SWFL 2023: Bunbury Football Club celebrate milestone men in 16-point win against Augusta-Margaret River

Bunbury Football Club duo Brad Blake (200 games) and Matt Partridge (150 games) celebrated in style during Sunday’s 15.6 (96) to 12.8 (80) win against Augusta-Margaret River on Sunday at Payne Park.

Both men led the Bulldogs out on to Payne Park, with a designated banner created for each player.

After the game at the club’s award presentation, Bunbury president Tom Busher praised both players for their commitment to the Bulldogs, especially early in their careers, when on-field success was limited.

Partridge received a framed collage of images during the presentation to commemorate his achievement, while Blake spoke about fondness for his loved ones and teammates — in particular Jesse Gribble — which made the milestone more significant.

Elsewhere on Sunday, Collie Eagles veteran Matt Blackford played his 250th game against Harvey-Brunswick-Leschenault at the Collie Recreation Ground.
