Our skipper is potentially just one match away from equaling a 30-year record held by Gary Dempsey.
10 marks or more in a game / number of games
Gary Dempsey (Footscray/North Melbourne) — 136 games
Nick Riewoldt (St Kilda) — 135 games*
Stewart Loewe (St Kilda) — 97 games
Matthew Richardson (Richmond) — 94 games
Roo has taken 10 marks against the Cats, Suns and Dees, and so he only needs 1 more 10-mark game to equal the record, and 2 more to pass the record.
It's quite remarkable that this record has stood for so long, particularly throughout the 90's and early 00's and the era of the key forwards.

Although Nick probably didn't get votes yesterday, his performance was most impressive.
He looked more athletic than I've ever notticed. Throughout the day he was in the backline, the forward line and across the middle. It's like we had an extra player on the field. He was running with the ease of a Ethopian distance runner.
The 'touched goal' in the 3rd quarter (I think) that the umpire refered was pivitol in the dynamic of the game, it was Roo's fingernail that saved us.
After yesterdays's performance he looks like he may have a couple more years in him as an athletic wingman.
Come to think of it, he's probably entitled to be considered All Australian on the wing.

I would love to see Nick achieve the title of 'longest serving captain'. Wouldn't hurt if he was captain in 2017. By the way, which player has taken the
most marks?

I'm with you, Newman. Stuff Kernahan and Reynolds. Roo deserves to go past both of them. I believe Gary Dempsey holds the all time record for marks taken. Unlike Roo, he would drop a kick behind the play and pick up many uncontested marks. He was good, though. Not as good as Buckets who remains the greatest marking freak I've ever had the pleasure to watch. I think Loewe has Been under rated for way too long. 300+ games in the hardest positions of all. No one took more contested/pack marks as consistently as Buckets.
I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

Roo is in second place 158 marks behind Dempsey, but closing!

Congratulations Nick.
A large portion of Roo's marks are realtively uncontested, or more likely as a result of amazing 'gut running', and dropping off his oponent.
Stewart Leowe (buckets) is the most impressive contested mark I've ever seen.
