Which current Tigers will join the 300 club?

The 300 club: Who's on track from your team?

RICHMOND

Dual Norm Smith medallist Dustin Martin (225) has been incredibly durable – playing at least 20 games in every season and was the fastest Tiger in history to 200. With a lucrative deal to 2024, he's on track to crash through the 300-game barrier in 2023. Jack Riewoldt (263) will be on the verge come the end of next season provided the Tigers play finals, while 31-year-old Shane Edwards (256) will be touch and go given he has a deal to 2021. Trent Cotchin (235) will need to play to 33. Josh Caddy (158), Tom Lynch (157) and Dion Prestia (156), who are all 27, could do it at age 33.

If they slash lists to 35, then highly likely only Jack.

Blokes over 30 will not hold their spots much past 30 on lists of 35

If they slash to 35 the smart clubs will have an unofficial pipeline of kids, they can't afford not to develop kids.

Ridiculous.
Dusty is contracted to play 300 and Shedder will no doubt get there. Both will need a decent run with injuries but no reason at this stage to doubt it.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Dusty is basically a lock. Durable, young and contracted.

Jack I think will struggle if they don't play a good amount of games this year (IE another 15-20).

Sheds will be fine, don't know what they're on about. Durable and fit. Will probably play until 35+ like Burgoyne.

Cotch I don't think has a change. Can see him making 260-280 max.

Caddy, Lynch, Prestia probably all a bit premature but I wouldn't have thought so. 250 should be their goal. Prestia will be lucky to get there IMO - probably more of a 220 guy.
