The Missing Link? Guaranteed Flag in 2010

[cats2rise]

I miss the big fella. Probably one of my favourite players to put on the hoops in the past 10 years along with Rahilly, Hank, Jimmy, SJ and Rooke.

We would dominate if he still played for us. Potent in attack fo' sho.

 

[pinion]

yeah, it's like now we don't have anyone capable of kicking a hellicopter and not making the distance from 30m

if only we still had clarke, spriggs and tenace to provide him with quality forward 50 entries as well

 

[alfy!]

Who?

 

[hamG]

All he'd do is take away goals from David Haynes & Cam Thurley - they are our future until Todd Grima is ready.

Bring back Mr Natural

You've loved this photo for years. Is it still your wallpaper?

This proves how the selection of particular bits of info changes everything.

One could indeed have a picture of McCarthy marking a footy as their wallpaper. One could never, ever, however, have a picture of McCarthy kicking a football as their wallpaper.

Have the Chapman snap in the Grand Final as my wallpaper now but hold the WMP clip and the photo of this mark very close to my heart...

At first viewing I thought it was Hawkins and couldn't work out the post hahaha.

Even if it was Hawkins, this would still kinda make sense.
If Hawkins continues his improvement and takes his game to another level, Geelongs attacking power will increase dramatically.

Big forwards wearing the number 26. we have Hawkins now....look out for Tom - he's a star!!....Matt McCarthy ( lol).... Barry Stoneham (???) ..and it just flashed into my head that another big forward wore 26...Big Billy Ryan...now there's a guy who could really take a mark! Anyone got the famous photo of Ryan's huge hanger??? Be a great one to post here...takes your breath away.

 

[cats2rise]

Less Tom Hawkins and Bill Ryan. More Matt McCarthy.

Wow,I thought the Nick Nolte and Gary Busey mugshots were freaky looking.Big Mac has given them a run for their money.

 

[cats2rise]

Don't speak about our saviour in that way.

That is all.

 

[Inferno]

Ahhhh Matty McCarthy, notable for his one good match against Carlton back when they were consistently last. Good times...

 

[SJ]

Two matches in 2003 stood out for me too.

The photo above against West Coast at Skilled Stadium resulted in a draw, he played well that day.

He also played well in the same season against Melbourne at the MCG where conditions certainly didn't suit someone his size:

I'll try to get the highlights up of that first game too.

No Kent? Disgraceful.

 

[Catsace]

Amazing to see Paul Chambers kicking two crumbing goals....

Seemed on the highlights of that Demon game we got great results up forward with a long kick....we're a bit different now with the devastating handball running game we have nowadays. And Gary with lovely blonde hair too!

But Mat McCarthy surely has written himself into the pantheon of Geelong forwards who were great marks but questionable kicks. Cue Peter Johnstone, Ken Hinkley (when up forward circa 1990) and of course Kent Kingsley and maybe even Big Cam Mooney.

 

[hamG]

Hahaha McCarthy & Chambers dominating the forward line. Brilliant

 

[Hoffy95]

He's no Marcus Baldwin.

Speaking of which, didn't he slam Paris Hilton and Dannii Minogue? Good on him.
