It's a similar tale for Wills, who, along with James Brick, Malcolm Niblett, and Shaun Gilbert, has been at the Burra since his earliest junior footy.

"We bleed blue and gold," Wills says. "The last time I played in anything other than blue and gold was probably school footy. I wouldn't know how to play footy in any other jumper."

So young is the Kookaburra line-up that Carroll and Wills are considered veterans at 23 and 24 respectively. Wills said he feels it himself.

"We are the older blokes running around in this team. You look at a bloke like Brent Van Gils, who has come straight out of under-16.5s. That makes me feel old. He's six years younger than me," Wills said.

"Me and Jimmy, we didn't have this group of older blokes sticking up for us. We had to do it ourselves. Hopefully we can do that for these younger guys because there are some good footballers among them."

Wills estimates there have only been between 10 and 20 wins in his 100 games. He said the milestone would mean more if there were more wins along the way but, perhaps success will be all the sweeter when it finally comes.

Also reaching a milestone for the Kookaburras is reserves player Peter Cooper, who notches up 250 games today.

In other matches, Redan's Jarrott Giampaolo will play his 50th match today, against Sunbury, while Bacchus Marsh skipper Tyson Shea also plays game number 50.
