Micky O.

The last of the generation that dragged us out of the dark ages.

Always love his work and he played through so much pain too so often.

Champion. The last games this year are going to be tinged with sadness every time I see him.

 

[halfback dasher]

Well done to a true champ.....for years when you looked at the swan,s .....it was true clubmen like him that you loved and admired.
WELL DONE MICKY O.......

I dont care!

MOL Deserves it!

 

[balldman]

My main reason behind going to as many of this years H& A season has been to get to seethe likes of Mickey O."Seen it coming for a while but it doesn't make it any easier".One of my favourite quotes from the interview.

I thank you now & will at every opportunity I get in the coming months,Mick.

Congratulations on a fantastic footballing career MOL.

Always a fan of players who give there all to one club and MOL has certainly done that with the Swans.

Hes played some great games against my mob in the past aswell and was always "The danger man" i often talked about when it came to discussing match ups for Eagles/Swans games.

All the best for retirement MOL and heres hoping for some more Micky O Magic before you hang up the boots...And congrats also on the upcoming 300th

 

[SM]

Didn't realise the Tigers game would be his 300th. Wanted to go because it's against my Dad's team, but now more so. Will definately try and get down for it.

I suspect Round 22 will be a hugely emotional game with presumably Barry, O'Loughlin and possibly Crouch playing their last game, so no matter what I'll get to it too.

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

Yeah im def going down for it now

 

[SM]

****!! It's the day before my Trials start!! And I'm doing City2Surf that day!!

 

[AG]

I'd like to see him off vs Geelong at ANZ. I enjoyed it when Kelly and Dunkley retired.

****!! It's the day before my Trials start!! And I'm doing City2Surf that day!!

Bloody trials!!

Damn damn damn.

 

[TheMase]

I am not going to say all the best, yada yada. I will save that for the end of the season.

Get back to work Magic, we are only half way through.

 

[SM]

I'd like to see him off vs Geelong at ANZ. I enjoyed it when Kelly and Dunkley retired.

I can't get to this one either. Looks like my last chance to see him will be vs Brissy, which this year is AFTER exams - last year it was the weekend before.

 

[bungee]

It's a sad day.

The first time i really remember him was in 95 when he bagged 4 against the Blues in a 72 point triumph, i knew he was going to be special!

Hopefully he makes it to 300 where ever it may be, i'll definately be there in rd 22 against the Lions to see him off.

Will be holding back the tears like many others i imagine

Me too. That was my first Swans game and I've been smitten by The Magic ever since. This is more than sad. It's the end of an era.

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

OMG i just watched the press conference
and when he starts crying about wanting to make his mum proud i have (i hate seeing me cry its to heart breaking) seriously I havnt cried like that in a long time i dont want him 2 go hes just awesome such a gentleman next time im see him im getting a hug and never letting go

and im sure he will wonder why this seemingly crazy woman won't let go of him

 

[gostk86]

He will get to 300 and be the first Swan ever to achieve it. Well played Micky O, premiership player and Swan's games record holder.

great player, is magic!!!

 

[Hooley McBoob]

Love you long time Mick!

His 300th game is on my birthday in Melbourne and I'm going with MalFan

 

[SM]

I saw him last year at the Crows match, when he and Kirk were going in - also saw Jolly and Barry - because I got there so early. This was when he was on crutches, I think the second or third week since the injury, and back then there was the belief he'd return that season. He gave me a big warm smile, but I was too nervous to say hi. He didn't have to acknowledge the gawking kid staring at him, but he did, and gave a warm smile, and that just meant the world to me, because I'm sure he could have ignored me, or stared back at me or something like that, but I dunno, I guess just the fact that he made me feel appreciated means that I rate him so much higher than those players you here about who don't give autographs.

 

[Dangas]

I will be at the G for sure

 

[vonn]

I will do everything in my power to go, even if it means getting grounded from going overseas with my friend.

Anyone see that mainboard thread?
Some people disgust me

 

[Dangas]

He sounds like a teenager so I wouldn't take much notice of him. His grand plan was to play Barlow instead of O'Loughlin in the forward line.

He has no idea what he is talking about

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

and im sure he will wonder why this seemingly crazy woman won't let go of him

I think im gonna have 2 go 2 a training session and see him
dont think idd have 2 many chances 2 see him one on one

def going 2 Club Champion this year
