No crowd has ever made a noise like that since.
With Mercs, I always remember 2 or 3 great seasons. For the rest of the time, I thought he displayed Somerville-like levels of inconsistency.
That’s how you choose to remember a 200 game, dual premiership, chrichton medal winning champion?
Mercs was amazing for 7 or 8 years…when his brother passed he was never the same
You ■■■■ one goat…
Same deal, you lose one prelim final just about off your own boot against the SALAMIS
Still the loudest crowd noise I’ve ever heard at the 'G.
If you were standing on the MCG I would booo you
People talk like Mercs was having a set shot…
I think it’s both unfair and incorrect to single out Mercs for the 99 final loss.
Dean Wallis on the other hand…
I blame Alessio and Caracella as well for missing sitters
I blame Hardwick, Young and Moorcroft for roughing up Silvagni when we looked like we had the game won. Silvagni’s address to the players over this fired them up, allegedly.
I blame Somerville for hitting it down Bradley and Camporeale’s throats when he had Allan at his mercy in the last
I blame Lloyd, Rioli and Fletcher for missing gettable shots straight after we’d got out by 15 points in the third. Kick two of those and it’s game over
Rotations are good these days, hey. McGrath and McKenna very close to capable of coming from half back to do the same.
Fark the '99 prelim.
Why the fark did I come in here. Like I needed that today. Ffs
I know, I’m so angry right now.
Why would you talk about the 99 prelim when you could be talking about the 2000 prelim?
Why would you talk about the 99 prelim when you could be talking about the 2000 prelim?
I don’t think I cheered once that day. I just held my breath for four quarters and then let out a massive sigh of relief when the siren went.
How many Winny blues?
Kinky.
WTF is this ‘Disney’ thing?!?!?
Kinky.
A kink that it would seem Peos shares with old Micky Hutchence.
