Your lovable hack?

[Redemptionin09]

Sorry but we don't love any of the hacks that play for Essendon and only accept players with ability. Rather than being amused by a hack running around in our jumper we are disgusted.

Perhaps this attitude is why we've won 16 flags and the Bulldogs have been the cellar dwellars of the last 80 years.

Aaron Henneman ring any bells GuzzLG???

haha laycock
what a hack
but did kick a nice goal, you know things are goin well at bomberland when lazycock is kicking goals from 50 on an angle

 

[see see]

Mark "what a great athlete and a really nice bloke by all reports" Bolton anyone?

 

[GuzzLG]

So you only like a handful of players at Windy Hill then Guzzler?

Dyson, Johns and Laycock. Only 3 hacks.

 

[Omegaman]

Troy Luff, Troy Luff and Troy Luff. Watching him at a Tiges game crawl on hands and knees as the ball rolled towards goal, when a simple slide would have done the trick was priceless. And Andrew Dunkley whenever he lined up on goal. The man was born to jump, spoil and handball ONLY.

Not so many in the current crop...LRT?

Fat coward = Lovable hack

you are deadset dropkick
he was soooo good, as said never got fit enough

 

[Redemptionin09]

Another of Geelong hacks is Marcus Baldwin! LOLOLOLOLOL

God he made me cringe, but laugh at the same time

Kicked a bag of goals in his first game, then did nothing for the rest of his career.

Your arguement of him not being a hack because he was fat reminds of the rationale Kramer used with Seinfeld in the "Levels" episode. You know when he said the bet was off becuase he knew he could build the levels in his apartment but didn't want to anymore!

Being fat does equal a hack in todays football. As it means a lack of application to the task at hand.

 

[Catsace]

Yeah but he wasn't a lovable hack, he was a frustrating hack. Could kick 8 goals against Dustin Fletcher one week and then get towelled up but a nobody the week after.

Absolutely dead right! Kicked 8 against the Kangaroos in Rd 2 12006, then in that infamous Round 3 game, he was held goal-less by that doyen of full backs, in Zac Dawson...

Must say, the 2005 semi-final against the Swans saw Geelong's forward line consist of Kingsley, Gardiner and Playfair...my how times have changed.

Paul Chambers for some unknown reason, played about 10 games for the Swans in 2005, was dropped, then retired late in the H & A season, thus denying himself a possible tilt at a flag had an injury occurred to Jolly or Ball. Strange indeed was that decision by him, he was only about 24-25 or so.

Peter Johnstone? Would take 15 marks a game, have 12 shots on goal and kick 1 goal 3.

A hack is somebody without skill, lots of application.
Rioli had skill to burn, no application.

So he is the exact opposite of a hack.

By not being fit we mean his contstant hamstring problems.

Rioli while fat would be in your team of the decade.

Geelong don't really have any hacks but I'll say most of the Freo side.

Shannon Byrnes i think holds that moniker at Geelong, if he can force his way back in the seniors again...

Peter Johnson, last round in 1982, marks 10 metres out at the Hickey stand end, a goal would draw against the Pies....he misses. Great mark, couldn't kick at all.

I'll ignore your insult as this thread was not intended to create negative arguments. Frankly I should have known that some Bomber supporters would be arrogant enough to suggest that there are not, and never have been, any lovable hacks on their list(You haven't done this yet).

Rioli had silky skills. That is undeniable. He was not "soooo" good though precisely because he never got fit enough.

His lazy cowardly attitude made him a hack. He was fat, and got paid out for it. You cant tell me you never had a crack at big red. This is much the same, except big red wasn't a coward.

I only suggested the man, from what you can see in my first post about him, because of his amusing failure against the Dogs in a game. There are more obvious hacks that have emerged on the Bombers list in times past. Kep is an example of such a player. He was a lovable hack.

From the Eagles:

Rowan Jones - had less talent in his whole body than Chris Judd had in his little toe on his non-preferred boot, but gave 110% every time he walked onto the field. Hated seeing him with the ball in his hands but loved watching him dive on loose balls. If he hadn't retired last season we'd be top 8 this year. Well, maybe not.

Quinten Lynch - He can send the ball over the goal umpire's hat into the top tier from inside the centre square, and cannon it into the goalpost from the top of the square in the same match. But you can't fault his commitment. Just about the hardest working guy in the side at the moment (though that's not hard).

Again, read the definition of hack. It's somebody who has limited skills and plenty of endeavour.

For the old time Port supporters I give you Robert "Sticks" Dolan, he played just one great game in his career, it happened to be the 1979 G/F.

From our AFL days, I give you Donald Dickie, he couldn't get out of Scott Wynd's way fast enough to suit himself.

 

[dons_08]

would of played in a premiership if wasnt injured,
more skilled then most western bulldog players i would sayy.
I loved it when he got the ball, you knew he was gonna do somethin with it
unlike when hahn gets it you no he is always going to have a shot from 300 m out

I disagree, a hack is not confined to that category. Although colloquially we usually refer to a hack as a no talent try hard, it could also be referred to some one who butchers talent as " to hack it". Therefore when referring to someone as a hack, don't you think it could used both ways?? So I'm saying that Rioli is a hack because he had the talent but ruined his career by being a fat arse lazy footballer. I think that's being a hack also.

But then again I could be just talking from my ass.

Please refrain from discussing the Essendon Football Club as you clearly have no idea.

Thank you.

The only position Rioli would fill in the last decade would be as the McDonalds Hamburglar.
