Retired Mark Mercuri

[Wangawuti]

Came second in the Brownlow in 99....one of the smoothest movers I've seen play for Essendon. It's great to read that he's doing well.

Mercedes, Rolls Royce? Bah! He's a Ferrari.

Small, quick, ridiculously agile, effortlessly powerful, the epitome of class and like any good Italian car ends up braking down pretty severely, and costing far too much, but damn it was good while it lasted. You'd take that romance every time.

 

[Pweter]

You'd just sat back in awe with the way he made everything seem so easy and the way he saw the game so well.

I reckon Rama was nudging into the same territory when he was cut down.

Anyone remember his post GF on field interview '93? I don't think I've heard the word "sensational" used so much in such a short amount of time.

One of few players that you loved seeing the ball in their hands. What they'd do with it and the way they did it... All class my mercuri

 

[astrowizzle]

Loved him. Brings a tear to my eye every replay I watch. The real silk not the Hawks pretender

 

[Doss]

Might be the most naturally gifted Essendon player I've ever seen.

Never get sick of talking about Mercs. What a jet!
Glad to hear he is going well. Would be a great Open Mike subject.

Me three for the 93 prelim. And that roar was awesome!

Just highlights for me what I golden era for essendon I grew up in. You love footy so much when you are a kid and to have your team have a era like that was just great.

Sheedy. Wanganeen, Hird, Lloyd, Lucas, Long, Mercuri, Fletcher all time essendon greats plus the 93 flag against the our biggest rival and the best season ever in 2000!

Was mentioned by Lucas and Julian De Stoop they would like to try and get Mercuri on Friday Footy Panel. Alessio said he and Mercs went to round 1 this year.

Was in high school in 2000 when we they won flag best year ever. Teams shat them selves when they had to play Essendon I miss us being feared.

Yes truly silky, if only that dribble went through the goals '99 prelim............And yes we have another mercurial...RAZ !!!!!!!!!

Mercs was that good I've forgiven him for that.

Different class. Geese we were spoilt back then.

 

[Silverhead]

Yeah fantastic player, never heard about him since he retired. anyone got any news on what he's been up to?

I saw him in Noosa two weeks ago .. still looking trim and fit, he's hardly aged at all.
