IT WAS a welcome sight to see Adam Goodes perform so well in a big game just ahead of Indigenous Round.
Goodes was back to his game-breaking best against the Hawks and the champion Swan will line up against Carlton on Friday night already holding the record for the most consecutive games by an indigenous player.
Docker Danyle Pearce is the player closest to overhauling Goodes' record but he's just over a third of the way there.
Evergreen Bomber Dustin Fletcher will become just the third AFL/VFL player to bring up 400 games when he faces Richmond on Saturday night in the Dreamtime at the 'G clash and that No.31 jumper has been with 'Fletch' the whole way.
