QuoteSydney Swans stars Adam Goodes, Jude Bolton and Ryan OKeefe will etch their names into the AFL history books this Saturday against Port Adelaide when the trio breaks the record for the most games played together.

The three Swans will notch up their 254th league game together this weekend at AAMI Stadium 13 years after Goodes, Bolton and first-gamer OKeefe took to the field in the same team for the first time against the Western Bulldogs on Mothers Day in 2000.

Goodes, Bolton and OKeefe will break the record of Western Bulldogs players Brad Johnson, Rohan Smith and Scott West, who played 253 games together between 1994 and 2006.

which guys active would be in contention to break this record?

possibly some of the gellong boys maybee.

Kelly Bartel Corey maybee? they certianly have played enough finals games to make it up and still have years left.

all on 200+ games.

I think its the saint kilda boys

yes, i read it in the paper today before i saw it online. it is ST kilda but they will never catch them as one of them is Milne

The closest current trio, on 207 games, are St Kilda's Nick Riewoldt, Nick Dal Santo and Stephen Milne, who faces an uncertain future after being charged with rape yesterday.

With Goodes gone for the season the milestone wont grow, but with Milne retiring the saints trio wont catch them

You'd think there'd be a 4th player in there like Joey who' only have played a few less than Milney.

Joey is on 230 career games so most of them would be with NRoo and NDS...

You would think  so, it would be interesting to see how far they are behind, but with talks of Dal leaving and possibly being NRoos last year they wont catch the Swans
