PORT ADELAIDE stars Travis Boak, Robbie Gray and Hamish Hartlett headline a list of players set to reach significant milestones in 2021.
Boak is on course to celebrate his 300th AFL game this season should he play in at least 17 games, and will overtake Kane Cornes as the club’s AFL games record holder if he plays 18 games.
Gray needs 14 more games to reach 250, while Hartlett and Steven Motlop could both hit 200 AFL games in 2021, needing 17 and 16 games respectively to reach that milestone.
Gray should move into the club’s top five for games played at AFL level. He needs three games to skip over Chad Cornes and four to pass Peter Burgoyne in fifth.

Defender Tom Clurey was left on 99 games at the end of 2020 and should get to 100, while a host of young guns including Connor Rozee, Zak Butters, Xavier Duursma and Todd Marshall could all get to 50 in season 2021.
GOALS
Charlie Dixon is closing in on 250 goals, needing just four more to reach the milestone. He booted 94 of those while playing at the Gold Coast and his other 152 for Port Adelaide.
Gray will be looking to again narrow the gap on the club’s all-time leading goal kicker Warren Tredrea, although he’ll need a few big seasons to catch the former skipper.
Gray booted his 300th goal in 2019 and sits on 333 heading into 2021.
Travis Boak moved into the top ten on the club’s all-time leading goal kicking list with his 179 goals taking him past Chad Cornes in that spot.
