I'm picturing just a generic Collingwood small forward



the fact that Collingwood have possibly their most annoying incarnation of one running around at the moment makes me glad I won't be anywhere near the MCG on Sunday.

If we're talking generic players - Freo seemed to always have mid sized 188-193cm outside wingmen or third tall forwards that would play outstanding against us, the online debate would always be about why we never ended up with our own Paul Duffield, Ryan Murphy, Steven Dodd, Marcus Drum, Scott Thornton, Matthew Carr sort....and then we'd recruit our own, they'd be shit, and we'd spend 2-3 years working that out, and by that point, that Freo's only played well against us too.

I catch up with Michael quite regularly in Darwin (St Mary's Club).

I regularly tell him it was touched! ( His alleged goal that SOS touched) The only other issue of contention is my refusal to return his Essendon*** footy socks that he wore in a final and later wore on my boat when we went to Melville Island fishing for a weekend. It was not the 1993 grand final as I would have burnt those. I am sure he said it was the 1999 prelim, but when I refused to give them back he denied telling me it was 1999. I think he is only feigning his annoyance as he really wants to forget about the '99 prelim. I just want to forget the GF against North! (And the socks are still in my sock drawer 22 years later!)

:eek: The sock drawer is sacred space!

Those socks should be keel-hauled, or lashed to the bow of your boat - pirate style.

Unless, of course, you’ve got teenage boys. Then their sock drawer would be just perfect. :wink:


Michaels rolled up Bombers socks play a vital role in my sock drawer. They form a barrier between my blue socks and my black socks which Tommi will appreciate is helpful in controlling my OCD. And every time I open the drawer I focus on the day that Michael Long, his brothers and I took Magic Michael McLean fishing around the Tiwi Islands. Concentrating on the Tiwi fishing trip memory helps to nullify the memories of the 1993 grand final.

Surely we now must add Cox to this list?
He played his only good game since the 2018 prelim!

I'd add in De Goey too but he is a pretty good player most of the time and I feel like the tone of this thread is for those players who are generally crap but somehow always seem to play well against us....

Indeed that is the tone. An 'ongoing repeat moran' if you will.

Fully endorse the Mason Cox nomination.

You'll have to be more specific. So many to choose from

dunno why but Roos and Goodes come to mind. SOS was able to silence so many great full forwards in the game and sexton and others so many Half Forwards but had many a miserable afternoon at princess park watching Roos and later Goodes just tear us to ribbons.


Edit> i didn’t realise that the players in question had to be generally of a sh!thouse calibre.

Nah wasn't my intention, good, shit, superstar or list clogger... There's just always that guy who you know will play well against you.

In reverse, my perception was that Matty Lappin and Brad Pearce loved playing Essendon*.
