So read that however you like.

Yeah, this will be a ripping game.

Yeah.

Historically, it hasn't held the same fears for the Swans as it has for others, but there's no recent history there to dabble with.

Excellent.

Well, that's, yeah, there's games of consequence in this round.

That's right at the high end of it.

Good luck with your two minute drills tonight.

Keep an eye on how it all pans out.

Scott Pendlebury's games record shapes as the biggest individual milestone since Tony Lockhart broke the goal-kicking record in 1999.

For spectacle, for grandeur and for magnitudes.

It feels like a moment that will echo through football history.

And it's a timely reminder of what's at the core of the game.

The cynics have forgotten how to enjoy footy, the addiction to reaction over reflection.

But the very essence of sport is based on grand accomplishments and deeds never previously accomplished.

Saturday is for those who love the game, purely and innocently.

And 433 games is to be revered and reveled in.

Great players age.

They evolve.

They adapt.
