Tony plays his 300th game for Swans on Saturday. He will be only the 7th player in WAFL history to achieve this milestone. He has been an outstanding player and clubman over his long career and he has proved to be very durable as he showed when he recovered quickly from an ACL a few years ago, when it looked like it could be a career ending injury.
His ability to take contested marks is a highlight for me but overall he has been a reliable no nonsense footballer who just goes out and does his job for the team. I can't recall him being involved in anything controversial on the field and I think he would be respected by all WAFL supporters, whoever they might support.
If Tony can stay free of injury, he will also go past the record of Billy Walker, Swans other 300 game player.
He has shown his commitment to the club by commuting from the South west to play every week for the past few years.
We should celebrate this outstanding achievement by Tony as sadly I think it may be the last time that a player goes past 300 for a WAFL club.

Hi Mike. As an opposition supporter, I agree with everything you've said and consider this guy a true ornament of the game. To clock up 300 WAFL games is a fine achievement and the way he's gone about it is a testament to his dedication and professionalism. Congrats Tony, you're a star of the WAFL but I only hope you don't celebrate this magnificent milestone with a win.

it's a fantastic achievement - he's got a bad knee to carry but he's quietly accumulated so many games regardless
well deserved congratulations
 

Big congrats to Notte on a magnificent achievement.As you said Mikeh well respected by the WAFL community and a class player who gives his all for his club.When he hangs up the boots those classic marks will be missed.Good luck to the guy.

To Tony Notte, well done Sir. I don't think we'll see another milestone like this. When one considers he's been travelling from the south-west for several years to keep playing. And acheiving for the one club also. 

Congrats to the champ on his 300th,  and  congrats to SD, in particular Mr Reidy, for  securing the win for Notte on his big day.

How good is Notte, an absolute clean wafl footballer, 300 games, brilliant. Keep well Tony.

Agreed, great stuff by Notte

All going well, Tony is due to equal Bill Walkers record against Claremont at Bassendean on July 13 and will go in front at Fremantle 2 weeks later

Congratulations to Tony Notte. An outstanding achievement. Pleasing he could celebrate the milestone with a win.
