Congratulations on 300 "Magic" Games!

[Blood]

Nothing i type can do the man justice.

Onya Micky!!

[Lucky Knickers]

Oh Mickey you're so fine!
A deserved legend of the club. The milestone made more incredible through the injuries he's overcome to keep getting out there and being one of the most exciting forwards in the league. Full of flair and excitement - the highlight reel is incredible.
It's been an absolute pleasure watching his 300 games, not least for his passion and competitive spirit that was so important in 2005 and 2006.
I can't go past Hungry Jacks without thinking about that moment at Subi.
We'll all be talking about him for years to come!

[Hazcam]

I love you Magic!! I've followed the bloods for the entire length of your career. Since 1995 you've been in the side and I don't know a swans side without you in the squad.

Hope you make it to round 22, I hope it's not Kirky's last game either, many tears will be shed for sure my friend.

I hate farewelling players. Dale Lewis, Plugger, Kells, Maxfield, Bazza. Now it'll be Leo, Mick, Crouchie and possibly Kirky



How fitting that it is the channel 7 game and Bruce will be commentating it

Anyone else going to the pre game function at MCG on Sunday at 12:30pm, my friend has booked tickets for us, so I am going. Was wondering what people know about the pre match function and who will exactley be there?

What is the pre-game function and where can I find out more information about it?

I'll be there to hopefully celebrate a big win on a special day for one of AFL footballs all time legends!

[stellation]

It's a shame he couldn't do it at the SCG, or even over in Adelaide, but at least we're a chance of winning this one for him!

Congratulations Magic on reaching the 300 games

Thank you for all the memories, mine will always be you running along the boundary line into the faces of those West Coast supporters

It will be so sad to see you retire

I just hope we can win for you

[Emerald Hill]

Sunday will be a huge occasion for Mickey AND the club.

The first Swans player to play all of 300 games in the red and white. A true club legend!

Let's hope the team can do the right thing for him!!!!

Yep, it's bound to be 'delicious'

[i'm-uninformed2]

Some friends and I got together and dressed up at my house to compile our own little tribute to the man we've enjoyed watching more than any Swan

Well done Micky. One of my favourites.

[timbo]

Have some great memories of him and Barry Hall, one of our best ever forward combinations.

What an achievement 300 games! MOL is a tribute to himself but also the medical staff. He had some chronic knee problems and overcame them with expert medical help from the Swans team. Those ice baths took some discipline!!! I just think this milestone was in no way easy,,it took enormous effort and sacrifice and determination beyond most individuals. Let's recognise a great man!
