Sean Wight Article

Anyone who missed this article last saturday, it is well worth a read.

I am not a big Mike Sheahan Fan but this one deserves some cred. I actually shed a couple of tears reading this one, so in case it passed you by....

Nice work Mike...You did good.

Agree. Although confronting and terribly sad, it was a well written piece. It's easy to forget just how good a player Sean Wight was. An amazing athlete with incredible courage - two factors that he will no doubt draw upon in this battle. I'm sure I speak for every MFC supporter when I say that we wish him the speediest of recoveries.

I'll always remember the courage he showed in the 1989 night grand final against Geelong at VFL Park when despite tearing his hamstring, managed to knock the ball on to our advantage, resulting in a goal. It was an heroic effort, just like the hundreds of spectacular spoils that he made, often against taller opposition. He is an absolute legend of our club and played with the spirit that I'd love our current-day players to show on a more regular basis.

Get well soon Sean. We're barracking for you.

E remember the 1988 elimination final when we were being flogged by WCE at VFL Park Waverley and Sean Wight went to full forward (from fullback) and almost singlehandedly brought us back into the game with powerful contested marking. He also did a great job against Dermot Brereton in the '87 prelim. even though we lost. He often played the fullback position like a soccer goaly, very inspirational.
