Preview Geelong V Essendon Sat May 19th @ MCG 4:35 pm

Agree. How many times do we need to see sides get crushed in the media all week, only to see them then play their best, most intense, competitive performance of the year?

Not that often, to be honest - it just tends to stick in the mind more when it does. IMO bad form begets bad form, but we discount it because we expect it.

I'd rather play a side coming off a thrashing still trying to pick up the pieces, than one that's on a bit of a roll.

7-8 years ago, say no more- back then HMac and MClark were stars

Neither of them were ever stars

Why you lyin.......

 

[you pick one]

The Sam Simpson selection*. Got two legs and can stand on them?

*No offence Sam, just suggesting you were a year or three too early.

Mark O'conner,same.

I am really nervous about this game, the s**t that has been thrown at Essendon this week, they are going to come out breathing fire, must get early goals and snuff the fire out, they still have good players and if the belief starts to come back then it could become a very dangerous game.

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Who played on Murdoch?

No one..... and no one won

 

[iameviljez]

Mark O'conner,same.

And Zuthrie, and Buzza. Still, we just have really limited team depth - though a bit less this year, with Stewart stepping up and the recruitment of Fogerty, Kelly and Ablett.

Why you lyin.......

Mitch Clark was very close in his first year at Melbourne. Went at almost three sausages per game in a side that won four games for the year. This was back when Gold Coast and GWS were absolute floggings-in-waiting.

Woewodin won a Brownlow.......even s**t trucks go ok occasionally

Haha, he cops s**t he doesn't deserve because he won a Brownlow he didn't deserve.

Clark was never a star, but he was a very good footballer when he wasn't, well, ****ed.

I remember Jason Mooney burning for us for about the first ten games of his career at Geelong, and then seemingly never, ever, ever finding that form again.

So we agree.......he was NEVER a star

Haha, the notion of "star" is a very... relative term. I think you were suggesting, though, that he was nowhere near it.

I never took much notices of Hamish but did see a fair bit of Clark and agree with your analysis,although for one year 2009 Clark was almost unstoppable as a mobile ruck for the Lions but the body never let him back it up.

I nearly won lotto......I was close, but I didn’t win it. Does that mean I won lotto? You know.....cause I was close

 

[iameviljez]

I nearly won lotto......I was close, but I didn’t win it. Does that mean I won lotto? You know.....cause I was close

That's a very binary, open-and-shut 1-0 definition of achieving a goal, though. On the other hand, if I aim to become a millionaire but save $999k, then yes, I'm not a millionaire, but the fact that I am close **does** matter...

 

[you pick one]

No one..... and no one won

That sounds like code for I don't know.

Am I qualifed as a mechanic l if I only complete 3 years of a 4 year apprenticeship???? I mean, that’s pretty close

I’ll admit he was a pretty good player for a very short period of time .....now you can admit he wasn’t a star

Man, I loved Jason Mooney when he was with us - always rated him higher than Cam when they were running around for Geelong together. I remember he laid one of the best bumps I've ever seen - can't remember who it was, but he hit him hard! Think his knees ****ed out on him in the end.

 

[Mr Blicavs]

Actually he lined up on Appleby and spent most of the time on Mayne.
Mayne flogged him........hows that?

woewodin wasnt sh***. Not clsoe to best player in the comp worthy. But still a pretty decent mid.

jason mooneys first season with us was pretty good and then he got injured and that was it.

gees this is a horrible argument. Lotto is binary -yes or no whereas playing ability is not.

dude understand the difference between binary and non binary statements and then you wont post comments that make you look stupid.

He spent the first quarter on Appleby,I'm not sure about most time on Mayne,but even so that's a coaching decision.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I remember when he debuted for Essendon in 2010 or 2011. The football media were in raptures over him

Was our leading goal kicker 3 years in a row iirc then the Dogs came in and pinched him off us.

Thankfully we got Merret with the Crameri pick so we did pretty well in the end.

I’m not the one having threads crested about them slowie .......
