Then the following year, he's still 22 games short of 400.

Do you not think that he would need to play another two seasons after this to achieve the 400 if everything stayed together?

Yeah, he would.

But is that the motivation for him playing on?

Is it 400 games?

I don't know whether it's the motivation or not, but you get that close to the 400, you'd have to start thinking about it, would you not?

Yeah.

So I had a good deep dive into danger last week for the Herald Sun.

And his form when he plays has been a lot, lot better than I thought it was.

When you dug deep into it, his impact as a forward, how many times he's targeted and how they turn into goals, all those sorts of things.

He had a pretty quiet game last week against the Blues, but that will happen from time to time.

So...

From a form point of view, he's still rowing his side of the boat.

There's no question about that.

Yeah, the motivation for playing on next year, if they won a premiership and he was the captain, would that change things?

I don't know.

I think he strikes me as a guy that is going to keep playing until he plays and squeezes out the last bit of football that he possibly can.

Yeah, maybe.

And I'm not saying that he's going to put himself before the Geelong Football Club.

And I think given what he's done in football, he probably deserves the right to be instrumentally making that decision as to whether he goes on or not.
