Since kicking four goals on debut against Murray Magpies in 2013, the forward-pocket has aspired to squeeze as many games out of his small frame as possible.

"I can't see myself playing anywhere else," the 25-year-old laughed.

"I'd love to get 200 games up before I give it away.

"I think I started out in the under-14s when I was 10 and couldn't imagine playing for another club."

The Giants have three Lieschkes in their senior side with Blake's distant cousins also bringing up milestones over the past two seasons.

Brian played his 150^th match against Murray Magpies earlier this year while Daniel notched up his 100^th in 2019.

Although his home club Walbundrie has merged twice in his life-time, he said seeing an abundance of Auskick kids each week meant the Giants' future was in good hands.

Lieschke co-coaches the under-17s and is on the club's committee.

The shearer enjoyed his best season in front of goals in 2019 when he kicked 43 majors to finish fifth in the Hume league's goalkicking award.

He believes the Giants have plenty of improvement left in them this year.

"The last few weeks have been better but I still think we have another gear," he said.
