View Full Version : Mark McVeigh 200 Games
Hasn't this one slipped under the radar. The Herald Sun devotes three full pages to Thomas and O'Brien because both play their 100th GAMES this week. Not a mention of Mark McVeigh playing his 200th. Congratulations on a fine career "Spike", the Herald Sun is a joke for missing this one
forgot about this. Herald Sun was always a joke anyway

To be fair, we are playing Sunday and Pies are tonight. We'll most likely see a fluff piece on Sunday.

Saw McVeigh last night in Elwood, he has even had a haircut for the special occasion! Does he have 2 kids? was walking around with a few last night & a mother or mother in law.
Good luck in the 200th Spike

Congratulations. He's had a bit of a tough time of it the last couple years due to injury but he was one of our shining lights when things were going bad in the middle of the decade.

Well done Spike. It would have hurt him being a young player not being able to get into our great side in 2000, but he's done very well in the years we've been down.

200 is indeed a fine effort ,not sue he has to many hair cuts left in him though!

200 game player, yet still very inconsistent. If I was to make a team of worst 200 game players, he'd nearly get a gig.
Ok, maybe a tad harsh. Hope he can find some consistent form for the rest of the year, good luck!

hasn't gone bald yet, thank the lord
Makes me sad about the state our of supporter base, that a great essendon man is playing his 200th game, and it took a Geelong supporter to start a thread on it.
Well dont Spike on a fine career.

Well done Mark. He deserves all the praise he gets this week. He has been and will continue to be a great contributer to the club. He should be very proud of his efforts because I know I am.

Congrats on a great career. I absolutely love McVeigh, its a shame that he played during such an unsuccessful period for us, IMO could have been a much better player and us a better side if Sheeds had blooded him in middle.
