Roast Most disliked ex-Cat?

[Bangers and Mash]

It's the off season. I'm bored. Lets spice things up around here with a provoking thread guaranteed to divide opinion and cause arguements!

Come on! Who holds a grudge? Who is an all-loving hippy?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Leigh Colbert. For me he is just as bad as Sol Campbell in the being a campaigner department.

 

[Stan The Caddy]

Leigh Colbert is a dog! This was an easy question.

 

[Rainfall]

Tom Harley is a dickhead

 

[Teriyakicat]

Hahaha!
You need a "why can't we choose all of them" option, Bangers and Mash

I think I might stay out of this one but will eagerly anticipate some fireworks!

 

[Catdog]

Der wayne Russell for me!

 

[dazbroncos]

Tom Harley is a dickhead

To each their own but them be pretty strong words for a 2 time Premiership Captain. I get his efforts in the media have not impressed many - myself included - but without his leadership and grabbing the playing group by the aggots - along with a few others - we very well might not have 3 in 5.

Not just in the winning either, but the creation of that culture we are supporters are proud of today.

Just saying…

GO Catters

why would anyone hate tom harley or sam newman?

even gary ablett for that matter

 

[Stan The Caddy]

Hey Bangers and Mash you should change the settings so that people can see who each other have voted for!

 

[JUBJUB]

Who is Mark Thomson and what position did he play ?

 

[thegerman]

Torn between two, Colbert and Murphy. One is obvious, but Murphy was just a sea gull, didn't give a shit about the club, and really lacked the leadership of what a high priced senior player should have.

A major disappointment.

Senior or Junior?

Yeah but at least he didn't accept the captaincy and then decide to walk out on us though. I honestly don't hate very many people but Leigh Colbert gets my blood boiling!

He left the club in a mess, which we actually recovered from quite quickly but no thanks to him though.

 

[Whit3y]

both are one in the same.

but to answer ur question refer to the votepoll

Votepoll isn't clear on which, but they aren't one in the same, junior chased the money and turned his back on the club so he can be disliked.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Wasn't Murphy ringing up Carlton the night before we were playing them and telling them our tactics. Preety low.
Tom Harley was a great captain but he is so self serving and such a suck up while also being so uninteresting I can't stand him anymore.
Was such a dog act when Colbert left. Was so demoralising for the club at the time.
Have no beef with any of the others.
Always hated Bruce Linder for some reason. Think it was his face or something.

 

[thegerman]

didn't we get Murphy as part of a trade and he didn't even want to play for Geelong but had to for that year in question?

Quite embarrassing to think of some of the names we use to recruit. The off cuts that others didn't want to keep

Didn't he go back to Carlton after being traded to us?

Will have to look at the play of that trade once I've returned home.

I find it hard to hate a guy that allowed us to net us Cameron Mooney and Corey Enright.

Looking back on that trade, I think we won out of it even though Spriggs and Bray didn't work out.

Enright = 3 premierships, 2 B+F, 5 X AA
Mooney = 3 premierships, 1 X AA, leading goal kicker in '07 & '09


Colbert = Hmmmm, did he get his pilot's licence after he left?

Not trying to disrespect that achievement mind you...

Yeah we did really well out of the trade but no one could have known that at the time and neither could he. As our captain he left us in our greatest hour of need and I'll never forgive him for that!

Of course in hindsight it worked out tremendously well for us but it still doesn't change any of the facts at the time.

Was Enright part of it? He was pick 47, so either way, plenty of clubs could have grabbed him before we did (including of course, ourselves).

I can't believe Colbert is out polling the maggot, Justin Murphy.

As much as I despised Colbert for deserting the Cats, it does appear he had it rough with certain veteran players refusing to acknowledge him as captain, and Colbert has behaved well since he left the club.

But I will never forget or forgive Murphy for deserting the Cats on that fateful day when Milburn knocked Silvagni out. He refused to walk off with his "team mates" and thus demonstrated where his allegiances lay.

Edit: just read other posts. I am not alone!!

 

[Sttew]

It will be interesting to see what love is left for Bundy. The way he exited the club and the timing were plain bad

He was who we picked up with that pick.

When I made my initial post it was done with my tongue planted firmly in my cheek. I was having a dig at Colbert and North.

Stan The Caddy is quite correct (and I think you are alluding to it as well) in saying we weren't to know how it would work out.

After all, Spriggs and Bray both illustrate that argument nicely.

On top of that, the timing of Colbert's departure was piss poor.

I try not to think of Justin Murphy as an ex-Geelong player.

He did. He flew me Syd-Melb on Tiger a fortnight ago.

I have no hate for him. Or pretty much anyone else for that matter tbh. Footy is a business, they can go where they like.

Yep that just about leaves Justin Murphy in a class of his own,he gets my vote.
