Toast The goodbye Jordan Roughead. Come back soon. thread.

[X_box_X]

Starting his run up from the start of the long jump track at the Rio Olympics, Roughy soars half way across the world to take a soaring, powerful, all-mighty mark against the Hawks. He almost severs the goal umpire's thoracic spinal cord as the goal umpire is forced to look directly over his head as Roughy's delightful kick goes straight over his head.

Kicking a goal from beyond the 50m arc at the Whitten Oval that had so much momentum, energy and superhuman prowess that it ended up sailing over the goal umpire's head some 3,402km away at Subiaco.

That moment we knew, this time, things would be different.

That goal was awesome. It was like what Royce Hart used to do [ok, a little more often, but great timing]

He'll have a further 21 premiership mates come Sep 2019. He's your classic Moneyball player and I think the OP is wrong, he will be a valuable and well loved addition to a already strong list. Does Leigh Brown ring a bell.

Good luck to you, Mate. You'll have to get over us first.

Good luck to you, Mate. You'll have to get over us first.

I wanted him to succeed but a big man who can't take contested marks is a useless as **** on a bull. Thank God his only contested mark ever, happned at the most pivotal moment in the grannie. Thank you Jordan for single handedly winning our gf.

While I agree with your overall sentiments, a bit harsh to say that he only ever took one contested mark that being in the GF.
He also took a contested mark in the EF, played on and kicked a goal in probably his best highlights reel footage.
He also took a contested mark in the 3rd quarter of the SF and converted in the middle of our purple patch in that game.

Not much else, but those three are all memorable contested marks.

For the record, Roughy took 158 contested marks for us. Fair's fair.

He took a lot of good marks, the issue was that as his career went on, he converted less and less of them (or so it seemed)

 

[Wocka]

A true Bullgod.

Thanks

 

[Dogs Rule]

Will never forget how important he was on 2016. Legend.

I think his future career as a French book/cafe owner is assured.

 

[Sentinel]

Congrats on a great career Roughie, both with the Bulldogs and the Pies. A terrific person and as a lifelong Bulldogs man I hope he returns to the club in some capacity one day.

 

[ExRoyboy]

A pivotal player in our 2016 Premiership win and through that whole Finals series. It was a shame to see him leave for Collingwood, especially when you consider how much we need good key defenders. He certainly got the most out of himself and left nothing in the tank. Congratulations on a great career Roughy.

Remember when Wheeler brought back Big Demps as a ruck coach? Roughy is the Demps of today. Do it Bevo, and while you're at it, Dicko or Lindsay as goal kicking coach, thanks.

Stuff it, bring him in as a goal kicking coach too, it could hardly make things worse.

That grab in the middle after JJs bs overturned goal is one of the more underrated moments from Grand Final day

 

[NBates]

Just 'thanks'' Roughie for contributing to something so special and that I thought I'd never see. PS: the door's always open at the WO!

 

[Anja_Nees]

Solid career all up. It’s a shame he had so many issues with his body but it’s great that he got a pretty good three year run at Collingwood.

I know there was some angst when he left but given his family connection and history at the club I hope he considers himself a doggy first and foremost.

 

[Jeff 1975]

Roughie was an unassuming type and what I liked was he just got on with it
Huge loss for us and he did very well at the woods
He gave my Grandson a high five at the G banner line up – great work
He provided great memories for all of us
Good luck in the future Roughie

 

[WAbulldog]

Roughead always will ba a bulldog through and through in my eyes.

Never underestimate Roughies impact at the club, he was one of the main voices during the infamous McCartney times which saw change when it had to be done.
