Goo Essendon - home of the GOAT mark

[Elmer_Hauser]

I’ll remember what I saw when I went to the ground.

History is littered with scumbags who are remembered and admired by millions for what they created/achieved.

I find it rephrensible how so many of you Geelong Flogs can casually gloss over/forget about that poor young woman whose death GAS was directly responsible for..

We all know it's only a matter of time before the campaigner is kicked out of the AFL Hall of Fame on the Barry Cable precedent.

He won’t be. He went to court and the matter was resolved, for better or worse.

He was responsible for giving her drugs. He was not responsible for her taking them. Hence he was not sent to jail. Argue with the court about that, not me.

Nobody can change what he achieved footy-wise. Ever heard of Caravaggio? A renaissance artist whose paintings hang in major galleries around the world, his work admired by millions? He was a violent drunk and murderer.

Your melting doesn’t change anything. In 100 years people will struggle to remember her name but they won’t forget Gazza. Blame human nature.

In the meantime…

simply put, that moorcroft mark will never be beaten. astoundingly impressive

 

[Wallaby]

Someone managed to find some old, grainy, shadowy, poorly filmed video (ABC) of the famous Winmar mark at Moorabbin - it's pretty good.

 

[Pistol Night]

Yeah because history remembers OJ Simpson mostly as a champion footballer for the Buffalo Bills and not a murdering scumbag

I remember him from The Naked Gun

The HS ratings were for 2000-2024. Smith might have the greatest mark ever, but it's before the measured time period.

Overrated, much like the underachievers of 99-01.

shifting the goal posts.. well that's never happened before!

 

[Cyclops]

Degenerate brainrot from the Hun here.

Jack Regan is the GOAT, Howes marks for Melbourne were better than most on the list, and Moorcroft had the marking skill of a toppling gnome.

Many better marks just from the Bombers. Van der Haar? Lloyd? I think Derek Kickett took a few speccies.

I remember him from The Naked Gun

Surely you can't be serious?

Why did Essendon choose a name that makes them sound like a terrorist organisation and why havent they changed it?

They bomb out in finals, so the nickname seems quite apt to me...

I don't think their original nickname in the 1890s would pass muster these days

Incidentally their current wikipedia page is great

"Gently in Manner, resolutely in execution" is their motto eh ? That can't apply to zackah surely ???
