Who do you think your club will miss next season?

[brissy_lionsgal]

I was just wondering who other club's supporters think that their club will miss, through retirement or trading, next season.

I think next season that the Lions will miss Molloy and Craig Lambert next year. Lambert, for his toughness in the packs and Molloy for his toughness against other players.

 

[Drakey]

Rehn & Caven

 

[brissy_lionsgal]

Why did adelaide let those two go Drakey?

 

[Mags]

Willo!

 

[gocatsgo]

No-one.

Woo Hoo!!

 

[walshy1993]

gocatsgo
i bet you wont miss anyone
could have got rid of the whole team and it wouldnt make a difference

 

[gocatsgo]

Always the comedien Walshy heh!?!?!?!

We got rid of the crap and kept the good.

Possibly Paul Lynch could be someone who we'll miss, but he couldn't play a full game during his whole career at Geelong, so I doubt it would change elsewhere.

 

[crowz4eva]

Caven retired, rehn waled out

 

[jod23]

We will miss Mckenna badly, so much class so much leadership one of the greatest halfback flankers the game has ever known. Its sad when there cut down in there prime.

Chris Lewis could've and should've kept playing we missed him for the remainder of the season and we will miss him next year. Last inaugaral Eagle, he oozed class.

And Mitchell White all australian CHF

 

[sainter]

I will miss all our players

- Sierakowski had one of the biggest hearts of all players at the club
- McLaren will more than likely blossom at the kangaroos
- Carr's improvement from last year was enormous. If he was to continue to improve at this level, Freo will be very well of.
- Cranage has showed glimpses of brilliance amongst loads of inconsistency. Knowing our luck, he will put it all together at Carlton immediately on arrival.
- Darryl Wakelin (and Shane more than likely) are big losses to our defence. We will be severely stretched down back next year and will be heavily reliant on our forwards kicking big scores

I am sad to see all players leave us. None of this current group will make me cringe more than in 1995 when Tony Lockett put on the swans guernsey for the first time.

And we did do rather well out of trading this players so I am not complaing.

Everitt-Gehrig-Burke-Hall-Wakelin sounds like a pretty handy goal to goal line to me! And that's not taking into consideration any lateral thinking by Blight either.

 

[Bloodstained Angel]

Craig O'Brien and Peter Filandia (both retired) will be sorely missed at the Swans.

The club thinks differently, but personally I will miss Ryan O'Connor as well.

Footy needs more fat bastards ....

 

[Shinboners]

Speaking of the slimness-challenged, I still miss the sight of Mark Roberts loping down the wing, taking a couple of bounces.....mind you, he was deceptively fast for a man his size.

 

[JUBJUB]

WALSHY - The Bombers would be worried now that the star player Peter Berbakov has gone.How will they cope ?

 

[JUBJUB]

Geelong would miss Barry Stoneham but I think he'll still keep being named in the team even though he's retired.

 

[Bloodstained Angel]

yeah Mark Roberts will be missed too !

All the fat ones are going now - a shame.

Lockett and Dunstall are long gone
Boris is gone too

Only Scotty Cummings remains - but there is hope for the future

Dean Rioli

 

[Pessimistic]

I'll miss Richard Taylor, even though he didn't get many games last year - good luck to him at west coast !

 

[walshy1993]

dean rioli has a lower skin fold percentage than dustin fletcher
and thats true

 

[Bloodstained Angel]

yeah I know walshy - I'm only having a bit of fun

seems he can slim down almost as fast he blows out.

 

[sandie]

The 3 players you mentioned all ex Bombers.

Mantis

 

[Eagle_Fan]

Molloy's still playing isn't he? And Glenn Archer more than fills his shorts.... Haselby better watch himself too.

On field we'll really miss Mitch. He has been the best delivery to Scotty (solid, not fat BTW

) for the past two years, I guess it'll make it difficult for him.

Off field, we'll miss Bluey SO much (if he leaves). We've offered him a coaching position, but it seems everyone else wants him too.... At least he'll be back when the 'master plan' comes to fruition....

 

[brissy_lionsgal]

I'd heard somewhere, can't remember where, that Brisbane were after Bluey as an Assistant Coach, along with Mark Roberts.

 

[Richmondfan#1]

Harro is the only one to miss (and I will miss him). Well, I'll look on the bright side-at least it wasn't Daffy.

 

[Shinboners]

Mark Roberts would be a good pick up for Brisbane as an assistant coach. Denis Pagan used him as an "unofficial" assistant coach when he played for us (he would often point things out to players during the breaks between the quarters and chat to Pagan about what the opposition were doing) and said that given the right grounding, Roberts has the potential to be a very good coach.

 

[emma]

I will miss Michael Collica, he only played a handful of games this year in the seniors but always played to his ability, good luck to him at west coast!!
Go the Hawks in 2001
