NICK Riewoldt needs to kick just two majors this weekend to reach the 650-goal milestone.
The 32-year-old, who has kicked 29 goals from 16 matches this season, would become just the third Saint to achieve the feat, after Tony Lockett (898 goals) and Bill Mohr (735 goals).
He is second on St Kilda's goal tally in 2015, trailing Josh Bruce, who has booted 48 majors in a breakout year.
Riewoldt has also skippered St Kilda on 198 occasions, the fifth most in VFL/AFL history.
He trails Michael Voss (210 games as skipper), Ted Whitten (2012), Dick Reynolds (224) and Stephen Kernahan (226).
