    100 game milestones

    I was surprised to read that Cal Sinclair has only played a total of 87 games. Seems he has been around for more than that.
    Goes to show how good the 100 game milestone is. If you play 22 games in a season and don't play any finals you have to play for 5 years to reach it.

    And the fact that most first year players don't play a full season in year 1.
    And the fact he was second string to Nic Nat at WC, and, except for this year, in Sydney behind Tippett and Naismaith as well.
    2013 WC 5
    2014 WC 4
    2015 WC 20
    2016 SY 16
    2017 SY 19
    2018 SY 23
    TOTAL 87

    Hopefully he makes 200, he's a real competitor for us

    Very solid season by C. Sinclair this year, busted his gut for the club.

    Ooh, I could go on all day about "games played" statistics. It's a rich vein!

    But if we restrict ourselves to players who debuted in 2013 (when Sinclair debuted): there are 96 of them, of whom 14 have played 100 or more games since.

    For that group, the median is about 40 games and the mean about 49 games. So he's gone a lot better than average.

    I thought he had a great year too; worked hard, played his role for the team.

    Love Sinkers. Has a great attitude.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
