426

[Marns]

There seems to be a little confusion as to what these little three supreme numbers mean. For first-time visitors, or long time footy fans who have been asking themselves the question 'Who is 426?', then let us help you out.

It has been explained numerous times by Melbourne fans, so for this reason I will give one reason. And one reason only.

http://melbournefc.com.au/cp2/c2/webi/person/125200aq.gif

Nick Smith. Debuted way back in 2003, and has played 2 outstanding games since. Yet to kick a goal, we are all waiting for the day when our Messiah will finally be recalled to the Dees' side to reclaim his rightful spot at CHF.

'426' has been injured for most (if not all) of his footballing career, and over the years it seems that whenever he has been listed in the paper as injured, he is always four-to-six weeks away, hence 426. Of late, he has been uninjured and playing solid football for the Zebs, in the hope that he can burst through back into the AFL. We all have faith that he can do so, but we do not select this side. If we did, he'd be in without the blink of an eye.

If anyone has any questions, or important information for our uninformed brothers and sisters out there, please place them it here. For the rest of us, this can be our shrine. God knows this place will be rocking when he gets called back up one day.

Long live, 426.

This is possibly the greatest thing I have ever seen on the internet.
A little bit of something just came out :eek: :o

426 not being in the side is the reason we are not winning premierships. Make him captain-coach and watch us become a powerhouse. :thumbsu:

P.S.- Can anyone guess the number of chicks who have had the pleasure of being invited to the 426-Chopper household?

[Kaitsey]

Lynch > 426

Not even 426 can count that high.

[AllStar7]

:eek:

Ban this fool.

Lynch grew a mo to try and compete with the greatest of them all, The Chopper. 426 however, does not need a mo to play like a footballing god.

Is 426 the average daily amount Buller bookings are going down every day due to the resurgence of the Demons?

Or is it your membership tally?

[CaptainDavey]

I bet if he plays he'll win the Coleman medal...In one game!

[Supermercado]

Daniher flagged Brad Miller, Lynden Dunn and Ryan Ferguson as "key position options" that are in the mix for a recall, while he added that forward/midfielder Shannon Motlop was an option for injured duo Aaron Davey and Byron Pickett

**** YOU

[CowboyFromHell]

**** YOU

Danners is just foxing - he doesn't want Sydney to know 426 is in the mix! ;)

[goal sneak]

Finally a sticky for the great man.

WE LOVE YOU 426!

And Marns, 426 has played 3 games. You just didn't know he played one, he was wearing his invisible cloak.

My appologies Marns.

Long Live 426

[AllStar7]

This is an outrage!

We've included every tall player on our list in this week's side... but still no 426! :eek: :mad:

Oh well, I guess someone needs to win Sandy that third flag in a row :D

[Bartram_Class]

The fact that 426 cant get a game this week means his great career may be coming to an end, long live 426.

What the hell is smith doing at Sandy still. He is the only bloke over 6 foot not to be getting a game this week. Wake up Neale! A top 4 spot on the line, injuries to our guns and you still refuse to play him. C'mon Neale what are you saving him for? Is the only way he is going to get a game if our big men go down like doggies? The time has come for 426 to be released to the wild. He has shown he can perform at VFL and we all know he will be able to do it at AFL.

VOTE 1 426.

Nick Smith is from Norwood who I support in the SANFL. Meeson is our ruckman their at the moment as he can't get a game for the Crows, but will obviously leave at the end of the year so we need a replacement.

Once 426 gets into the side he will surely take up 2-3 key positions on his own. Everyone else is getting a game now to see which one or two of them are worth keeping once the 426 reign of terror begins. :D

[lanky_wes]

i think he is just being saved for the finals. you know, all the other teams think they have a chance at the start of the finals, smith is unveiled and demolishes all before him with a simple swing of the foot. everyone gives in and hands smith the premiership (which he later gives to the club!)

just keeping our secret weapon until the right time!!

[Barry Schneider]

Gents,
Expect a visit from your idol.
He does work experience with SEN and was talking to Mark Doran yesterday in what looks like a regular gig.
I took the liberty of emailing Mark with a link to this thread so he could realise how important Nick is to the lives of Melbourne supporters.
Mark Doran emailed back to say he would bring this up with Nick next time he speaks to him on the radio.
Dress up and be on your best behaviour for the visit.

He was on yesterday afternoon so I presume next Thursday at around 3pm.But don't hold me to it.

Can the BigFooty server handle the wrath of 426?
Surely the entire place will just blow up in fear and excitment if my man happens to grace us with his presence.

I am still disgusted that he didn't get a game this week. What a friggin outrage.

All hail 426.

[Bartram_Class]

Surely they are just saving him for the Grand Final, it would be a disgrace for his talents to be wasted in any other game.

Hes a proven big game player.

thats right, maybe neale has been asking him to play all year and he has said he doesnt want anything less than a post season game or grand final. the quality of the opposition is just not worthy of 426 presence!

[Number32]

Guys I dont know what I was thinking when I Named myself Number32, It should of either been Number15 or Number426! His comeback is near I can feel it, I can smell it, I cant sense it.........I hope :confused:

[WakeUpTaz]

jeeze did he have 50 marks in his first game or something

On the contrary in fact, very much on the contrary.

I can see the headlines now:

"Smith misses 3 years of football, kicks 15 goals in 4th ever game as Melbourne thrash roos"

[Vandal]

I think they need to change this board to 'Melbourne Board - Official home of 426'. Mods get on it.

Here are some random facts about 426...

. 426 counted to infinity - twice.
- 426 doesn’t wear a watch, HE decides what time it is.
- There is no such thing as global warming. 426 was cold, so he turned the sun up.
- When 426 falls in water, 426 doesn't get wet. Water gets 426.
- 426 CAN believe it's not butter.
- 426 always knows the EXACT location of Carmen SanDiego.
- If at first you don't succeed, you're not 426.


(for those who are wondering they are actually Chuck Norris facts but keep it quiet ;))

Hes only warming PJ's spot in the team.

I didnt think he was all that bad yesterday, hes alright in the centre, we dont usually lose all that much with White off.

[AllStar7]

Jamar was **** again though.

I know you want to see 426 get a game, but that is no reason to make up lies.

Jamar was a huge reason for our second half blitz. He gave McLean and Jones first use of the ball, which is why he started on the ground in the second half and White sat on the bench. He was the dominant ruckman of the day, and did an excellent job blocking and shepparding for his teammates.

In pure rucking ability Jamar > PJ > 426
In pure magic 426 >>>>>>>>>>>> Nicholson >>>> PJ >>> Jamar :D

[Bartram_Class]

Took a beautiful mark in that last term also, right in front of the cheersquad.

Sadly, Robbo took out the rest of the pack in the process of going for a specky, and the mark wasnt payed to the big Russian.

We'll need a FF if Neitz doesn't come up....

[SouthSwans]

He gets enough publicity around here :p

[demonfire]

id say his last chance is if neitz doesnt pull up in time and daniher gives him one last shot before dunn comes in... although having to also replace rivers perhaps then dunn might go back as he can also play there and smith to go forward... that really is a long shot but we can all hope.

[goal sneak]

Don't tease

[Bartram_Class]

I suggest (demand) that we all revert to 426-ism. Stuff Christianity and co.

426 > Jesus

[The Great Gabsby]

Daniher has been dropping major hints about 426 playing if Neita doesn't pull up!!! Check out this article:

http://afl.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=display&articleid=291755


This could be his best chance yet! Go the great man!!

[goal sneak]

If 426 gets a game I suggest that we all give him 5 votes in Lonies BigFooty player of the year award. It is what 426 would want.

[Bartram_Class]

From afl.com.au

And if Neitz doesn't play his replacement could be 21-year-old Nick Smith, a 196cm ruckman/forward who has played just three games for Melbourne - all of them back in 2003.

"Smithy has been pretty solid in the VFL, he has been waiting for his turn so, who knows," Daniher said of what would be a surprise call-up.

Could it be?

We've waited long enough, unleash 426.

The key to all the talk about 426 is not those three magical numbers, but the fact that he is 21 and 196cm, have faith that the reverent will play the messiah

[AllStar7]

Great news for our BigFooty god.

If he gets named in the team on Thursday night, this place will go into meltdown.

Don't disappoint me Neale!

If i run into Neita I'm gonna pull out the crow bar and smash his knee caps in... hmm, is that going to far to get 426 a game. An ethical dilema that I cannot decide. Can someone help me out with this problem?
