Who should Have the Next Statue at MCG

[Masher]

Who would be the most worthy AFL player to have next statue

 

[GROTTO]

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.

 

[Tiger2709]

Is this a joke, that list looks more like the FBI most wanted list, more than players that deserve statues.

For a statue you need to be great both on and off the fiekd IMO, maybe Plugger is worthy though.

Eddie McGuire???!! FMD that's hilarious, surely this is a piss take thread if you nominate a guy for the poll for a statue at the G that has not played at the top level.

Good old BF never ceases to amaze.

Give the names you believe are worthy instead of whining

Where’s the Lance Franklin option?

 

[Carson Dial]

Looking at the list I’m perplexed why Ted Bundy has been overlooked....

He's in Other

Give me a Freo name?

Matthew ‘The Pav’ Pavlich, pretty sure your club approached him but he declined based on wanting to be with a club with a more realistic chance of a Premiership.

Had the Demons retained the services of Jimmy Toumpas & Jack Watts for just one more season then it'd last likely be a race in two but ..

All-time record for goals kicked on the hallowed turf ... Matthew Richardson. It's time to bronze The Cho ..

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.

And Chuck Manson and that guy from wolf creek, or Hanibal Lectre himself! Sheesh!

I know our country has abundant natural resources but can we afford to squander all that on Pav's hooter?

 

[Carson Dial]

Nothing in comparison to what’s been squandered on other hooters I would say..

 

[Carringbush2010]

Can think of a list off the top of my head:

Peter McKenna
Lou Richards
Lance Franklin
Maurice and Cyril
Kev Sheedy
Jock McHale
Royce Hart
Peter Hudson
Judd
John Todd
Allan Jeans
Tom Hafey
Gordon Coventry
Ross Glendinning
Shaun Burgoyne
Polly
Phonse Kyne
Barry Cable

Pretty sure none of the above have a statue at the G

 

[Sprout]

Definitely Eddie. Holding up a suitcase of cash sitting opposite Joffa in the hot seat.

 

[Thrawn]

Kouta's going to be real pissed if he gets a statue, only for the engraver to misspell his name!

James Hird? Maybe one in front of a Chemists Warehouse.

 

[Wallaby]

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'.

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.

 

[schmuttt]

Plugga surely

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.

Other, rightfully leading the poll

Then why didn't you vote for him?
