To win just 2 games a season, is something special and an award for still coaching a side like Carlton. Why not a coach?

Brave man to face the daily ridicule and humiliation.

I see you don't have a reply button with your membership with BF. Maybe call geeks 2 u to see if they can fix it.

Whining? I did state that I thought it was amusing - hardly whining, rather entertained in a humorous sense.

If you're serious with this thread why would you have Eddie McGuire in the poll? Hell why not put Rick Hart in there? Or maybe Butters? Jeff Kennett perhaps?

Whilst I agree you've put in some worthy contenders I can't take it seriously if you put someone like Eddie McGuire in as a worthy recipient.

Ok - Left Field nomination.

Max Walker. One of the last players to combine football and cricket seriously at the absolute top level. Useful footballer - gun cricketer. Played plenty of VFL and Australian Test Matches at the MCG (incl the Centenary Test, where he did well).

Plus, one of the first 'Fan Favourite' legends with his crowd interactions.

Statue outside Bay 13, thanks. To be unveiled 'Onagoodweegend'.:D

On a serious note, the MCC has a criteria that statues recognize individuals withe extraordinary feats at the MCG.

So that pretty much rules out most of your list.

MCG was North's home ground for pretty much all of Carey's career. He played blinding footy there.

The Friday Night Footy element of the Gs history was pretty much started by Carey and co.
