Since debuting under Luke Rayner in 2002, the big Saint has been struck down by a knee reconstruction and broken thumb, suffered heart-breaking grand final defeats and is at present a member of the side with the longest losing streak in Ovens and Murray history.

But the man dubbed “Skinny” hasn’t budged from the McNamara Reserve and is hopeful of celebrating his milestone with a win against Wodonga today.

“It’s taken a while getting to 100,” the 200cm ruckman said yesterday.

“There has been more bad than good along the way, but I’m a born-and-bred Myrtleford lad and I think it will turn around soon.

“We are still trying to get that elusive win and it’s only a quarter or 1?-quarters that has been letting us down this year.”

Despite the lean times to hit Myrtleford over the past three seasons, McIntyre, 28, likes what he’s seeing unfold under coach Stan Magro and is determined to be a part of the good times when the wheel turns.

“Stan is really good,” he said.

“All the players at the club know the game plan he wants us to follow and hopefully that win will come.”

Wodonga will take another depleted line-up into today’s clash and Myrtleford will get few better opportunities this season to break its drought given the torrential rain over the past 24 hours.

The Bulldogs have promoted another two first-gamers in Nathan McKendrick and Trent Turner and will need Jarrod Twitt and Adam Williams to continue their fine form to keep the home team at bay.

While a Myrtleford win is unlikely, nobody would begrudge McIntyre his moment in the sun.
