Oppo Camp The Kent Kingsley Memorial Society of Spuds Who Play Well Against Melbourne

[Sylvia Saint]

Good to see Membrey not pulling another Wilkes on us yesterday.

I have a bad feeling about the week coming up. Last year the deadly duo of Dylan Buckley and Nick Graham combined for 5 goals. Dangerwood eat your heart out!

Levi Casboult to kick 7 straight today... #MFCSS

Think #MFCSS is in full effect today, know a number of people who have loaded up on Carlton on the punt

 

[Praetorian]

Matthew Wright in case no one recognises him

 

[Sellout Scully]

Matthew Wright in case no one recognises him

Not only was he kicking goals, but he was getting them all from the pocket and on the run.... A worthy nomination.

 

[Cannon82]

Eh, he can find the goals. He's no Leigh Harding.

 

[Tulip]

He was their top scorer last year, in the same way Dawes was for us in 2014.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Ah, was going to nominate Matt "Daicos" Wright but was beaten to the punch.

 

[Cannon82]

He was their top scorer last year, in the same way Dawes was for us in 2014.

Bit of a difference between a leaden-handed key forward who scratches away to barely reach 20 goals and a midfielder / forward flanker who does, though.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Does Daisy get inducted for that hanger?

 

[CTHORANGE]

Does Daisy get inducted for that hanger?

Difficult to say, he wasn't a spud at Collingwood, but he is at Carlton. He didn't do much else of note today though, except spray that shot for goal, which was expected.

 

[Kick Behinds]

I only discovered who Wright was last week.

Was equally shocked to find out that he also played for Adelaide.

Wrights a bit stiff to be in here

Wrights a bit stiff to be in here

Kingsley kicked 239 career goals and got a whole society named after him!

 

[pjfairbairn]

All week I waited for Geelong to pick Menegola, and I am convinced he gets 30+ touches and 2 goals. Knew he'd get picked for Round 3. Early crow.

 

[MUYB]

It's worth noting ahead of this weeks clash that the last time we played the Cats at Etihad (wizards home loan cup semi final, 2004), Kent Kingsley himself kicked 4 goals.

I think they're unfurling some gigantic banners of him before the game aren't they? In the same way that Essendon rename one of the ends after Lloyd.

But this week they'll both be the Kingsley end.

I was at that game. I remember it was Brock McLean and Kane Tenaces first games. Some of you may remember we took McLean at 5 despite Tenace being the more popular pick throughout the year. Anyway McLean got about 1 or 2 possessions and Tenace absolutely blitzed it, leaving 'Toumpas v Wines: The Prequel' to begin among some distressed and over reactionary Melbourne fans.

Turns out they were both spuds.

****, though - how bullish were we about McLean? I legitimately thought he'd be in the top 2-3 players in the competition around the end of 2006.

Yeah but when you lose all your pace through injury you're gonna have a bad time

 

[MUYB]

McLean was a damn good player pre-injury.

I remember him and Russian dominating clearances all day long.

 

[Headless]

^Jamar's peak was surely a few years after McLean's?

But yeah, that 2006 Elimination Final.

 

[Tulip]

Jamar's AA year came the season after McLean left. The halcyon days of Russian and Beamer.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Yeah McLean actually had an outrageous 2006 season, then got seriously injured Round 1 2007 (MFC style) and never returned the same player. Tenace never lived up to the hype.

Back on topic, Sam Menegola took us to the cleaners last time we met, somebody get his mugshot ready for later today.

 

[schmuttt]

McLean was the og dale thomas, great midfielder who was stuffed once his ankle injury came about.
