200 gamer,.

Let's hope the boys can lift for Jakey this week and get him the win - it's a pity Tommy isn't there to share the moment.

The debut that never was: How a statistical quirk almost cost Taufua his milestone moment

The NRL has been forced to rewrite history after the Manly winger informed the club it was his 150th game this weekend - despite what official records say.

[Chip and Chase]

A couple of minor milestones to note

Joel Thompson played his 50th game for Manly last night

Brad Parker brings up that same milestone next week.

 

[Seagalatos]

Last weeks win against the Bulldogs was Desmond’s 250th game as Manly coach

 

[Seagalatos]

Most Manly games combined player and coach - Bob Fulton 524,
2nd Des Hasler 506, Des will equal the great Bozo in the second finals game this year and surpass him when we win our 9th title.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Dessie's 400th game as an NRL coach tomorrow.
