Toast Shannon Hurn - 200th

[Forward Press]

Apologies if there is another thread for this but I haven't seen anything about our captain playing game number 200 this weekend.

Glad he chose football and I hope we can reward him with game 201 the next weekend.

Post your favourite memories of Bunga here.

Most will go with the long bombs, but here's mine:



Set the tone, and we secured a win away from home.

We need more of this from Hurn.

hopefully he ends up as a premiership player for us.


Not a superstar but when he plays well, we are playing well. After a slow start to the year, bunga is finally playing some of his best footy. The skipper is averaging 18 disposals, 4 rebound 50's, 2 inside 50's, 361m gained and all at 80% de.

Was just thinking that myself.. And hurns was longer.

Franklins was good- but the goal gets added hype because of the fact it was the last quarter, and was a big goal in separating the two sides.

So was hurns, it was a massive momentum push for us going into half time - but 2nd quarter goals aren't important, apparently.

My favourite hurn moment is watching him kick out from full back actually.

How many times do you see us kick into the back pocket after a kick in? Pretty rarely with hurn, he just picks up the ball and hits a guy lace out outside 50 and we're on our way. Such a luxury not many sides have.

He may only get it 15 other times or so a match, but his kicking in is so crucial. Loved him from his first kick in our magnificent jumper. Congrats on 200 Bunga!

Hurn kick in to NN tap down to Rosa kick to Emac who kicked the winner against the Saints.

could bunga push to the 300-275 game mark? If all goes well he will 33/34 and he has been a bit durable in his career. After a dip (due to circumstances) he has finally got back to his best.

He could do it. It depends if he slows down a lot in the next couple of years and with the size of his frame he probably will unfortunately.

true but if he can cut down a bit he might be a shot. I think his kicking is and alays be his main asset and if that goes down in the next couple of years, then he probably will call it quits.

How come you go in descending order when referring to the games (300-275) but ascending when you refer to his age (33-34)? It's weird.

Damn I forgot bunga once had hair.

 

[Mighty Eagles]

Congratulations Bunga!

Huge fan, was saying from 2008 that he will succeed Glassy - glad he has, thoroughly deserves it.

 

[Quinz]

More long range goals needed from Bunga. Haven't been many lately.

His kick ins are a work of art though, when our press is on song and we can get that kick out straight to 60, look out.

Damn I forgot bunga once had hair.

He didn't. They're all shopped.

 

[eagles rule]

I liked his hit on Stringer last year as a fav moment in recent times .

 

[WCE_phil]

I personally think bunga has already started to slim down unfortunately and his kicking range has also dropped 5-10 metres so far. You'll notice that if he's trying to kick a long range goal his range is now 60 metres really as a max where as in years gone by he could kick it 60 metres quite easily. Happy 200th bunga and i certainly think he can get to 250 games but almost no chance of making 300.
