Following in the footsteps of grandfather Alan Chugg and uncles Roly, Patrick, Matthew and the late Jamie Chugg, Gard joins cousins Sam and Ben Chugg in the 200-game club, while Isaac is on Collingwood's list.
The man affectionately known as 'Yussel' played his first match for the Tigers as a six-year-old in 1996 before amassing over 100 junior games in black and yellow.

He's overcome a potentially career-ending elbow injury in 2017 and is now a mentor to the younger players coming through, with Longford president David Blair singing his praises.
"Yussel has been an admired player throughout his career, particularly for his tenacity on the ground and fun-loving nature off the ground," Blair said.
"He has particularly been admired by all of LFC in season 2020 for his preparation and management of himself and his fitness.
Yussel brings the same enthusiasm to his footy in his 200th game as he did in his first.
- Longford president David Blair
"He is just a fantastic person at our footy club."
