That is f****** awesome mate, I think you've just inspired me to knock off early and go watch Lefty run with a beer in my grabber.

Great news, JK. I've seen first hand what aggressive MS can do, and anyone who successfully fights back against it deserves to be congratulated. Keep up the good fight, mate, we're with you.

If it's a night game or in Perth you could probably get pissed twice in the one day.

I'm set to play my 250th game tomorrow for my beloved North Haven FC.

My goal this year was to play the eight games I needed to get to 250 and all bullshit aside we've had this year I'm pretty happy I'll be able to achieve the milestone.

Hasn't been an enjoyable season though to be honest, playing most of it under a coach I really dislike in a team that hasn't been an enjoyable and positive environment to be a part of. As much as I'm happy to get to 250 I'm happy my season is finishing tomorrow as I've wanted it to be over for a number of weeks and the only thing keeping me interested is getting to the milestone.

Firstly, congratulations mate, 250 is a remarkable effort and well done for sticking it out, go well.
