Another 2024 Queensland milestone in Round 10 with Rohan Briggs bringing up his 150th AFL match as a timekeeper. Rohan was on the siren for the Brisbane v. Richmond clash at the Gabba. A 32 goal match would have stretched out the quarters.
Congratulations on the milestone Rohan
The AFLs most experienced interchange steward has achieved yet another milestone. Adam Gulliver was on the bench for the Round 8 Richmond v. Fremantle match at the MCG in AFL match number 350.
Great work Adam. Onto 400!
Following close on the heels of Micahel Sexton, this week we congratulate Victorian based timekeeper Stan Pettett who was on the siren for the Geelong v. Carlton match at the MCG on 27 April. The match was his 250th AFL match.
Well done Stan
Great work Michael Sexton.
Michael was one of the timekeepers at the Round 5 Melbourne v. Brisbane clash at the MCG. As such he completed his 250th AFL match in that role. Of course add to that his 6 AFL matches as a field umpire in 1997 and his match total becomes that much more (probably some emergency jobs in there as well).
Congratulations Secco
