The race to 100 games for the club

Presti35 · Posted: Sat Sep 12, 2020 3:21 pm

From these three, who will get there?

Travis Varcoe - 90 Collingwood games (138 with Geelong).

Jeremy Howe - 87 Collingwood games (100 with Melbourne).

Levi Greenwood - 80 Collingwood games (74 with North Melbourne).

JT plays his 100th this week, whilst De Goey (94), Treloar (90), Phillips (89), Moore (85) and Hoskin-Elliott (81), who are all a lot younger, can all reach the milestone in 2021.

Varcs, Howe and Levi probably would have made it by now if not for injuries along the way.

Howe will make it. He will be playing in 2021. IF Greenwood plays on on 2021 he will make it too. I think time will beat Varcoe sadly.

You might be right. Varcoe has been named this week though, which is a little bit surprising. We'll have to see how many more he gets to play this year and if he calls it a day at seasons end.

Could be stuck with Rhyce Shaw, who's stuck on 94 club games. And Brian Taylor on 97.

Speaking of we'd kill for a 2020 version of BT in our side right now - god bless him <3

Howe, no question. He's not going anywhere (we hope). I'd say Greenwood is unlikely and Varcoe almost certainly won't. If all goes well, De Goey will play his 100th on 24 October. Mr. Green

Howe the most likely, followed by Greenwood.

Doubt Varcoe stays on the list beyond this year.

Well Varcoe leaves on 92 club games. Greenwood is now on 84 and Howe on 87. Both are still in reach of the milestone, but will Levi play in 16 games next year?

If Treloar is traded, he'll leave on 94. Other players in trade rumours; Phillips on 89. JDG on 98. WHE on 85. With Tom Langdon on 89.

Signed up Moore is on 89 and should reach 100 next year.

Not that it really means anything apart from affecting their chance for life membership and not allowing us to bid on any potential farther-son players, which is rare.

JDG and Moore have both passed the 100 games mark for the club.

From the OP; Varcs, Howe and Levi could all have easily made it if not for injuries along the way. Howe should get there with just 8 games to go. Levi will sadly miss the mark and Varcs has already left. Looks like Cox (73) and Mayne (68 ) will miss it too. Mayne might have made it had he not played his first season in the VFL.

WHE will get there in 3 games.

Yeah, looks like Howe and Mihocek (71) are the only two who could possibly reach the milestone next year. Next cabs off the rank are Callum Brown (61) and Jordan Roughead (53), and I wouldn’t say either are guaranteed to get there (Roughead turned 30 last November). So we might well have to wait for Josh Daicos (48) in late 2023 / early 2024 for the next one after Howe/Mihocek.
