Our modern greats - where are they at?

To start, they are our all time club and AFL greats - each is a 3 times premiership hero and we will forever be grateful for the joy they have given us.

Grimes - capt Grimes plays his 200th game on Thursday - that’s are pretty big milestone and at 30, 250 games is a possibility and still has plenty to give.

Martin - aged 30 and has amassed the best 265 games you will ever see and should hopefully finish the season around 275+. Two more years on his contract should see him a 300 gamer and all time tiger great - I am predicting this to happen and it wouldn’t surprise me this is when he pulls up stumps. I hope this is not the case but time will tell and a lot can happen in 2 and a half years.

Jack - aged 33 with 314 games to his name and he should click over 320 by seasons end - one more season will see him finish around 330 - 340 games is my guess. He has the drive and smarts to go one more season. That will give him another 50 goals plus cause is is still producing over 2 goals a game. He may reach Bartletts 788 goals but Richo on 800 maybe just out of reach. He could finish all time top 13 AFL goal list - what an achievement if that happens.

Cotch - younger than Jack at 32 years of age has 278 games to his credit. All going well he will get to 288 - 290 by seasons end. He is playing well but I think he is giving his all for his last season at the club.

Edwards - also aged 33 and on 292 games. He should be a 300 tiger champ with this being his last year also.

Lambert - aged 30 and 132 games - sadly his last season.

It’s a changing of the guard so I hope the club does it right by player and club.

Gibcus is having a great debut season
