O'Loughlin's teammates...

[Charlie]

Prompted by Mick's milestone... I decided to go and have a look at how many teammates a player racks up in 200 games (or 199 to be precise).

I was surprised at how many there were. Anyone want to take a guess (without looking it up)? I only included players who actually played in at least one match with Michael O'Loughlin.

[NMWBloods]

65

[Bleed Red Blood]

80.

[ROK Lobster]

72

(when do we get the answer?)

[ugg]

I'll say 100.

[Go Swannies]

I'll guess 45. And the answer is???

[Thunder Shaker]

We've just about turned over our whole list since MOL made his debut. We've had a few delistings.

I'll guess 77.

How many res games has he played, and if any, did you count the fellas he played with then?

Micky must have a clause preventing him from playing in the magoos. He's always seemed to have come back straight into the seniors.

That's what I was thinking... Though, to be honest 98-02, is a blur for me.

[CureTheSane]

121

95. If you consider Will Sangster, Andrew Bomford, Leigh Brockman and Brent Piltz as having actually 'played'.

[ugg]

woohoo I think I'm the closest. Do I get a prize? (Maybe a Brent Piltz #43 jumper?)

Where did you get your information from Charlie?

Congratulations. You were close. You don't get his jumper, but you do get $100 for every kick that Piltz got in his career. Don't spend it all at once.

stats.rleague.com - that's where I got the info.

It was remarkably easy. I checked with games MOL missed (there's been 36 since he was drafted), and then counted every player who had to have played with him. This meant any player who was active between '96-'98 and in 2001, when he played every game, as well as those who played enough games (such as Leigh Brockman) in others seasons that at least one of them had to have been with O'Loughlin. There were a couple (such as Tim Scott, who is not one of the '94, having played his one and only game the week before Mick debuted) who I had to check.
