Becoming only the 11th person in history to reach this feat Johnno also extends the Club record from 342 which he set last year.
It seems it’s unanimous the ‘Smiling Assasin’ as he is known to many is the “genuine article”, “a great role model” and a “true champion of the game.” We even had supporters from other clubs writing in with their regards.
Thank you for all of your comments, they will be passed on to Johnno. We hope they will give the skip and his team the support they need to secure victory this weekend.
Remember that www.westernbulldogs.com.au hopes to bring you more chances to interact with the club and have 'your say'. But don't forget we are now on Facebook and Twitter, so you can connect in all ways possible.
Go Doggies!
congratulations brad you are true role model for any young person to follow in sport of any kind.the best ambassador the A.F.L.has for av true and honest person on and off the field .you deserve the flag with the dogs this season .go dogs 2010
