At this game, 300 kids lined up to create a 'Guard of Honour' for the champion in respect for his career so far and 300th game.The media interest that surrounded the event, both in the lead up and in the aftermatch, attest to the respect with which the football world holds Glenn Archer.

When asked about the record, Archer commented: "Schimma's a legend of our club and of the AFL, and when I walked into the club 17 years ago and saw Wayne Schimmelbusch's name up on the wall with 306 games, I never thought I'd come anywhere near that. It's certainly a bit surreal for me."
