IIRC it's Johnno's 300th v Crows Rd 1.

What's our record like in these kind of games?

Do some teams have a much higher win record re these games?

We used to be terrific at it. Libba, Croft/Galick retirement games but lately not as good.

We gave Adelaide a touch up in Granty's 300th a few years back on the back of Darcy tearing Rutten a new arse in the 2nd half.

West passes EJ's games mark in the same game I believe.

I think Wallett used it as a motivational thing but Eade doesn't really value it as much ie as a tool to play for and gee up the boys.

Interesting Eade mentioned at a Werribee function that they had a plan to counteract the Archer game against North and he seemed to place some value in milestone games.
From memory we got thumped.

In recent times the milestone games haven't been too kind to us, bar an exception or two. Made the trip over to Perth in 2006 to watch West & Smith hit the 300 Milestone games we all know how that game turned out...we were bundled out of the finals right on our behinds.

Grant's 300th was an awesome game to watch against Adelaide, (we won that one ) the players lifted for the great man.

Johnno's 300th will be special and I sincerely wish and hope that they win this game.

I think its just coincided with our performance as a team, when we were good 97-2000 we won a lot, even in the few years after that we were able to lift, however since then we have also lost a lot
