Autopsy Favourite player?

[mrmonkey]

Every time I have a favourite player they leave. Allen Jakovich in 94. Jeff Farmer in 01, then Woewodin in 02, then Cale Morton last year ..(Though I Garry Lyon from 95-99)

 

[mrmonkey]

Sorry forgot to mention current players..I think I will jump on the Cam Pederson band wagon next year...I highly recommend you hop on it too..plenty of room

 

[hulkhogan1]

Same as some of the others in this thread, my favourites at the time left, so I'm never having a favourite again (althought Viney would be a good favourite, I can never see him leaving.)

First it was Jeff Farmer, then Shane Woewodin, then Steve Armstrong, so I just gave up.

 

[maxmustard]

All time: Jakovich, Schwarz, Tingay and Yze.

Current: Garland, Gawn.

 

[Cannon82]

Still in ripping shape too - looks like he could still pull a Guernsey on

But for all the injuries... he was class and my favourite player at the time. Seems a trend that we Tingay fans migrated to the Ooze. Would be Jones now although he's not the thrilling player the other two were. Guess solid, hard-working and dependable is the new black when the club is a shambles.

The one injury

Supposedly sustained screwing his mrs in the shower, slipping and falling through the glass screen and cutting up the butt

Was listed on injury list as "buttocks" for a long time

 

[wowlace]

Jordie was mine, but he hasn't played a lot lately.

 

[Matt Davies]

Neita was a superstar.
Nowadays it is probably the downtrodden- Watts, Trengove and Toumpas

Unfortunately Yze really dropped off in the last few years, and Tingay was cooked after his 'shower incident'. But my god they were good in their prime. I've got more respect for Jones than any Melbourne player I've ever seen but I do miss having players like that.

The combo of ooze, white and robbo couldn't see their time was up

 

[Davide_117]

Mine were the ox 98-2000, then farmer and woewoedin, then yze, Sylvia and now probably watts

White gets forgotten a bit he was a good player. I remember getting increasingly pissed at Bailey in Yze's last game when he left him on the bench for half the last quarter when the whole crowd wanted him on.

 

[Chew Man]

Sean wight, Todd Viney, Ox, all before they became real gun players, of the current crop it is Tappy, either I finally picked a dud, or he's gonna come on late. I do hope it is the latter.

Yeah, it was sad watching Yze's last few seasons in a way. A bloke who could make the footy talk ended up shanking every 2nd kick and struggled to send it more than 25 metres. Bit gutted he couldn't get to the 300 mark.

Neita was a superstar.

Rd 1 2002 vs. Hawthorn. That bone-crunching hip and shoulder on Luke McCabe, and then the goal. One of my favourite football moments.






Sorry Luke.

Sorry Luke.

Trying to find the video now, do you no what quarter it was in?

 

[Benwah83]

Pretty sure it was the 1st or 2nd.

I went looking for the video a while ago on the net and couldn't find it

All players leave at some point. That's what happens. Until we perfect the cloning technology...

Is Dustin Fletcher evidence that perhaps Essendon have a cloning program as well as injecting?

Sorry Luke.

Was one of the best pieces of play I've seen (sorry to McCabe as well)

 

[thetank]

Barry Bourke.

Kicked a goal in Melbourne's last premiership, and can now sell me a car.

Barrie Vagg a close second for such a dirty surname.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

My first favorite player (that I can remember) was definitely Jeff White, Yze in a close 2nd - after those two it was James McDonald for a bit, now probably Mitch Clark.

 

[Brock 'n' Roll]

My first favourite was Allan Jackovich, I had a huge man crush on Brock Mclean. Now I would say Mitch Clark and Col Garland.

 

[d33my]

Garland for sure. I'm not a jumper wearer but if I was I'd get the 20.

Clark and Jones = 2nd.

The rest can G&GF

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Big Jim, Ooze, McLean, Jurrah and then Big Max.
