Adam Treloar will play his 21st game for Collingwood and 100th overall when he takes on the Gold Coast on Saturday night.
He's played just 20 games in the Black and White, yet Adam Treloar already feels like part of the furniture.
When Treloar's new side meets the Gold Coast Suns at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night, the midfielder will reach the significant milestone of playing 100 AFL games.
"I can't believe how quick it's gone," Treloar, 23, told Collingwood Media during the week.
"I have to sit back and pinch myself to realise that I'm doing something that I love and I'm so passionate about," he said on vodcast 'Sports Galore'.
"To be able to play 100 games at such a young age – I think eventually down the track I'll realise that it's a big milestone for me."
Joining Treloar for his 100th game will be a team of players with just one change from last week's three-point loss to the Western Bulldogs.
An ankle injury to Taylor Adams means the midfielder will miss the remainder of the season, while Ben Crocker returns from concussion.
"He's done well with his opportunities," Collingwood director of football Neil Balme said of Crocker.
"It's a pretty hard spot up forward where you have to make all your own opportunities.
"He's down really well."
A host of experience sits among the Magpies' emergencies, with Travis Cloke, Brent Macaffer and Marley Williams all on standby.
The Saturday night clash against the Suns marks Collingwood's second consecutive week playing under the roof of Etihad Stadium.
The ground hasn't been kind to the Magpies in recent years with Collingwood having lost its last six games at Etihad, last winning in round 11, 2014.
The tide will look to be turned against the 14th-placed Suns as Nathan Buckley's side chases a ninth win of 2016.
