JOHN CAHILL Medallist Justin Westhoff and three-time club champion Robbie Gray headline a lengthy list of Port Adelaide players set to reach significant milestones in 2019, ten years after they debuted for the club.

Westhoff is two games short of reaching 250 career games, which will make him just the third player to reach that milestone with the club in the AFL, behind Kane Cornes and Warren Tredrea.

Westhoff is fast closing in on Premiership skipper Tredrea’s 255 games to take over second place on the all-time games list for the Power.

Another former captain Travis Boak is five games behind Westhoff, needing seven to reach 250.

Brad Ebert is 15 games short of 250, having played 159 games since moving to Alberton from West Coast. He is just seven games short of passing his cousin Brett Ebert, who played 166 for the club at AFL level.

Ruckman Paddy Ryder needs 24 games to get to the 250 mark, having played 56 for Port Adelaide since moving across from Essendon.

Gray is aiming to become just the ninth player to play 200 games for Port Adelaide. The mercurial forward needs to play just one more game to reach the milestone, allowing him to join 575 other players league-wide to play 200 AFL games.

The versatile forward/midfielder currently sits on 294 career goals, just three ahead of Westhoff, despite the taller man having played 49 more games than him. The pair sits second and third on the club’s overall AFL goalkicking list, having each passed Jay Schulz’s mark of 275 goals in 2018. But they’re still each well behind club legend Tredrea, who booted 549 AFL goals during his career.

Gray is also closing in on 4000 career disposals, needing just 25 to pass that mark. Only 275 other players have done that since records were kept in 1965, including Boak who has had 5620 so far and could join just 65 others to have passed 6000 career disposals in 2019. Kane Cornes leads all Power players in this stat, having had 7060 disposals in his 15-year, 300-game career.

Ollie Wines could reach his 150^th AFL game later in the season. The 24-year-old needs 21 more games to achieve that milestone – a remarkable feat given his tender age.

Charlie Dixon could also play his 150^th game in 2019, requiring 24 more to reach that milestone. But he is almost certain to reach 200 career AFL goals given he needs just one more. That’ll see him join 391 others to reach that mark league-wide.

Midfielder Steven Motlop is also on track for his 200^th career goal, requiring 14 to reach that milestone.

Coach Ken Hinkley has a milestone of his own to celebrate in 2019, needing just 13 more games to reach 150 as senior coach.

Hinkley has a 56.2% overall winning record, including finals.
