Scape Goat If Neagle didn't play on...

[bomberman500]

No draft restrictions, so would have picked up The Bont in 2013..

Picked up the bont... missed out on Zerrett and potentially Heppell

sin411, how dare you vote for any option other than 'yes'?

I love this thread.

Knights could have won the flag and the club would have sacked him for Hird

Exactly. Neagle should have just gone back and had a set shot.

More mayo, Jon.

But Neagle played on, don't you get it?

Also, Runknisse. You disappoint me.

Im going to be controversial and say he was very hard done by. I mean a man of such epic proportions, with such a rotund, imposing figure - i dont think its actually scientifically feasable to ask a creature of these dimensions to stop, or even decelerate in a mere 3 meters, or even 10 meters.

Im going to say he didnt even play on, he was just slowly coming to a hault post mark. I reckon give the man 20 meters at minimum to slow to a stop. Buddy gets the buddy arc, why dosent poor Jay get the Jay declination?

just another case of us getting the rough end of the pineapple im afraid.

with 11 goals and 9 behinds for his last year on the list, there is a very large chance he still misses the shot regardless of playing on.

Yes but that is not the gag here!

Logic be damned.

Without performing any research, and I'll ignore the analysis of anyone who does going forwards, I'd say Jay played on 9 times and missed but his 11 set shots went straight through the big sticks.

 

[Doss]

If the goals were a set of two connected golden arches instead I bet he would have never missed.

11 goals... that would put him reasonably high on our goalkicking lists the last few seasons

I am also of the belief that by Neagle playing on he put a stop to any hope we had with Gumbleton and thus the 6 consecutive premierships we would have ended up winning. Gumby was so upset when Jay played on, he jumped up in such rage that his 99% mended spine just exploded. Thus we had to play Alwyn as CHF and Knights got sacked and we got Hird and got Dank and got WADA'd and here we are.

**** you Jay

Jay Neagle
Neagle rhymes with Beagle.
Beagle.
Beagle is a dog.
Dog.
You know who else is a dog?
That's right, Sam Mitchell.
Mitchell has 8 letters in his name.
You know what else has 8 letters in its name?
That's right, Clarkson.
8 divided by 8 is 1.
The illuminati has 1 eye.
Jay Neagle is Illuminati confirmed.

If Neagle hadn't played on, we wouldn't have this thread and our lives would be immeasurably and unimaginably poorer. Give the man a medal - maybe the 2012 Brownlow....more deserving than Mitchell or Cochin, I think.

If Neagle hadn't played on, Hawthorn wouldn't have won the past 3 flags.

Round 1, 2010. Essendon are dominating Geelong when Neagle takes a mark inside 50, plays on, immediately gets tackled, injures himself. Geelong seize momentum and win the game.

If Neagle didn't play on, we would of beaten Geelong, had a better 2010, Knights wouldn't have been sacked, meaning that Hird wasn't made coach, nobody brought Dank to the club, we wouldn't have lost Ryder, would of built up a team just stronger as we should have now, and we'd be challenging for a flag.

So the entire saga is all Neagle's fault. Correct?

Um no. If we were good enough we would've reversed the momentum.

Couldnt. Neagle injured himself so we didn't have a target

He averaged over 2 goals a game then. We didn't have anyone else to kick to.
