Washed Up

[Gaben]

Absolutely astounded we’re halfway down page 2 and Chad Morrison hasn’t been mentioned.

What a waste of ******* space he was.

I got you fam

Seeing Derm on the Front Bar last night brought back some fun memories.

The Tip Top and banana ads, his antics on the ground......

I was 14 when Derm came to the club at the start of 95 and had always been a fan. Would have been awesome to have him from the start.

I knew Derm was a rabbid Pie supporter as a kid and have always loved seeing players play for the clubs they grew up barracking for, not just Pie supporters, much like the father son rule.

Derm was good for us too. Not only did he kick 30 in 15 games he helped a young Sav have his best year in the AFL. The one thing Sav really lacked was a touch of mongrel.

Mongrel was something Derm definitely wasn't lacking in.

But in reality Derm was washed up by the time he got to the Pies, and who knows what we would have picked up with the number 10 selection?

So what other players do you think where washed up by the time they landed at the Pies, or wished we'd picked up a year or two earlier?

Would also like to hear a few more stories about Derm with the Pies. Be they good, bad or just plain ugly.

Brereton was a great player, a truly great player, but I will never consider him a Pie.
It's great he got a few games for his childhood club though, I don't begrudge him that.

Totally agree. Will always be a Hawk.

Woewodin finished 2nd in the Copeland while at the Pies.

If you look up "outside" in the dictionary there is a picture of him in a Collingwood jumper.

I do but only when talking to Hawthorn supporters.

The look on their faces is priceless.

Thats why i said arguably, he was much better at Richmond, probably one of the top 10 players in the league but when he got to us and then to Brisbane he was not quite as good. He was a student teacher at our school when i was in about year 9, you should have seen all the girls fawn over him! it was like the pied piper!

Difference being early 80's Tigers were a very good side. Not sure you could say the same of us by the time he got to us in 83 when he came to us.

Baiting Hawks supporters, as always, is acceptable practice.

 

[bunter]

Should have targeted Paul Roos instead.

Probably had the “no dickhead policy” in force

 

[Mr Pie]

Richard Osborne?

Played 29 games over 2 years and kicked 20 odd goals, only thing i really remember him doing was a wrecking job on Joel Smiths knee.

Was a decent forward for a couple of years at the Doggies.

Daniel Wells.

We targetted both. Pert was the one we are able to get.

 

[sr36]

How is that ironic? I'm not bagging out all fat people, just the paid professional ones where it's a requirement of their job to be fit.



Absolute tripe. Of the 10 games he played in 2017, 2 of them he couldn't even make it to quarter time and was more detrimental than helpful, of the other 8 only one of them was a genuinely good/great game. So who were his 8 games better than that played a full season? About the only bloke he had a better season was Chris Mayne.



What a surprise, fans don't embrace a 600k mercenary who couldn't even be bothered to rock up to the club in shape and has since mashed together the most underwhelming 14 games in recent history.



Yeah, but he doesn't play. And when he does, he is unfit and usually ends up injured. Only thing he makes us is 600k a year worse off.

May want to work on tone.

Yeah his abs are a bit flabby.

Yeah his abs are a bit flabby.

Real men don't go out with a six pack, they take a slab.

What about Nathan Buckley? /s

 

[Jafo]

Looks like the Prince of WA might be on the outer now too if he can’t even be named as an emergency.

 

[Kreme Pie]

What about Nathan Buckley? /s

Yeah, he was a shadow of his former self when he came to the Pies. He never progressed from the lofty heights of winning the 1993 Norwich rising star.

6 Copelands, 7 AA, 1 Brownlow, 1 Norm Smith pale in comparison to his time at the Bears.

Drafting an injured Gerard Healy in 1991 only for him to never step on the track

His first game for us was bloody good though!

I remember leaving that game thinking Cummings for the Coleman and he kicked 1 more goal for the club.

Unlike some of the guys in this thread he lived up to everything he told us he would do .

Neil Peart played for us before the Tiges...they got him when he was "washed up!"
