Season 2020 has undoubtedly been a difficult one for players across the AFL.

The game’s stars have been shipped off to hubs, required to abide by stringent quarantine protocols and asked to put their body on the line more frequently in a bid to ensure the completion of the home and away season.

For some it has been a significant challenge.

But for others, it hasn’t been so bad.

Athletic West Coast utility Brendon Ah Chee is one example of an athlete who has thrived in the topsy turvy nature of the 2020 campaign.

The versatile 26-year-old has featured in all but one of the Eagles' nine fixtures this year, which is significant given the most games he had tallied in a single season previously was 11 with Port Adelaide in 2015 and 2016.

In fact, the South Fremantle product told 6PR’s SportsdayWA program last night that he had already achieved a new career milestone this year.

“I was actually having a joke with Simmo (senior coach Adam Simpson) while we were in the Queensland hub that I broke the streak of my most games played in a row,” Ah Chee said.

“I was stranded on four (consecutive games) for a pretty long time and couldn’t break the curse. The curse was sticking around for a pretty long time and to break it over in Queensland was really good.”

Ah Chee played seven straight games from the start of the season before suffering a back injury during the club’s record-setting tenth-consecutive RAC Derby win over Fremantle.

Fortunately he only missed one game – the club’s clinical win against Collingwood – and he was back in the tick of the action against Geelong last week, kicking a momentum-changing goal on the stroke of three quarter time.

Now he’s focused on helping the Eagles register their seventh victory of the year against Carlton at Optus Stadium on Sunday.

Ah Chee said the team was looking forward to taking on the resurgent Blues.

“They’ve definitely got the talent to go all the way, it’s just about maintaining it. We’ll be wary of that,” Ah Chee said of David Teague’s team.

“We’ll have our main training session tomorrow and we’ll do our main meeting on them and suss out how we’re going to go about attacking their game plan with ours.

“We’ll have a look at how they went at the weekend and sort of see where we can get them.”
