Your lovable hack?

[Bigeasy]

Hey, Adrian was just big boned/had a slow metabolism/an underactive thyroid etc.

And that was in his brain.

 

[Bigeasy]

Aren't all fat sportspeople lovable?

Yes like John Daly, Mick Nolan and Stuart Dew...all lovable fat men.

 

[GuzzLG]

Yep, like the fat cricketer for Bermuda. Everyone loved him just because he had a fat gut. People can be so superficial. I'm sure the skinny players are good guys too.

No only the fatties are lovable, the skinny ones are hacks apparantly.

Sorry HP, I will never get over Adrian McAdam.

That guy was a freak and then just disappeared. I remember when they did a story on him on the news and he was kicking 30m drop punts into a rubbish bin. A freakish talent, much like Gilbert McAdam was at the Saints.

You think Essendon supporters treated Rioli like a lovable hack. You couldn't be further from the truth. We all thought Rioli was an excellent player. You also thought Kepler was a lovable player. Again, clearly incorrent. Laughing once or twice at him being a doofus doesn't mean we liked him in anyway whatsoever.

You have no knowledge of the Essendon fanbase's attitude towards its players so save yourself the embarrasment of discussing them.

Thanks.

First, I said that Rioli was a lovable hack. I do not deign to speak for your entire supporter base as you aspire to.

Second, you don't talk for all Essendon supporters. For example in this thread last year: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=345186

We don't hate him... well some do but those are the ones that have no idea.

The embarrassment is yours buddy.

Yeah he was like that bloke who could drive a golf ball 450 yards but couldn't play golf.

Surely Michael Symons is another example of a loveable hack. I had Bomber mates who loved this bloke's endeavour but I suppose the Guzz potted him from the stands as well.

I speak for the majority.

Just because he wasn't hated doesn't mean he was this fun guy who we all loved. We were all very disappointed in him and have no kind feelings towards him. And again, Rioli was an excellent part of our team.

Mate, give it up.

Rioli was not a hack, fat, trim or broken he was never a hack. Just because you started the thread doesn't mean you can change the definition of words to suit your argument.

Kep was a huge disappointment for the Essendon faithful, we may not have "hated" him, but this doesn't mean he was a "lovable hack". The reason he wanted out of Essendon was because of the fans, I reckon if you asked him if he was loved at Windy Hill he'd laugh in your face.

We have won 4 on the trot, and we are still calling for Laycock's head, i'd struggle to call that "lovable" either.

Yep, Michael Symons is a perfect example i'll give you him.

As other's have said Peter Somerville was well liked, not sure if i'd call him a hack or not though.

Shaun MacManus.

I win!!



RustyHawk....I know you are online....please lock this thread....it is finished.

I'll see your Shaun MacManus and raise you with the following pair:
James "Charlie" Manson and Michael Gayfer.
Absolute spuds of the highest degree. No talent and very lovable.
Keep the thread open RH.

James Manson.

I loved him.

He had a kicking style just like me





You win.

RoJo!!!!

legend, he was the best hack ever.

what he lacked in skill, strength, pace, accerlation and everything else...he made up for in effort. thats all you can ask.

love that bloke.

 

[Tyler Durden007]

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.

New leader on the waynker board... (ps.. like your little avatar... daddy wouldn't stump up the cash for a membership to bigfooty?)

 

[BLPC08]

Got to be Daniel Merrett, or "BIG ROGER" as I call out during our matches. I would say Jared Brennan, but he falls into the frustrating hack catagory more than lovable.

 

[ad4eva]

watching Mark Blake and Guy Richards battling out in the ruck last year in what was probably the greatest game of the season in the prelimanary final was one of the only downsides to the night.

 

[anti.]

daniel merret is no hack, he has hacklike qualities but is a very good player.

he's like darren glass 2004. top player who is a defender and nothing else.

 

[Brown Bottle]

David 'Dizzy' O'Connell.

I win.

David Cloke back in the day would have laid a claim to the title as well.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Tom Logan. Love his attack on the ball and pretty much everything he does until he has to dispose of it, then I hold my breath.

He picks himself every week with his effort though. Love him.

 

[Ant_]

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

How good? Soooooo good!


Bahahahaha

I agree with you in part Rioli was not a loveable hack; just an overated fat dud. Only played 100 games because of Sheedy.

Rioli's career stats:

100 games : Average disposals per game: 13
Average marks per game: 3.91
Average goals per game: .91
Average points per game: .57
Average turnovers per game: 4.02


Great stats indeed for an excellent player......

Yep, another Bulldogs supporter with no clue about Essendon players. They must think that Scott West and his 25 handballs a game makes him a champion player.

Please just refrain from discussing great clubs, you're out of your depth.

I'm sorry to catch you out Guzzle;

Yep, must hurt that a player of Rioli's calibre would be a serious candidate for your team of the century.
